My elderly mom is moving and I've been doing a lot of "pretending to be her" while chatting online with various services that have to be transferred. Harkens me back to my teen years when I used to sign her name on excuse notes for school absences. 😆

I'm fascinated by the Court's insistence on referencing what's going on with trans rights in Europe considering AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.
Like they won't look to what Europe has done with guns, but when it comes to attacking trans kids, yeah let's look at Terfshire and what JKR is advocating. Urgh.

The sinister effectiveness of the “Think about detransitioners*” argument is that it implicitly gives cis people gender dysphoria-like feelings, which make them uncomfortable, which they then use to punish people who experience those feelings with far more frequency.

My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today.
If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

Alberta just passed Canada’s most draconian pieces of anti-trans legislation yet.
This includes a GAC ban for trans youth, a forced outing “parental rights” law, and a sports ban.
On an Erin Reed scale, it makes Alberta the first Canadian province to have “worst anti-trans laws”.
