I was bullied a lot as a kid (ironically, the bullies were unintentionally *correct* about my identity).
To this day, I have a visceral reaction to any description or depiction of bullying, along with intrusive thoughts about the punishment such bullies deserve.
This story has me *burning*.

The Trump administration is trying to murder trans children.
Any organisation that bows to their demands is complicit in those murders.
May the blood never wash off your hands.

1. This morning, a flurry of movement in federal rulemaking signals Trump's intent to ban transgender youth care nationwide.
If these rules go into effect, the administration may be successful in doing so.

This is why conservatives can’t be trusted with anything. Their bigotry is more important to them than the welfare of their people.

Mr Nicholls used his ministerial powers to ban public doctors from prescribing the medication to adolescents, effective immediately."

For the new MacOS Tahoe, Apple bumped the version number from 15 to 26
The underlying Darwin kernel, however, is version 25
Both numbers are arbitrary and could have been either 25 or 26
This annoys me despite being of zero importance to anyone

Bigotry: Where the stats are made up and the facts don’t matter.
1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.
Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."
Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Every time I see a reference to Bari Weiss, my brain initially thinks of the legendary singer Barry White, then is thoroughly disappointed to realise we’re talking about *this* talentless clown again.
NEW from me:
Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications.

Republicans have set things up so that either they get to exterminate us, or they get to blame us for the shutdown, ensuring that they get to exterminate us next time.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.
His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.
