"There is institutional racism in America." - @JoeBiden It blows my mind this is considered brave. No fucking shit, Joe. What are you gonna do about it, INCREASE police budgets?! Don't get me wrong, I'm voting against @realDonaldTrump, but jfc #Debates2020 #Debates #debate — PolitiTweet.org

"@KamalaHarris is more liberal than @BernieSanders." - @realDonaldTrump I mean, yeah.... Bernie's a progressive, not a liberal....? Is that supposed to be an attack? #Debates2020 #DebateTonight #Debate2020 #debate #debates — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when Trump said he'd put his businesses into a trust? And instead turned operations over to his kids? And didn't even remove himself on paper? And gave his kids top highly paid WH jobs (& top secret clearance)? @realDonaldTrump is projecting. #Debates2020 #debates — PolitiTweet.org

"I called my accountant, I want to release my tax returns as soon I can" - HE'S BEEN SAYING THAT FOR 5 YEARS What is he hiding? @realDonaldTrump is a corrupt liar. #Debates2020 #DebateTonight #debate #debates — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "I didn't say it will be over soon, we're gonna have to learn to live with it." @realDonaldTrump, ten seconds earlier: We'll have a vaccine within weeks. Just a total liar #Debates2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

This is just a total lie. There's no vaccine coming within weeks. @realDonaldTrump is full of shit. What's coming within weeks is the election. We're not that stupid. #Debates2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Life is already hard for trans people. Using the correct pronouns is free. YOU can make a difference. Speaking of privilege— If you liked this post, & you want to help support my work as a full-time activist, writer, and public speaker, one way you can help is by… — PolitiTweet.org

…at the grocery store, yes. It hurts a lot more to get called "sir" at a job interview. There's a reason #trans women according to data on the subject experience a 1/3 drop in income after coming out—& of course, coming out & transitioning involves huge expenses, on top of that. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

DON'T ARGUE. If someone tells you different pronouns 1 day to the next, just say "OK" & switch. 9. Understand that using "obvious" pronouns is a form of #privilege. Trans people are misgendered CONSTANTLY—it hurts to get called "sir," as a trans woman, when checking out... — PolitiTweet.org

8. Some people try out several pronouns to find the right ones for them. Others, for example genderfluid people, have more than 1 set of pronouns they use, or even change which pronouns are right for them from day to day or even throughout the day. #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

7. If you don't know someone's pronouns, DO NOT use honorifics like "sir" "ma'am." Yes—even in the South! If you're accustomed to calling elders, customers etc "sir/ma'am" it may feel impolite at first. But misgendering is MUCH WORSE. Just leave it off instead. #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

6. If you don't know someone's pronouns, NEVER MAKE ASSUMPTIONS! If you don't know the correct ones, DEFAULT TO "THEY/THEM" or simply don't use any. - "Someone left their sunglasses." - "See that person over there? The person with the crop top & long red hair." #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

5. Don't argue with someone about their pronouns—even if those pronouns are unfamiliar to you. That's for YOU to work on, on your own time. DO NOT ask follow-up ?s. Someone giving their pronouns is NOT an invite for a free on-demand private lesson ab trans issues. #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

DO NOT make a big deal out of apologizing. Do not even pause. Just correct it and move on. Seriously, it's truly that simple. 4. If you don't know someone's pronouns, ASK. Here is how you ask someone's pronouns: "Hey, what pronouns do you use?" "She/her." "Thanks" #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

- NEVER say "preferred pronouns." It's not a preference. My pronouns are she/her; anything else is inaccurate. 3. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, do EXACTLY this and ONLY this: - "I was telling him—sorry, her—that she might consider asking a librarian for help" etc. #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

- ALWAYS introduce yourself with your name AND pronouns, eg: "I'm Danielle & my pronouns are she/her." 2. Understand that correct pronouns are NOT optional or a preference. In some jurisdictions, it's against sex-based discrimination laws to misgender someone. #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

YOU CAN HELP normalize introducing yourself with your pronouns by doing a couple of REALLY simple things: - Edit your @Twitter & FB bio, email signature, name tag at work, and anything else you can think of to include your #pronouns, whether you're #trans or cis. #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Today is the 3rd-ever International @PronounsDay! I'm so excited & I want you to be excited, too. Here are a few things to know about pronouns: 1. Many #trans people including me HAVE to out ourselves if we want others to gender us correctly (cont) #PronounsDay — PolitiTweet.org

@AuntTifa420 @JoeBiden @Twitter @ewarren @JulianCastro @NYCMayor @KamalaHarris Okay, you tweet at him and ask him to support M4A. Incremental changes is what happens in a two-party system. — PolitiTweet.org

@AuntTifa420 @JoeBiden @Twitter @ewarren @JulianCastro @NYCMayor @KamalaHarris If this goes viral and I get interviewed, I'll say my goal in getting his attention is substantive change. I have a Bernie tattoo, #M4A is definitely my priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Hey @JoeBiden! Day 2 in a row: I'm a #trans woman. It'd help #transgender visibility & support a lot to add your #pronouns (he/him) to your @Twitter bio as @ewarren, @JulianCastro, @NYCMayor, your VP @KamalaHarris, & I do. It's quick, free, & meaningful. What do you say? #LGBTQ — PolitiTweet.org
