When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

When I talk about transphobia operating on the logics of abuse scaled up to the communal or societal level, this is what I mean.
"Look how much it sucks to be trans, because I made it that way. You should just desist, because if you insist on it, I'm going to have to hurt you so much more."
"Look how much it sucks to be trans, because I made it that way. You should just desist, because if you insist on it, I'm going to have to hurt you so much more."
I'm not kidding. That's the fucking argument. "Kids will be harmed by the policy we rammed through once they grow up, so do conversion therapy on them."

There's not a single crime in the history of the UK that would have been prevented by a bathroom bill. Not one
Bathroom bills aren't about safety, they're about trying to exclude LGBT people from public life. That's it

Legally defining "biological sex" to be just whatever the doctor said when you were born rather than it referring to your actual, material biological sex as it exists today is like legally defining Pi to be 3

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.
Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it.
Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago.
Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

The whole "transition is a one-time Sex Change Procedure you get from a team of doctors" trope is a lot of things but most of all it's just vastly downplaying the self determination involved in transition

This is such an important point for allies - using the term "biological" to refer to non-trans people is ceding ideological ground to conservatives. Trans people are very biological.
dear cis people. please learn the phrase "assigned sex"
biological sex is not an immutable trait, it is something that is assigned at birth, and more arbitrary than you realize.
You can change your sex, many people do

a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.
no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.
please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.
