I know it's been said many times but it's clear that many professional transphobic hacks within journalism and the government in the UK fully expected trans people to just roll over and detransition in response to the supreme Court decision and they seem very upset that it didn't work out that way

"Transgender people must accept a reduction in their rights after the supreme court decision on gender because they “have been lied to over many years” about what their rights actually were, one of the commissioners drawing up the official post-ruling guidance has said."

I've got a new piece out on the astounding abuse of power from Missouri's AG and GOP lawmakers right now, all to try to undo the abortion rights constitutional amendment voters approved months ago—and also, how this should be a reality check on the tactic of "putting abortion on the ballot":

the thing about the NYT releasing a podcast about trans healthcare is that if it’s not the story of how the alliance defending freedom captured the most influential liberal media outlet in the us and got it to provide a veneer of scientism to a bigoted religious crusade, what is it about?

"Balance in journalism doesn’t mean giving equal weight to truth and lies, it means giving weight proportional to credibility... If one doctor out of a hundred dissents from the consensus, that’s not a “side” deserving 50% of the story. The era of false equivalence needs to end."

How strange, it seems like there's no amount of collaborating, segregation and humiliation of a child that would ever be enough for fascists. Who knew, Democrats, who knew?

corporations bailing on supporting lgbtq+ organizations out of fear of getting attacked by the trump admin is exactly why longtime activists have criticized the hollow corporatization of pride and advocated for grassroots pride events.

Anyone pushing the argument that the people who saw a white nationalist campaign grow into a cult of death and fascism over the course of a decade are just innocent lambs who need a hug is trying to sell you poison with a glitter heart sticker on the label.

Cutting $20 billion to NIH over 25 years may save $500 billion on paper, but it’d end up costing $8.2 trillion in lost human health. But NIH isn't the only thing being cut. The budget also slashes all NSF-funded science by 73 percent. NASA faces “the biggest single-year cut to NASA in history."

This is what happens when Democrats shift right on immigration, they legitimize the lies. They could've run ads defending immigrants along with ads showing masked men taking away mothers and their babies. It would've pushed back on the blatant lies that worked.

It's been over a year, but I finally got the time and mental space to be able to blog again. This time, I decided to look at why people still call the New York Times a liberal paper, and made the case for why, substantively, it is not.

Earlier today, a Government of Québec-appointed committee presented its 300-page review on gender identity. Whilst not exactly Cass Review-like, it could lead to anti-trans developments here in la belle province. Read my summary of the review here: celeste.lgbt/en/2025/05/q...

Judge Terence Evans seat on the 7th Circuit was kept open by the Republicans for 8 years from 2010 - 2018. Four of those years 2010-2014 Democrats controlled the Senate. Dems allow & enable this.

The problem is Democrats don't refuse to use all available options(abolishing filibuster, expanding the court) when they possess power, then Republicans use any means possible (holding open SCOTUS seat, Trumps EOs) to accomplish their goals & Dems just shrug & refuse to do the same thing.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.
