This is not even intended to be an accurate description of what any group of trans people is saying. This is intended to manufacture cover for cis "allies" to abandon trans rights by giving the (false) impression there is a "silent majority" of trans people who want to "compromise" on trans rights.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Again, most of the replies to this tweet are about "actually he's still not good," but I think that misses the point. The important thing here isn't what column we sort Stephen Fry into, that's extremely internet-headed. The important thing is that this has happened and normal people will now see it

I told you this was going to happen lol - by a Lord no less! You can trace pretty direct lines of influence between far-right Twitter accounts and what journalists and politicians in this country talk about - great stuff 👍

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.

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.
