twitter's probably still one of the more useful ones for general outreach but we can't be sure how long that'll be the case with how they've been purging people. a lot of the big name antifascist researchers have had to move to mastodon which isn't remotely near as useful for outreach.

Maybe we can make a mastodon as backup?
Avatar
if you want to, kolektiva.social would be a good instance for that since that's where most of the antifascist researchers and orgs went but I wouldn't expect it to get much reach. connections with other orgs though, maybe.

I can do graphics via Canva (it’s what I do for my job), write copy, I have experience with both Hootsuite and planoly for auto scheduling posts on IG and tiktok, I have a small social media presence, and I can do/have experience in basically everything social media related that’s Instagram or tiktok and some Facebook experience
11:40
I am a social media manager for a small nonprofit here and a freelance social media creative

I work better when I’m assigned tasks/not a leader but I am wanting to help however I can best be used

Like, if you really need an email for signup on something just send it to oat-<whatever>@endlessgate.io and ask me and I'll forward it to you. Different address for every service though! That's important because I use that to keep track of who sells my email.

Well, for my hosting I just use an Amazon EC2 instance. You could probably get cheaper service if you want to do something that is dedicated for email and is not a whole-ass EC2 instance (with less control obvs) but I think running the numbers it's about $60-75/yr for me?

I think our first posts should be a screenshot of the bills and then explain for each one what the impacts will be and then have a slide with actions/who to contact on the committees. We could do 1 post for each bill

So can someone with a Twitter account reach out to @TriadNCSRA for me? They seem to be fairly active on Twitter so we might get a quicker response that way.

And if you can, keep whatever portion of this is in the DMs brief.

I am mainly trying to get a response from any chapter in the state because I suspect they can help get contact with the other chapters.

Sam McKenzie 12/20/2022 6:22 PM
Feel free to keep them as is, this is just a small thought, but I don't want the use of devil horns to come across like our org isn't serious or seems immature, and I feel like some of the people we're trying to influence are pretty much squares who might see it that way. Maybe to get the point across, we could instead emphasize words like "ban," "revoke," "mandate ___," "out," etc through bold, underline, and/or other font colors (like red, perhaps)? And maybe say "perpetrators" or something instead of sponsors? That way, it would be clearer where we stand and how we want to frame the issue without photoshopping the horns on

for the "what to do" slide would we maybe want to say where they can fin the list of people in those committees?

I would also add on "what to do": Spread the word. Most people have never heard of this, and its so obviously terrible that even joe on the street can understand why the bills shouldnt pass

I think a good angle to go on is to spread the word to prospective students that SC isn't safe for trans people. Even if its only a few people that decide not to come, it keeps them safe and has some economic impact on the state

so if we make the font small it'll disappear when the logo is scaled down, but honestly we don't really need to scale down the text so we could just use the textless version for places it'll be tiny

Maybe instead of the flag use the colours? Like a pink outline, white fill, blue font for OAT or something? (edited)

for the insta, here's my caption so far "Over the past few weeks, South Carolina has introduced multiple anti-trans bills. These bills include Senate Bill S243, Bill S274, Bill S276, and House Bill H3551. Here is a rundown of all of them. These bills must be fought against. They put a direct target on the backs of trans people in South Carolina, and goes against their rights to transition, privacy, and a fulfilling life. "

Oklahoma has become the most recent state to propose banning HRT into adulthood, with SB129 bringing a dehumanizing and cruel 26 year minimum age. South Carolina OAT stands with our siblings in oklahoma. Keep fighting.

someone asked this question of abortion today, unfortunately doesn't seem to work that way, since the supreme court takes a very conservative (as in, withheld, not the political ideology) position with decisions. they overturned the abortion bill, but they didn't stop the possibility of passing different ones. (edited)
20:59
like their explicit ruling was just "a 12 week abortion ban is unconstitutional" to which one could then test a 10 week(?) abortion ban (happening actually) (edited)

just like they would find "an under 26 hrt ban is unconstitutional" but then you can test an under 21 one, and an under 18 one

