What bothers me more than anything about this is that many of the same people who correctly go, "This guy's a crank!" when he's talking about Tylenol causing autism or anti-vax stuff will sit there nodding along like, "Hey, if HHS said this, it must be legit!" when it involves trans care.
I’m at HHS headquarters where RFK Jr. is announcing new restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors by spouting pseudoscience and political misinformation that goes against every major medical association.

The easiest way to emigrate to Canada after WWII was to claim you were an anti-communist and the easiest way to prove you were anti-communist was to present your literal Nazi service records. Canada was basically Argentina with moose and maple syrup.

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

On Saturday, October 4, Israeli settlers, escorted by armed soldiers, stormed Hebron’s Old City, further tightening restrictions on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine.
He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews.
Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.
Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

This is one of the better pieces I’ve seen on the US murdering alleged drug traffickers.
