The “Pro-Life” party strikes again. It’s only life, apparently, if it’s pre-natal.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

ErinReed [Mar 10] -- 400+ pages of new medical guidelines from Germany, Austria & Switzerland reaffirm trans medical care & rebukes Cass Review for "not involving medical professional societies" & recommending "psychotherapy for the ‘management of GD distress.’" [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social You blew it, buddy. Stop trying to get ahead and get right by your people. LGBTQ+ Californians fought for you, and now you pull this with Kirk. The one going under the political bus is going to be you, not us.

If governing bodies are serious about creating better & more opportunities for women, their focus should be on the numerous, proven research which finds unequal treatment of women’s sports in participation opportunities, funding and resources, access to facilities & infrastructure, &media coverage.”

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship

Since Payton McNabb is in the news again, time to remind people her injury was the result of an unforced error. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with her opponent being Trans. Payton was victim of bad coaching which led to her pulling off the net and playing defense outside her blocking assignment.

I continue to speak out against every bill that attempts to remove trans people from public life. And I will continue to do so for as long as I draw breath. I hope one day the government will leave my people alone.

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

… of course, the UK Guardian did help mainstream transphobia into left politics, so their complaints about Trump and “the trans” in the current moment are too little, too late.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

The asymmetry between left and right is utterly breathtaking. Imagine that Kamala Harris, wife of a Jewish man, had defended the Columbia student who had said "Zionists don't deserve to live" on her Twitter account. That's what JD Vance has done, throwing his wife and kids under the bus.

There are just over HALF A MILLION athletes competing at college level in the US. TEN of them are trans. That is who Donald Trump has just banned. TEN PEOPLE. Who are apparently “DESTROYING WOMEN’S SPORT” 🤪. This isn’t about fairness. It’s about hate.

The NCAA is not even subject to title IX as they are not federally funded. So this is pure cowardice to single out less than ten athletes nationally. I'm not even sure how exactly they'll enforce this.

And just like that, the US is back to good old racism, sexism, and _all_ the ‘phobias, with no protections for equal dignity under the law. If the justice department won’t act against plain bigotry, we really are entering a lawless time. We won’t all live through this to “see how it works out.”

Remind me how Trump’s proposed US sovereign wealth fund wouldn’t be “picking winners and losers,” or “government overreach in the private sector,” or “state ownership of the means of production.” Asking for my once conservative friends.

In the dating world, there’s apparently a saying now that straight women say to their girlfriend who is frustrated that the man they’re seeing isn’t taking next steps in the relationship: “If he wanted to, he would.” Seems applicable to our frustration with Democratic leaders.

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
