You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Mary Ziegler points out that no Republicans voted against the failed South Carolina bill that would have jailed women for up to 30 years for abortion. But the point of such bills is that they incrementally mainstream the most extreme anti-abortion positions.
