If having a trans partner is supposedly radicalizing people into leftists, why are a huge portion of DC Republicans having sex with trans women?
They demonize trans people on socials, podcasts, and the floor of the House by day then proceed to solicit sex with them at night.

I think when it's all told, self-hatred is probably the biggest thing fueling any fascist movement, past, present, future.
As a therapist, I've spent so much of my life witnessing firsthand what unchecked self-hatred does to the psyche. It's not pretty.

The Republicans are the party of things that never happened
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Totally normal to go off in a frothing rage over the word "cisgender."
Incidentally, I'm not sure if this woman understands how language works, but all words are made up.

The media should really be reporting on this bill. Aside from being absurdly undemocratic, it is far far beyond the pale for how dehumanizing and harmful it is to trans people. It's really just meant to expose us to threat and make us want to die.
"The bill, HB246 ... instructs the director of vehicles of Kansas to identify every license issued to a trans person and send written notice that the license must be surrendered and reissued. Driving with a license that has been canceled, suspended, or revoked is a misdemeanor in Kansas."
An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.

Being trans in a world of electronic databases is knowing that no matter what you do, how long you live with your legally changed name, how many locations you correct it in, someone will find a way to deadname you.
Electronic health records were a mistake. (I said it during the Obama admin and have been vindicated.)
Brought to you by: A hospital I went to as a kid merged with a hospital I've never been to. When my doctor referred me for some testing the lady on the phone looked up my phone # and deadnamed me.

Very interesting thread. Diagnosing Body Dysmorphic Disorder for a trans client is a huge red flag—confusing Gender Dysphoria with BDD is extremely bad, and also surgeries and other body modifications have no proven efficacy for BDD.
An actual gender therapist would never make a mistake like that.

Anti-Trans zealots are completely misinterpreting and exagerating what this verdict means for both GAC and other Detrans Lawsuits, so here are some of my thoughts:

Among other things, this is so incredibly dehumanizing to trans women
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

To be fair, they're just going with what they usually say when they bring their wives to the emergency room
DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

Organizations like Therapy First downplay the suicide risk to trans youth while pushing useless "therapy" that actually makes things worse, and they're currently teaching accredited courses through the APA
The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.
Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

Even Fox News must admit that running away from trans issues in 2024 was a huge tactical mistake on the part of the Democrats. Maybe if they'd stood up for us instead of being complete cowards we'd be led by President Harris right now.

The administration is insisting that its masked goons are so emotionally stunted that words can launch them into a murderous rage.
