1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.
Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."
Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Reminder that whenever someone says "gender ideology," they're referring to the mere existence of trans people, not an ideology. This is eliminationist garbage.
The NEA will no longer fund arts programs that promote DEI or "gender ideology." The federal agency has cancelled grants that have funded programs for underserved communities for more than 20 years.

A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now.
Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.
The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.

The president is required to faithfully execute laws. The spending bill previously agreed to by Congress is law. Therefore, Trump refusing to execute that bill is a violation of the law, and another impeachable offense. In a normal world, that is.

No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.
