Republicans trying to get the idea that "social, psychological, [and] behavioral" traits are inherently and inextricably tied one's "biological sex" codified into law should deeply worry everyone, trans and cis.

People are rightfully horrified about Adam being encouraged to complete suicide by chatgpt. I just wish there had been this level of outrage when all of social media a few months ago was celebrating the suicide of Charlotte Fosgate, a 17 year old trans teen.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

He blames this moral panic on “politicians in Washington trying to use this as a political pawn,” which is exactly right, but then says that transphobic parents have legitimate concerns about “fairness in sports.” That’s just not true, and Dems must stop validating this fascist campaign.

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.
Hi all—I'll be periodically live-posting today's FTC event on GAC's supposed "deceptive trade practices."
Trump's anti-trans agenda is getting creative—cracking down on (or at least intimidating) GAC providers w/ misapplied consumer protection laws. The event will be...interesting.

Necessary reading (for Dems who need to grow a spine).
The transgender “issue” is not a distraction for Democrats. It’s an opportunity to speak clearly about human rights and morality, and the path is simple: Follow the facts and the Golden Rule. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/transgende...

Surprise surprise. A week after Sarah McBride gives cover fire for throwing trans people under the bus, some Dems are privately indicating they’ll capitulate on trans youth healthcare and citing the pseudoscientific Cass Report literally drafted in consultation with hate groups.

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it.
First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

If “gender critical” people were facing so much bullying and backlash that a large percentage of them died by suicide and then people mocked them by quoting that figure all the time unprovoked I might almost consider listening to their bellyaching about how everyone is so mean to them
