BREAKING
On the day the UK government announces a permanent puberty blocker ban I learn:
ALICE’S DATA WAS NOT INCLUDED in data sent to Appleby to assess for his rushed DHSC report, that dismissed whistleblower claims of increased suicides in trans youth since Bell.
The report is a proven sham.

The discourse around Jesse Singal is interesting. To many unfamiliar, I suspect it looks like well-intentioned, but censorious prone, activists trying to shut down liberal skeptics.
The objection is much more the well-documented accusations of serial harassment of trans women who challenge him.

...I'm sure he will make this a "free speech" or "civil discourse" issue, but Jesse has a long history of lying about & harassing ppl (especially trans women) online & sometimes in real life – here's but a few examples (from: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-j...)

As Bluesky takes off, it’s important to remember how much of the culture was shaped by the early trans/queer cluster. I do worry that could get buried in the cultural narratives around the current phase of growth and the platform’s better utility for journalism.
