It's incredible how effective transphobia is as a litmus test for SO many issues. Every time I find a new pro-surveillance tech stooge, they're transphobic. I think people need to understand how tightly the belief that the internet is turning everyone trans is bound up w mass surveillance efforts
Jonathan Haidt Promoted a Fringe Theory on Trans Youth — Assigned
The author of “The Anxiety Generation” told Margaret Hoover for PBS that young people become trans due to peer contagion effects. There is no evidence for this claim.

I think these moments of staggering condescension toward the rest of the world, by Americans of all stripes, at all levels, is the thing that gets me.
It was neither boring nor insignificant to the Danes or the Canadians.

Reposting for the afternoon and evening audience. What would it cost for Canada to set up and run its own domestic airport security fast pass? Not nearly as much as you (or I) might think! #cdnpoli #PBO #Canada
Here is the link to the PBO report. TLDR? The PBO estimates that setting up and running a domestic verified traveller program would cost $7 million over 5 years. That’s predicated on a cost of $50 CAN per application. (The NEXUS card, by contrast, costs $120 US, plus travel costs.)

Politicians have no business banning essential medical care — for trans youth or anyone else.
Medical decisions should involve ONLY the patient, their family & their healthcare team.

If your neighbour sets their house on fire for 4 years & then puts the fire out for 4 years & then sets their house on fire again for 4 more years, you probably shouldn't be making long term plans that rely on your neighbour's house not being on fire, even if they manage to put out the fire again.