Two things: If you are going to be advertising that we as a group are training with firearms, I imagine that could pose a potential security risk. In SRA we always vetted our members before we ever put a gun in anyone's hands. It would be a good idea to think about that, if part of your hope is to welcome new people to OAT who want the training from the self-defense classes, but don't already have a connection to the group. I don't want to sound hyperbolic or overly-paranoid, but it is just something to think about. (edited)

Second: if you do post photos, mark out anything immediately identifiable on the person (faces, tattoos) and also mark out the serial number of the gun

No matter your sexuality or gender, you should always feel safe. Having to defend yourself and your community from hate crimes is an unfortunate reality of being a member of the LGBTQ community.

Hi all, sorry for the delay, work's been insane. @Watson Brown pretty much covered it, the range day on the 21st was just through CLT SRA, feel free to tag our twitter in posts if yall haven't already done so. As far as at-event security for firearms stuff, there is a certain amount of "vibe checking" that must be done before handing anyone a firearm. Please don't invite anyone who cannot be vouched for by a trusted member here. I understand the need to get our trainings out to the community to people who need it, but a certain degree of security culture is absolutely necessary to protect everyone at these trainings, not just myself.

thank/tag our friends at @Socialist Rifle Association and @John Brown Gun Club (tagging y'all so you can let us know if you want to be mentioned), go over what we covered (eg focus on handguns and self defense), mention of rising violence and need for the ability for self defense. Honestly why not one post for both types of training and just have a big post about all the self defense shit we're doing?

My plan at least was mainly to do another range day for people who did the class if people wanted extra practice. That's pretty much the limits of what I know I could personally provide, and probably most of what we can provide in terms of in person stuff absent some structured curriculum.

In all seriousness though, the past couple days I've been focusing on following and sharing from different groups (some have followed us back), and then today I started focusing on at least having a story on Insta. I started saving things that i want to share in the coming days. So if you are on there, feel free to check those out and set them to the story. I also created several categories of "highlights" so that people can see what we have been sharing from others when they come to our profile, and it's a bit more organized. Any input, feedback or ideas would be wonderful! (edited)

I have a Canva premium, which I believe I can create teams in. If anyone else has Canva premium I can add u to a team OR if doable maybe we could pitch in enough individually to get a separate Canva account? I can then create a color scheme, and link the hex codes and put that into a brand kit

@lissie ! (pls ping) they/she Yeah, no worries! If you have that extra slot I'm sure using Preview for insta would be way better. I'll probably just connect the Twitter to Metricool and see what all I can get from that. I mostly just suggested tracking that stuff in case it could be useful, but at the end of the day idk how important it will ultimately be.

Social media nerd moment: Analytics can be SO useful in situations like this as it helps to know what’s working and what’s not.
10:20
Because social media is like a game basically and to get anywhere in it you have to not only know the rules but how to get ahead kinda?
10:24
I will be the first to admit that I am the kind of person who sees everything as manipulatable lmao (kinda bad but -=-). Social media is almost a thing you have to mold and manipulate if that makes sense? As shitty as it may be its just like… mess around, figure out what works, do more of it while skirting the line of pushing the envelope and yet not causing too much controversy. Social media isn’t only a beautiful way to meet people and spread word and create communities, but its also a way to poke and prod ppl’s minds to expand their horizons. Idk if that made ANY sense but
10:25
But yeah analytics r important 🙂

Ok, i was wrong and i dont have a slot for another account. It’s $15/mo to create an preview account that unlimited number of users can access. Since i am familiar with preview, i am fine using that still if others are, and i can move around some of my personal budget to shoulder the costs. Any objections?
10:37
Good news is this way, anyone else on @social_media is able to access the preview account by downloading the app or on the web

idk who made the most recent tweet but trying to both sides democrats for transphobic legislation seems very unproductive when we need them to stop said transphobic legislation

ik it's referring to "historical and ideological precedence" but that's a level of nuance that two tweets won't contain, it just reads like we're saying both parties are responsible when that's pretty empirically not the case rn

the shortcoming is moreso with actually making posts, stuff like the graphic wasn't updated until I half assed it this morning and I've been trying to get a post written for the info session at IRIS for like two weeks now, I've just been overwhelmed with other stuff and haven't had time/energy to sit down and do it myself (edited)

