Would love to be a Coastal thought leader making hundreds of thousands of dollars to condescend to corn-fed rubes in flyover country, warning them about the dangers of shooting themselves in the nuts, but alas I'm just a small-time lawyer who's somehow managed not to burn my own house down in anger.

Part 3: "The astronomical rise in stories about trans people that I’d collected over the previous year told a different story. This massive, messy dataset was brimming with increasingly vile headlines that only seemed to metastasize with time. ... two years later we know how the story turns out."

The thing that's the most egregious about this cover up is that before all this happened, there was evidence from similar policy changes in the United States of rises in suicidality amongst trans youth (and also significant drops in youth LGBT suicide with pro LGBT policies).
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

Friend who's part of a neighborhood watch group says their car was just surrounded by ICE. Is fine but obviously rattled.

Honestly, it's kind of a surreal time to be a transfem, just on a meta level. Obvious difficulties aside, it's sort of a trip to discover how apparently everyone else on earth sees being a woman as the worst thing you could possibly be.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

i don't really give a fuck about the motivations (i recognize that kiwifarms' policy is wholly for self-preservation legal reasons), but the reasoning behind the policy doesn't matter, saying "we should doxx this person so they fear for their life" is a permaban offense on kiwifarms and not on here

Rather than admit to a mistake, cry "cancel culture" and elevate inexcusable people, then call yourself a hero for "standing up to the woke mob."

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
