This was SB99 from 2023. I spoke against this bill on 3 different occasions on the house floor, including the "blood on your hands" speech.
I am glad this bill has been permanently defeated. And that Montana's constitution continues to protect trans people from government overreach and animus.

99% of the time, the people who end up getting barged in on by police and security guards with transgender bathroom bans are cisgender lesbian women.
Bathroom bans don't work because you can't tell whose trans by looks alone.
Anyway. Many such cases.

It was a long week, but today ended with two voting rights victories in Pennsylvania and Trump's executive order targeting my old law firm being permanently blocked by a federal judge in DC.
My advice: stay hopeful, stay strong, stay informed.

Remember when the anti-trans folks got accused Joanna Olson-Kennedy of not publishing a misleading null result on her trans dataset (even though she published 27 times!) and accused her of hiding stuff?
Now Trump is ACTIVELY suppressing research and doing their own purposefully manipulated studies.

the growing opposition to nsfw in art and writing communities is not only an uncomfortable bellweather for the social climate, but also personally isolating. excising nudity, humanity, desire from art is antithetical to art making. it prioritizes marketability over the marginalized.

This is functionally what the Cass Review was in the UK and lots of people in prestige media swallowed it whole while accusing trans people ourselves of "politicizing science" by pointing that out
NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning.
This will create “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist”, researcher Harry Barbee says.

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.
State Department spox Tammy Bruce just blatantly lies and says that students are getting visas revoked for "illegal activity" (Rumeysa Ozturk was not charged with a crime)

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.
This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.
