I love podcasts and feminism.
Radical, intersectional feminism. Curtailing trans people’s rights to exist freely is not feminist. Do the reading.

And cisgender women are not threatened by trans women’s inclusion in their ranks. It’s just a lie.
I’m more threatened by these GC creeps than by any trans woman or trans man. Because I know that GCs align with gender conservatism - ideology that causes much more danger to women & to queer people.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

breaking the rules to save your child years of suffering and possibly their life is your moral duty, get them on the correct hormones no matter what and don't bother with "doing things the right way"

And let's not even get started on the absurdity of looking for a positive impact from a preventative measure, where the expected outcome is "not getting worse"
Puberty blockers had no measurable impact on divorce rates, therefore ineffective treatment.

may well write about this properly at some point but: as someone with ADHD who's not on meds but smoked/vaped from the age of 13 and quit six months ago: fuck my life, it's hard to deal with emotional dysregulation when you're no longer self-medicating with colossal amounts of nicotine
I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”