Well, also, now that I'm thinking about it: do we have a folder that's specifically for things that have been finalized and finished? I'm always down to post stuff on socials as long as I'm awake or not driving, but I get confused sometimes about what has actually been finalized/has the correct info/has been censored in the way that we want it to be. But ultimately, if someone pings me and says "hey, here's what needs to go on socials and here's relevant info for the post" I can do it within a time frame that works. With me not being on the ground for a lot of these events I just get confused trying to keep up with everything in the chat lol.

I know we'd also talked about coming up with posting guidelines. That would help me out as well. I kinda just go through things I see on the TL and try to post them here and there. But I wouldn't mind having a meeting where we kinda hash things out, and clarify a bit more what our "brand" is (sorry, I know, I work in marketing).

I know this isn't really the main point, but it just always strikes me that their sense of freedom is so limited to the status quo. Like, whenever ppl bring up women's sports I just wanna be like "women's liberation is not going to come through sports!!" There's just this whole limitation of what it actually is. Liberal feminism is just about allowing more ppl into the patriarchy, not about destroying it. And that's just one reason all these arguments fall so short.

Also in general, we have a lot more to lose and are therefore more likely to spend the time to actually speak on the issue. Conservatives who want it probably feel more secure they don't need to.

incredibly funny to me that they have to fly detransers from out of state to testify in favor of their shit

Worst case scenario and we end up with extra clothes, I know I can at least take them for a few days since I live a five minute walk from Blatt and there is both a queer closet and general Carolina closet on campus that take donations, if I’m remembering correctly

Hey y'all, this is somewhat embarrassing but I've spent a while thinking and I think it might be good to start an OAT podcast. We could track the transphobic legislation in the statehouse, interview experts on the bills, trans people in SC, and representatives from other orgs, and talk about upcoming and previous OAT events and protests. Could be a fun weekly or biweekly update thing.

Okay yes it is. It's going to have to be filled out by the event organiser and an associated organisation, who will basically be the ones who have the reservation and take responsibility if anything happens. I'm fine to do it if you need, but it just has to be done asap, if it's not too late.

When? They’ve had the permit for over a month

Sam McKenzie 03/30/2023 5:04 PM
Yeah, I suspect this has been in the works for a long time for them. But the more the merrier, probably. Is SC Pride collaborating with you, Justin?
Avatar
Also- I saw a question about having to fill out a permit. I should’ve been more clear about this prior, and that’s poor communication on my part. This is not on the field of the State House as TAA is. It is in front of it on the sidewalk before the barriers. Per our 1st Amendment rights, we do not have to have a permit to peacefully assemble as long as we don’t block anyone’s way.

Ok SO here is a video with a voiceover and captions of the voiceover for how to use the Trello board!! Notes: when adding ideas try to give me as much info as possible along with if there’s a due date for it. When I’ve made the graphic I’ll attach it and same with the caption. Anyone can check them out while I’m in that process but im really just going to try to have 1-2 posts at least a week. Whether that’s important events or updates or just like filler posts? Bc it’s important to stay consistent to get people actually seeing our posts.

