Kennedy appointed Robert Malone to the top vaccine advisory committee ACIP. Malone is one click off Andrew Wakefield. He thinks the covid shots killed 17 million and that bird flu vaccines are a deep state psyop.

Evan put a lot of work, time, and care into this article. With everything that's currently at risk for trans youth, it's worth a read. Please check it out.

*screams in trans pharmacist* TESTOSTERONE IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL It’s category X (harm to fetus) but it is NOT contraception. If you are with a partner(s) in which pregnancy is possible, contraception is needed!

Thread!!

Thread. If you are/support trans folks, and are on the Internet enough, you'll likely see transphobic detrans rhetoric sooner or later. (My encounters with it were back on Twitter, but it might be lurking here somewhere too.) Arm/Inoculate yourself with this knowledge:

I also wonder how many people are classified as detransitioned when all they did is stop taking HRT- for medical or financial reasons- and they still live as their transitioned gender. (Like me. I am still trans even if I've lacked T for years.)

"Of respondents who had transitioned, 9% had gone back to living as their sex assigned at birth at some point in their lives, at least for a short while—but in almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination from one’s family, friends, or community."

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Dr. Amy wrote this excellent blog piece for Psychology Today about Sensory Sensitivities and Food, and discussed my guidelines from my food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. Everyone give it a read!

Better save a copy of this now

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

thank you @ndlon.bsky.social and Pablo for helping explain why this Home Depot street corner is essential to understanding what’s going on in Los Angeles.

I wonder how major GOP donor Ken Langone, founder of Home Depot, feels about Stephen Miller specifically telling ICE to round up people at Home Depots

Mayor of L.A., Karen Bass: “It wasn’t a drug den—it was a Home Depot.”

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." (They literally raided a Home Depot.)

@drneilstone.bsky.social

I'm shocked, I tell you! www.notus.org/health-scien...

I've been curiously listening to a religious podcast that's conservative but not current times conservative, and they have people call in. And I just gotta say, the cis people are Not Okay. They're realllly struggling with trans people existing. They have so much anxiety about explaining transness.

It’s all a pendulum with RFK. He will lie. He will cheat. He will manipulate. He will do what needs to be done so that he gets what he wants while disenfranchising decades of public servants. The damage is done. I was NOT a fucking mistake.

if you've been watching the community defenses against ICE and thinking, "i support my comrades but i don't feel comfortable being on the ~front lines~" please know there are many other ways to support! you can drop off a case of water and snacks, buy medical supplies, donate to jail support, etc

Fulbright scholars are pretty deep into the "first they came for" chain, in case you're wondering how alarmed you should be.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

Please make sure every senior you know is aware that Trump just gave his blessing to senate Republicans to also cut Medicare in his big ugly bill so they can afford to give tax cuts to billionaires and corporations. Not just Medicaid, but Medicare. Everyone should know and write their senators.

Donald Trump is causing harm and chaos to distract us from the Senate debating his disastrous "Big Ugly Bill" that rips away healthcare for 16 million Americans. We need to oppose these actions & ensure that people have access to Medicaid and food assistance.

When asked about the ban on Medicaid being used for gender-affirming care for transgender people, Elizabeth Warren says “I haven’t seen it”

The AMA's House of Delegates has adopted an emergency resolution opposing RFK Jr.'s move to gut the federal vaccine advisory council. The nation's top doctors association will seek a U.S. Senate investigation of his action, as well as alternate vaccine advice from elsewhere to invest in.

I really wish Simone Biles (& others) would read this – or literally any of the similarly in depth analyses of the research & complexities surrounding trans ppl & sports (no paywall) on Substack: juliaserano.substack.com/p/trans-peop... & Medium: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...
