I hope that they are proud of the fact that this was the entirely foreseeable outcome of their transphobia

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not “gold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard.

IMO it’s just pseudoscience.

There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.

Thank fuck. Lets hope they give up on this attempt at torturing people
USAToday [Feb 24] -- In a setback for Trump admin, a fed judge indefinitely blocks move of 12 trans women to men's prison, finding women likely to prevail & indefinitely extending a Jan 30 TRO. Judge rejected govt argument that women would be "safer" in men's prison.[@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]
Judge blocks Trump-ordered transfer of transgender women inmates to male prisons
President Donald Trump has ordered the government to recognize only two sexes. Transgender people are fighting the orders in federal court.

If I had to make the choice today I would still do what I did more than two years ago, nothing has made me more complete and whole than that
People transitioned in way worse climates than the USA today, and if it wasn't for them doing it and fighting for their rights then we'd have nothing today

Easy for me to argue as someone who stood on their shoulders, but we have to work with what we have
seen a sentiment from a few people now expressing or implying a desire to transition but feeling unable due to the current political climate. while fear of the future is completely reasonable, waiting for a "good time to transition" will waste your life. it will never not feel scary at first

I am #intersex. I was born with physical characterisics from both sexes. They told me I was a girl, and then they told me was a boy. They cut me open and surgically altered me and left me in pain for forty years. They lied to me about what they'd done.

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

Geraldine Roman is a politician in the Philippines. On trans rights she says:
"Recognizing our rights and dignity will in no way diminish yours. We are not asking for special privileges or extra rights. We simply ask for equality. With inclusiveness and diversity, our nation has so much to gain."

Banning trans women in sport changes nothing for anyone except a handful of trans women. Cis women will still be raped by their coaches. Cis women will still be paid less. Cis women will still be second to cis men.

But Oliver Brown hates women, so he's happy with that.

What they mean is that they have NO valid evidence - just ignorant bigoted prejudice.
The NI Executive say releasing evidence supporting PB ban is ‘not in the public interest.’

Not in THEIR interest, more like, since anyone with any analytical skills will be able to see, they couldn’t draw the conclusions they did, from the evidence available.

today the House passed a Trans Sports ban, and they will likely forward a federal Trans Bathroom Ban soon. my latest essay is a deep-dive into research studies that debunk such such legislation & chronicle the long history of smearing marginalized groups as "sexual predators":

This is exactly why professional bigots must not be tolerated. A whole constellation of media companies, politicians, and pseudo "experts" are profiting off this bloodshed.
Every transphobic “journalist” every media editor is responsible for this transphobic attack.

Especially the Murdoch media, the BBC, the Telegraph, the Observer, the Mail, the Express, Unherd, New Statesman etc… www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...
