Not sure which is funnier: inaugural "intellectual dark web" member Bari Weiss now running CBS News, or inaugural "intellectual dark web" member & anti-trans activist Alice Dreger now editing the "Medical Evidence Project" at Center for Scientific Integrity, publishers of @retractionwatch.com.

This TDOR, I'm honoring Raven Syed, whose story I learned this year. Raven was a promising young journalist at Rider University. Raven's parent Elvira twisted Raven's life and work into an anti-trans narrative at Trump's 2025 FTC summit. I wish you were still here to help us, Raven. Rest in power.

These HHS anti-trans memes are remarkable. “Sex-rejecting procedures!”

I love finding out after the fact that my research continues to jam up anti-trans philosophers like Alex Byrne and Moti Gorin. From 'The War on Science" edited by anti-trans physicist Lawrence Krauss. www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...

Grokipedia completely fabricated an essay titled "The Cissy" by J. Michael Bailey, giving it its own article. On brand, since Bailey also fabricated the "Danny Ryan" case report of a "cured" transgender child in the 2003 book 'The Man Who Would Be Queen.' grokipedia.com/page/The_Cis...

By 2009, “transsexual” became more of a niche term because of its association with disease models. Most of the community stopped using it in public-facing communication. I see it reclaimed as an ironic/nostalgic term sometimes, but most unironic use is by conservative transmedicalists.

Here's how SEGM's embedded reporter Jesse Singal spins data. Of 317 children who socially transitioned, 81.6% had stable identities. ~2.5% reverted to their birth-assigned gender, in line with other studies. ~16% more changed identities, often from trans to nonbinary. Singal's FUD version of things:

Another poster near the SEGM conference: "Rapid Onset Gibberish Diarrhea? ROGD isn't a diagnosis. It's a dogwhistle. Trans healthcare saves lives. Against transphobic misinformation in psychology, psychotherapy and medicine." At right, the trans antifascist symbol.

Spotted near the SEGM conference: "Transfeinder aus de stadt jagen! [Chase trans enemies out of the city!] Trans healthcare saves lives. Against transphobic misinformation in psychology, psychotherapy and medicine." Background is a person waving a flag, and at right, the trans antifascist symbol.

SEGM didn’t announce their venue until shortly before starting. I was dismayed to learn Klaus Reinhardt of Bundesärztekammer (BÄK) [German Medical Association] addressed the SEGM audience in the opening session. Grifters seek to establish their credibility at the expense of yours. Ask Gordon Guyatt!

"Suzanna Diaz," a key figure in anti-trans group Parents of ROGD Kids, is one of several aliases of Monica Hegmann. Hegmann co-authored a retracted paper on "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" with anti-trans psychologist J. Michael Bailey. www.transgendermap.com/people/suzan...

Anti-trans activist Benjamin Ryan is now stealing images from my site.
This is as impressively dumb as when Jesse Singal claimed I was funded by The Emerson Collective (they in fact pay Singal via their ownership of The Atlantic).
Cis mediocrity on full display with these two “journalists.”

20 years ago today, Calpernia Addams and I produced and performed in the first all-transgender cast of The Vagina Monologues. We raised a bunch of money for Los Angeles anti-violence organization Peace Over Violence and the National LGBTQ Task Force in addition to playwright Eve Ensler’s VDay.

The US National Park Service just memory holed their document covering 2009 transgender protests at The American Psychiatric Association over "gender identity disorder" and the appointment of Ray Blanchard and Kenneth Zucker to the DSM-5 revision committee.

Congrats to all involved for the Sundance premiere of ‘Heightened Scrutiny,’ chronicling how anti-trans media led to the Skrmetti Supreme Court case argued by ACLU’s Chase Strangio.

Interesting. My post about Jesse Singal was instantly liked by an account called “KF” using the KiwiFarms logo with the description “total troon death.”A separate similar account had liked an earlier post, but I didn’t screencap it. Bluesky needs to look into this Singal/Kiwi Farms troll nexus.
