The US Army is standing up to Trump to protect its trans soldiers from him.

Damn...
Army guidance on implementing President Trump's order on transgender troops, filed in court today, says to NOT take adverse personnel action against people based on gender identity "at this time" and to continue medical treatment. for gender dysphoria.

Anytime anyone tells me they're against DEI? I'm going to ask them what it stands for. If they double down and say they're against diversity equality and inclusion I'm going to mock the fuck out of them.

@widgett.bsky.social Hey, Widg... Which 2 fingers are you using for the appropriate salute to Musk? Is that the classic V salute in England that the colonies truncated to just 1 finger?

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.

None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.

But a LOT are caused by bigots.

In the end, MAGA decided to “troll the libs” by putting pedophiles and rapists into positions of real power. Their supporters don’t care because they don’t have any ethics or morality or logic. All that they have is hate.

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.
Reminds me of the time at WorldCon when an ASL interpreter completely stole the show from Scalzi by signing the HELL out of a short story filled with weird alien words. Scalzi was laughing too hard to read half the time.

ASL interpreters are valuable and amazing and must be protected.
Imagine being threatened and irritated by ASL interpreters. Shut this shit down. There is no validity to the "point", they are not valid, shut up, go away. Sick of these snowflakes.

i think it’s unfair to expect regular people to know precisely how journalism works so i will say the answer to “why did they sit on that story for so long” is often “because of lawyers”