@social_media we are trying to get more fun and humanizing content on the social media platforms. one idea presented at the last social media meeting was to highlight some trans artists and musicians. if you have any other ideas to accomplish this goal add it to the agenda for the next social media meeting this sunday . https://docs.google.com/document/d/1822R1ggIcp_vVANIdRtq7nZdG7bCO2Jd7dhO4OUIo7g/edit?usp=sharing we are also trying to streamline the process of getting content out. the trello will help us stay more organized and productive at getting posts made. so if you have some ideas for posts make a trello account and add it to our board. https://trello.com/invite/b/642a16d580db73f32a29df1d/ATTId7f57603f41c65c45c7b7ed9e786ad611269CD77/Content%20Pipeline please add some of your favorite trans artist to the board and maybe a little blurb about why you like them :) (edited)

Editing notes, for the recorder Start recording at roughly the same time. It doesn’t have to be exact (that’s what the clap is for) but a 20 minute gap is harder to edit than a 20 second gap Pls export as an mp4 or a wav ! Audacity can’t edit m4a : ( (edited)

Irabella (Leilah)(she/fae) 04/09/2023 6:50 PM
I've only used audacity for after-editing, so I could be wrong, but It might make sense to invest time into learning a DAW (like Reaper, ProTools, PreSonus, etc) to use so that noise gates, band filters, reverb, pan, etc can be applied in real time as you're recording. I also find it harder to edit longer audio clips in Audacity compared to other tools. (Maybe Audacity does these things now and I just didn't know)
18:52
Oh also DAWs tend to make it easier to mark spots for editing and auditioning clips and such in the project timeline as you're recording

lumenbos (they/he) 04/10/2023 10:17 AM
Some professionals in the disability space also don't understand trans issues and can underadvise people about diagnosis. Mind, my experience was not with a diagnostic professional but more of a life coach (able SC), but I was still told I'd have nothing to worry about having an official diagnosis on record when I voiced concerns.
Avatar
it's actually a very valid concern, a lot of people have been denied care because of their autism diagnoses
10:23
generally the solution to that is to have to find another doctor, and if you're getting care from the doctor you have that's great, but it's like a documented thing that happens and shouldn't be dismissed

It depends on their perceived functional level. I'm also autistic. What was the reason they gave for your denial?

I haven't been denied, she's worried I will be in the future
12:05
She used to work with autistic minors, and had a teenager client be denied birth control without parental consent, which is otherwise legal, because she was autistic and "couldn't make that decision herself"
12:06
She's worried that I would have a similar encounter, and well I already have no respect for authority and a temper to go with it lol, it's to save me some trouble
12:06
It's consensual, I also don't want the diagnosis

If you can articulate your gender dysphoria well and have shown the ability to care for yourself afterwards/not sabotage your healing, there's little reason for you to be denied.
Avatar
IMO the main issue with autism and gender dysphoria is ensuring gender is the underlying issue vs theorizing that it's easier to be the opposite gender due to problems socializing or other things that could be accommodated without treatment. E.g., "people will like me more as the opposite gender;" "I'd rather do the chores assigned to the opposite gender," etc. That should easily be determined by a therapist specializing in ASD who has respect for the client's autonomy.
12:47
The only issue is finding one of those, especially one who works with adults.

i think that therapists should have no control over autistic people :)

You could say that about everyone. But beyond that, there are more issues to account for when it comes to autistic people,. So it only makes sense that a therapist would be part of the process for multiple reasons.

Nerak1 Dave 04/10/2023 1:11 PM
I'd have to search my files. The article concerned the comorbidity of ASD and GD. They had between 70 and 150 people referred to the clinic who exhibited signs of the other (I think it was an autistic clinic that looked for signs of gender dysphoria, but it could have been the other way around). But out of all the people they determined had issues in both, only one had a simplistic reason for wanting to transition that wasn't GD related. That person was the only one in the study who was denied medical transition.

i strongly disagree that "people will like me more" or "chores" are genuine reasons people make it as far as medical transition, ive never met someone who genuinely somehow made it that far on such reasons. there is a LOT of internal deliberation when you go on hormones, people tend to know themselves pretty well.

Maybe the criteria for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria should be loosened ( or removed !) if significant distress is required for a diagnosis. It is another gatekeeper that makes it harder for people to access care.

Allowing people who don’t have significant distress to transition doesn’t invalidate people with GD, it makes it easier to access care for everybody. Nobody should have to prove they are suffering in order to receive care.

