The absence of trans people from the British media is part of the problem. I'd like to offer mentoring to trans people trying to get into journalism, free of charge. Most of my experience is obviously in political commentary, but I might be passably useful in news and other areas.

The state of the newspapers this morning: a near-universal attack on trans people, most of it grossly exaggerating the implication of yesterday's ruling. Almost joyous in its spite.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Supporting bathroom, sports and healthcare bans for trans people means signing on to a moral panic about problems that DON'T EXIST.
When people say Democrats should "moderate" on these issues, they are suggesting that we legislate a group out of public life based on lies.

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is.
Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

When TERFs talk about “harm” from blockers, what they mean is that kids who take them generally go on to transition medically and live happy and fulfilling lives as trans adults. To a TERF that constitutes them having been “harmed”. The thought of a happy trans person disgusts them.
There is no evidence whatsoever of any harm caused by puberty blockers. There is evidence of harm caused by banning them.

That's why they're called a hate group
The LGB Alliance's influence globally is so harmful it's legitimised a presidential campaign to erase trans people's existence from history altogether.
