Good article about how the same hate group facilitates child abuse and works with politicians. But this quote really drives the key point we need the general public to understand:

What I'd like to see is advocacy for something really simple - you get to choose your puberty. And if you disagree with that, show me the data that shows that doesn't pass cost/benefit with flying colors. Even if you stretch the likelihood of regret-detransition as high as you can.

I'm skeptical of the left's tendency to make everything too connected. But it's maddening how much reactionism stems directly and indirectly from petroleum dependence.

“Love the sinner, hate the sin”
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that you love the alleged “sinner”
Or if that counts, then love is greatly overrated. It’s not enough to stop abuse.

#lasvegas #rtc security at SSTT tonight decided they had to play potty police. Four of them surrounded me and told me there was a "gender issue" with me waiting for the women's restroom, and didn't leave me alone until I showed my ID.

I have never felt less patriotic on the 4th of July. America's boasted liberty continues to be unholy license, its national greatness swelling vanity.

Insisting that everyone should have a clear, recognizable and unchangeable gender only makes sense if you want to treat people of different genders differently.

Has anyone in the legislative branch developed a plan for what to do when/if the executive branch finally, formally tells the judicial branch to get bent?
Congress? Anyone in there with a plan? A thought? A response other than futile spluttering?

The slope isn't slippery; the frog isn't gradually getting boiled. Within its first hundred days the Trump administration has openly asserted the right/ power to seize and imprison anyone— including political dissidents, including citizens— and deprive them of any legal recourse at all.

I just presented at an academic conference as myself for the first time, absolutely nailed the talk, did some networking *in Spanish*, heard my professor drunkenly squee about working with me, and took 23 selfies in like 8 hours! Good damn day.

Wait a second... Our new overlords think puberty blockers are bad... but RFK hired a quack doctor who uses puberty blockers to treat autism. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS! https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/03/rfk-jr-hires-anti-vaccine-advocate-to-study-debunked-vaccine-autism-link/

Finally.
A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.
I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.
It is NOT just for athletes.
