“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Whitmer declares October “transgender empowerment month.”

AG Nessel and the Michigan govt have yet to force state hospitals capitulating to Trump to return to providing trans youth care.

FUN FACT: I FRICKIN LOVE being Linda onstage! People love interacting with Linda, and her answer is always “Yes! More!” Once, I pulled up my top to reveal my burger pasties, and I heard a BIG GAY GASP in the venue, followed by a “Mrs. Belcher!” … and that lives forever in my favorite memories ❤️🍷💨

Hi all—I'll be periodically live-posting today's FTC event on GAC's supposed "deceptive trade practices."

Trump's anti-trans agenda is getting creative—cracking down on (or at least intimidating) GAC providers w/ misapplied consumer protection laws. The event will be...interesting.

The New York Times CONTINUES to release piece after piece spreading disinformation on trans care and dancing on the graves of trans youth in the wake of the SCOTUS decision.

This isn't even their big hit piece today.

Listen, I know sometimes I smell exactly like Campbell’s beef & vegetable soup, and sometimes I do things that are e-VIL, like the fru-ITS of the de-VIL; I’m just a sexy wee bastard, after all. So crank up the Bay City Rollers, Mae, and LETS GET PISSED. Be my hard-hearted harbinger of haggis?