Doing it "for fun" implies that it's more like a game instead of a serious decision. You do it because it will either relieve stress, (reduce dysphoria) or make you feel happy (induce gender euphoria).

Maybe the criteria for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria should be loosened ( or removed !) if significant distress is required for a diagnosis. It is another gatekeeper that makes it harder for people to access care.
If you remove that criteria them gender dysphoria becomes a diagnosis for transgenderism. A better idea is to prevent DX from being a necessary prerequisite for care through informed consent, which is the direction the field is moving already
13:23
I would like to point out, the idea that gender dysphoria is not required to be trans is something you would agree with cyprus, so the way gender dysphoria works as changed from gender identity disorder establishes this as part of the DSM-5

hey could we not do this thing where we just assume people don't belong to groups because their experiences don't align with your own? I more or less don't agree with Dave but am not terribly educated on the subject so I'll stick to the part I know about, but this is the second time now someone has made assumptions about his identity. @seb it/they too (edited)

After my first text she said that a caller to WIS said some white supremacist groups were showing up. I dont put much stock into that

She claims that her concern over violence is due to the fact that she is sending a young photographer by himself and is concerned for his safety

In First Amendment law, a heckler's veto is the suppression of speech by the government, because of [the possibility of] a violent reaction by hecklers. It is the government that vetoes the speech, because of the reaction of the heckler. Under the First Amendment, this kind of heckler's veto is unconstitutional.'"

Instagram message from SCDS_SC Hey y’all, wanted to send you our support and solidarity from State College, PA! We’ve been busy fighting against Uncensored America on our own campus (where they first started organizing before moving to national organizing) these past few weeks, but we’ve been inspired seeing your militant resistance in South Carolina against UA. We were watching as your organization held your ground in the face of attacks from Admin and the threats from police. Feel free to reach out if you need anything in the future—we’d love to share anything we’ve learned in these struggles or to connect over our shared struggle against neofascism and UA (and oppression and class society altogether). In Solidarity, SCDS ✊

“We had the right to arrest those individuals. We're never going to want to do that. We don't want to really do anything that stifles free speech. I was very appreciative those individuals chose voluntarily to leave the audience," Shook said. "We also don't want the lasting picture of an event of students engaging in free speech to be someone being hauled out by police because that's not the image that we want." Imagine openly admitting you wanted to arrest people but didn’t because you didn’t want to look bad

About the MSA petition: I had the impression LL was invited by a student organization. Does the University have a veto over such invitations? My general sense is the best remedy for offensive speech is more speech, which was carried out in a forceful but nonviolent way by protesters making it clear she has more detractors than supporters. I should like to see an event cosponsored by MSA, OAT, and any other antifascist supporters about the dangers of allowing the likes of LL to go unchallenged. Who might be a good speaker to invite? Maybe a panel discussion?

About the MSA petition: I had the impression LL was invited by a student organization. Does the University have a veto over such invitations? My general sense is the best remedy for offensive speech is more speech, which was carried out in a forceful but nonviolent way by protesters making it clear she has more detractors than supporters. I should like to see an event cosponsored by MSA, OAT, and any other antifascist supporters about the dangers of allowing the likes of LL to go unchallenged. Who might be a good speaker to invite? Maybe a panel discussion?
Hassan he/him 04/20/2023 1:29 PM
I am not sure about the VETO. But its university’s responsibility to provide safe environment for all students residing on campus. They have a responsibility and moral obligation towards minorities ( protect their rights and make them feel safe ) its part of carolinian creed. Moreover they didn’t inform MSA about this event which they claim to . Former president had a chat on spot but there was no communication before hand

