The regression on LGBTQ rights is global. This is certainly coming to the United States under a second Trump administration.

This is the sound of the Biden administration throwing the trans community under the bus on the anniversary of Stonewall.

They did screw up. They were backed into a corner over poor comms after the NYT headline but they're too chickenshit now to walk it back and hoping it'll go away quietly. It's a fuck up on their part but the consequences are felt by trans youth.

The Democrats entire bet is that they can poach Trump voters over Roe and by embracing Israel and shitting on trans people. And when that doesn’t work out liberals are going to blame the NYT and the media et al instead of this obviously terrible campaign strategy. They should fire the DNC.

I wonder if the NYT's editors ever think about the exclusive major stories they miss out on because people avoid them due to their anti trans bias. I've had some major news tips that have made news cycles that I've steered to other outlets instead.

They submitted a cert petition to the court for them to consider it. They can't just consider it willy nilly. DOJ shouldn't have asked SCOTUS to get involved at this point.

Honestly, I blame Biden's DOJ for seeking cert on this case without a full record. They did it with this court and will likely set back trans rights for over a generation. It's going to be catastrophically bad. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The only way to maintain any kind of sanity as a public figure is to actively avoid places where you and your work are being discussed. Human beings were not made for the volume of feedback the internet is capable of providing.

There were 16 trans youth suicides after gender affirming care restrictions were implemented in the UK in 2020 compared with only 1 in the 7 years prior. Staff at the NHS attempted to cover it up. Hilary Cass knew but minimized what was happening. This is a massive scandal. Cass lied, kids died.

Illinois high school sports association is setting up a genital inspection committee for trans youth wanting to play sports. They want access to detailed medical records and other private information. Absolutely despicable.

It's open season on the medical records of trans people. They're openly encouraging people to commit felonies to learn them while state AG's abuse their power to access them for nefarious purposes.

Huge win in Florida. The restrictions on providing gender affirming care to trans youth and adults have been found unconstitutional and are now permanently enjoined. Huge win by Simone Chriss and Southern Legal Counsel.
