What progressives want for trans people is safety & equal rights. Focusing on stuff like leftwing “language policing” trivializes & misleads about what is at stake. It seems @thirdway.bsky.social co-founder Jonathan Cowan is repeating rightwing talking points. 1/

Fun fact about me: before going into science, I worked in military intelligence. I had a top secret security clearance & handled classified information on a routine basis as part of my job. Keeping sensitive info from leaking to the public is easy, Hegseth is just dangerously unfit for the job.