We are in process of taking it to higher administration demanding a formal apology from them and assuring that such events won’t happen again on campus

i think ive already put it here once or twice, but for ease of access my qna basically went like this (cw islamophobia, racism) me during QnA: do you (loomer) still identify as a "proud islamaphobe?" loomer: much like the term transphobia, islamophobia implies that my hate/fear is irrational, which it is not. she then said islam is not a religion its an ideology, and doesnt deserve religious protections loomer goes on to talk about ISIS and terrorism, she uses this to justify race and religion based travel bans and bans from services such as uber/lyft me during QnA: if you will deny all muslims rights because violent followers of islam exist, should you then be denied rights because of israel's occupation of palestine? loomer: palestine isnt real (edited)

dylanb1776 8s "In accordance with the carolinian creed" that's rich. FYI the carolinian creed states, "I will discourage bigotry, while striving to learn from differences in people, ideas and opinions." Y'all literally did the opposite of that, screaming, yelling, and cursing over anyone who tried to speak. A police report was also filed because one of your members punched an attendee. Stop the blatant tone deaf lies.

When to Capitalize President The AP Stylebook holds that you should capitalize president only as a formal title that is before one or more names. For example, President Barack Obama Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton President should be lowercase is all other uses. Example, The president will make an announcement tomorrow. I am ...

I also want to add that discord does have a setting for moderation It could help filter out some trolls i think Alt text: A screenshot of Discord’s moderation settings. There are buttons for the options, with none (unrestricted) selected for example purposes. The following options read: low (must have a verified email on their Discord account), medium (must also be registered on Discord for longer than 5 minutes), high (must also be a member of this server for longer than 10 minutes), and highest (must have a verified phone on their Discord account). The rest of the text reads,“Members of the server must meet the following criteria before they can send messages in text channels or initiate a direct message conversation. If a member has an assigned role this does not apply. We recommend setting a verification level for a public Discord.”

🧵 Thread on @SeanSemanko and @UncensoredAm lol We recently received an email from an anonymous group of students. Attached was a letter, similar to the one @sc_oat received about Uncensored America. This is what was contained within.

He is a hateful individual and feels the need to attack minority students on a public discord server.

And you could ask other queer orgs at usc if they would be okay with being on this post. Need to ask naacp if we can add them. Maybe ask MSA as well? Idk if they are usually a social group or political. Need to get formal approval from IRIS & csoc as well. Oat has lots of attention right now so any name we put could send hate in those directions. It's better to have a longer list of orgs than only 2 usc orgs

Fortunately the bill was pushed back to 2024, which doesn't mean the war is over its just extended. This is a win because it means that the bill has not passed yet The next monster we gotta slay this year is the censorship bill, h3728.

"making my own bread brings me queer joy because it reminds me that i can do things with my hands to feed and take care of those around me. This bread is extra special to me because the flour was gifted to me by a friend i met through OAT and i made it with my best friend. the first 4 loaves i tried to make came out like bricks, but i finally got the hang of it. making bread reminds me that taking care of my community requires persistence and pateinence"

i fixed the laura loomer pages on the website
10:43
the press release and the after-action report mistakenly had the same article content
10:44
also i added an "article template" page that should be duplicated and modified whenever making a new article
10:44
it's hidden from the navigation, so you can't find it on purpose from the main page, but it's still public at https://oatsc.org/articles/article-template
10:45
i also got rid of the "resources" tab and moved the "misc resources" page to be the link there

@social_media OATCAST 1. the first oatcast is almost ready we need a place to publish it @Drew suggested antenna ? i think 2. we need to start working on making episode 2 which our main road block is finding people from free libraries to interview so if we could get those pinned down that would be great GENERAL SOCIAL STUFF 1. right now in the bank ive got a couple queer joy posts ready to go and a story post from regan but robin does not know how to use the story like at all if some one else could post this it would be great 2. we are waiting on materials for safe space to make a post about them and it is on its way ART FUNDRAISER 1. robin found a bunch of atl artists today and will begin contacting them through the social media when we have a date for that 2. if you know or find any cool local artists add them to the spreadsheet and robin will work on contacting them https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1smR-6B42b4BvEJBLQe8A74x4yxkr9Qe05dArNbh7OBo/edit?usp=sharing 3. robin infiltrated the sc makerspace's discord but it is boring and they just talk about how their 3d printer is broken and so it will probably just email them later to ask them if they want to join
