Been meaning to do a 'hi new followers' thread for a few weeks now. I'm a feminist researcher, (loosely) in the field of politics, interested in reproductive politics, feminist debates and how feminist ideas get appropriate for reactionary ends.

This, but also it feels like the Netherlands having four times as many people diagnosed as the UK ought to raise some eyebrows, because I'm pretty sure that windmills and stroopwaffles don't cause ADHD, so perhaps we're just underdiagnosing horribly, catastrophically, appallingly, eh?
Guardian headline: 'use of ADHD meds has more than tripled!! 😱😭🚨'
Article details: barely anyone who might need the meds has access to them 🤷🏻♀️

Small numbers make any increase appear large in percentage terms. A useful quirk for moral panic framing.

The 8% of children, 3% of adults thing is wild to state uncritically, given that ADHD is a chronic condition i.e. does not get better over time, does not go away. If 8% of children have it, then so do 8% of adults.
Can confirm that my ADHD didn’t magically disappear when I turned 18.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Something more people should know is that Money's research didn't *result* in intersex children being coercively surgically 'corrected'. This was already happening and 'gender' (as pioneered by Money) only provided new justifications for it on the wake of assumptions about binary sex collapsing.

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢
This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID.

I would like to once again emphasise that the ET entirely exonerated (and indeed went out of its way to say it was doing so) the trans woman who has been so publicly monstered in this case.
Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case.
Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.

The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.

There is a lot in this interview. Quoting to amplify specifically that at the end they report the ICE agents saying, “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch.”
ICE agents appear now to approve of the killing of Renee Good as an act of terrorism committed by them collectively

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.”

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
