Apple's new notification summarization the other day gave me a real scare for @taylorlorenz.bsky.social (of course, her actual topic should still scare and anger us!).

This. Exactly.
Seeing a lot of discourse around trans meds again.

I don't want anything to do with them.

If anyone is trying to gatekeep transness, you aren't welcome in any community I am a part of.

There is no magical threshold of "trans enough".

Hey y'all! I'm participating in this livestream fundraiser tomorrow to help Jennifer Harris Dault and her family relocate to Europe to protect their trans kid. Tune in from 3:30-4 PT/6:30-7 ET for my conversation with @celestefinally.bsky.social! And check out all the other great guests!
Alright y'all - this starts in less than 24 hours! When we say "protect trans kids", this is a super practical way to do it - helping a trans kid escape the US will change her life. Plus look at all the amazing people joining! Come hang out and consider helping if you can! Reshares are helpful, too!

I've got one episode left in a rewatch of Ted Lasso (Seasons 1-3) and on this rewatch, I am *loving* season 3, which I originally had mixed feelings about. The negatives aren't around as long as I thought, and there's a *lot* of highlights (Sam, Colin/Trent/Issac, Nate, Keeley/Roy/Jamie, etc).

When you'd rather have a dead kid than a queer one, allowing conversion therapy practices makes total sense. They don't want to deal with a living queer kid; they want to mourn the imaginary one they don't have.

So SCOTUS apparently is going to say a state can ban care that is recommended by every major medical organization (gender-affirming care), but can't ban care that is condemned by every major medical organization (conversion therapy).

They're legally mandating/protecting medical malpractice.

who could forget when TFP published a totally dishonest hatchet job on a youth gender clinic from a bilious transphobe that (again) turned out to be bullshit, and she refused to take that down too prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it
perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

ICYMI - ever wonder why the infamous "Rapid-onset gender dysphoria" study is not worth taking seriously? Or why "but kids should work on their mental health first" is an awful way to treat kids with gender dysphoria?

I wrote about it (and more) here!

Where are all the evangelical think pieces calling him out for promoting "works-based salvation"? Or are the evangelicals going to follow their new pastor-in-chief towards new doctrines?

You should absolutely read this if you are someone who knows about Preston Sprinkle. But even if you aren't, this is one of the best and most thorough write ups of what is wrong with Littman's ROGD study and of how it has been used in bad faith by anti-trans people.
Alright y'all, part 10C (yes, really) of @billieiswriting.bsky.social and I's series on Preston Sprinkle's book "Embodied" is out now over on Substack. This one gets into Lisa Littman and her study and the correcttion, and how Sprinkle talks about all of it.

Just finished Matt Smith era of Doctor Who - really enjoyed it, thought took me a while to get through. Loved Amy Pond throughout, and now Clara. Highlights include the Van Gogh episode and the whole thing with the Silence, as well as the special, "The Day of the Doctor". Onward to Capaldi!

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
