9 years ago the NBA pulled the All-Star Game out of North Carolina because of their anti-trans Bathroom Law. The choice had massive public support and was applauded Less than a decade later and half the country has those laws, including Congress itself, and barely anyone blinks LESS THAN A DECADE

Reminder that @nytimes.com is a material asset in the fight to purge trans people from society and subscribing to it, materially, contributes to that effort.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

NEW ESSAY: rather than reading the legalese SCOTUS used to justify Skrmetti, learn about how conspiracy theorists hijacked mainstream discourse on gender-affirming care: on Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/what-covid... & Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/what-covid-l...

Hey everyone. I've heard this now from multiple people. Passport offices are refusing to comply with the court order to issue passports to trans folks and change gender markers.

If you think trans activists went too far and Self ID was a mistake... If you think we should go back to the old days and it should be way harder for people to transition... ....you're saying I never should have transitioned. That I should have withered in the closet.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Please reach out to the trans folks in your life and make sure they're doing ok. This is going to be a very rough day for most of us.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

Terrible Gallup poll today. Lots of bad anti-trans sentiment, but this one really blew my mind and should be VERY eye opening to our LGB folks: America is about to cross back over into being gay or lesbian is something that is caused externally (and therefore "fixable" with conversion therapy)

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

As I said earlier, what mattered was what was done, not was said, and it wasn’t the Cass Report. NOW it’s the Cass Report.

Why do we need Pride? Because an actor was shot by a neighbor who hurled homophobia at him and his husband on the remnants of his burnt down home while checking the mail The skulls of their dogs, who died in the fire, were prominently displayed The media calls it an “argument” between neighbors

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

TL;DR: Boundless is the newest publishing house to claim they bought out a previous publisher's assets without owing its debts (e.g., author royalties). So, yeah, fuck them and do your part to make sure they die, because this sort of BS has no place in an author's life or the publishing world.
