It's fascinating seeing the same rhetoric being employed here (teaching the controversy over "self-ID", etc.) that the New Statesman and Guardian were using 10 years ago for the UK. We know how that ended up - the NYT want to turn USian liberals into rabid transphobes like Brit liberals.

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

Currently there are no nhs gender services to which young people can be referred and actually get seen by someone (as opposed to being put on a waiting list to nowhere) so "watershed" here is very specifically referring to them being demolished and the ground salted.

It was the Biden administration's DOJ who decided to pursue this to the Supreme Court, not a trans rights group.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

We are talking about teenagers, about people who can follow politics and understand they're being denied autonomy over their own bodies. It's horrifying, and trans adults understand that pain acutely! I just genuinely cannot fathom how ill-equipped people are for these conversations.

Oh look. Another "Gender Critical" myth about trans healthcare, for which they have no evidence at all, disproven via study. When we all knew it was false all along anyway

In the attention age, I think the opposite is true. For your voice and criticism to have power you have to say things over and over again

What BS logic from the Supreme Court. Trans care bans don't discriminate on transgender status. Rather, its GENDER DYSPHORIA that they target. Not too many gender dysphoric cisgender people.

The use of photos of Adriana Smith heavily pregnant that have featured in almost all media about this is so gravely misleading that it's a story in itself. These pictures are from her first pregnancy. She died before she was far enough along to do a glowing smiling maternity shoot for baby Chance.

Watch the interview. Krishnan: “you seem to interchange the use of Asian, Muslim, Pakistani at different times in the report” Jess Phillips says it’s the bad ethnicity data. That’s not an excuse!

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

Sarah McBride's political niche is tokenistic assimilation. She claims epistemic authority on trans issues to flatter, reassure, and soothe cis consciences, reinforcing the idea that "trans activists" are simply "loud, obnoxious, hysterical, out of touch with REAL issues". She is a detriment.

The fundamental problem with Sarah McBride's logic in the New York Times today is that the fight over transgender rights is not one where "if only we were a little less confrontational" is the driving factor. Look at Republicans and how they treat people that even acknowledge a transgender woman.

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

They are literally attempting to re-write history. "You may have had rights in the past, but now we are changing it so you never did"

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

NC1 will knock out NC20 unless you ask your MP to co sign it by tonight. If you want to decriminalise abortion and secure equal human rights protections for women in England and Wales as in Northern Ireland please ask your MP to add their name now and make both votes possible.

The mask is in tatters, has been pissed on, set on fire, pissed on again, then finally shoved into a landfill of shit. Though I refuse to seriously entertain the notion that "reasonable centrists" actually believed the "trans people will not lose any rights" nonsense.
