1. Following EITM reporting, Michigan State Medical Society has said that anti-trans, SPLC-designated hate group Genspect has lost their CME credentials, as well as the parent organization that was supporting it.

Incredible reporting by staff writer S. Baum.

Anti-Trans Hate Group Genspect Loses Its CME Certification, Michigan State Medical Society Says
The for-credit lessons included a Moms for Liberty-sponsored panel as well as a lecture from a renowned anti-trans activist on how to politically organize against “gender ideology.”

This TDOR, I'm honoring Raven Syed, whose story I learned this year. Raven was a promising young journalist at Rider University. Raven's parent Elvira twisted Raven's life and work into an anti-trans narrative at Trump's 2025 FTC summit. I wish you were still here to help us, Raven. Rest in power.

This WaPo piece shows the gulf between opinion-havers (like their compromised Editorial Board, contributors Megan McArdle, Pamela Paul, Alex Byrne, Leor Sapir, + Jesse Singal types they cite) & real journalists. Thx Paige Winfield Cunningham & David Ovalle. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Thanks to @transvestigations.bsky.social for citing my research in this great overview!
1. Trump's Anti-Trans HHS Report authors have been unmasked, and as someone said, "Now we know why they were previously kept anonymous."

It's a who's who of hate groups and billionaire-funded anti-trans activists.

We detail the names in our latest report.

Trump's Anti-Trans Report Authors Revealed: Hate Groups and Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Activists
The majority of the “expert” comments cited in the “peer review” seem to be just as ignorant as the authors about the reality of trans people’s care.

Now that the anti-trans US HHS document has named the 9 contributors, I missed some in my guess: Farr Curlin, Kathleen McDeavitt, & SEGM-McMaster's Yuan Zhang. If you want to learn about the usual suspects, I updated my page with links to my profiles of each. www.transgendermap.com/issues/medic...

In October 2024, Reduxx co-founder "Genevieve Gluck" outed trans author Li Kotomi. In August, I revealed that "Gluck" is Myra Pearson, an American living in Japan. Li Kotomi, who lives in Japan, has just brought a lawsuit against "Gluck." www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.

This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

I profiled anti-trans author Nick Wallis, who was "peaked" in 2024 by discussions about puberty blockers for gender diverse minors. Wallis has claimed gender recognition laws are a “scandal” akin to the UK Post Office scandal and Muslim grooming gang scandal. www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...

Next up in platformers of anti-trans podcaster Katie Herzog: "Scott Veritas" (aka Matt Teitelbaum). Teitelbaum claimed to be a Democrat in college before embracing the "intellectual dark web" and later joining the William F. Buckley Institute. Quite a journey! www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...
