To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Every trans person, family member or ally who has spoken to the nyt has been exploited and abused. Every expert who has spoken to the nyt has seen their words twisted and misrepresented.

Exactly. A lot of so-called Dem guys are doing this. Big mouths, big platforms, big feelings and still too lazy to look things up or talk to real trans people and families. Joining the “just asking questions” crowd.
It demonstrates, frankly, a serious lack of empathy and character.

you are SUPPOSED to signal virtue. The actual argument, such as it exists, is that people are signaling virtue while not actually being virtuous. But you are supposed to signal virtue and BE VIRTUOUS.
Really was one of the dumbest and most harmful things possible for “virtue signaling” to become some kind of epithet. Sending externally visible signals that you are engaging in pro-social behavior is normal, natural, and good, it’s how society works. Other people can’t read your fucking mind.

"I can't believe The New York Times did this" Trans kids? Claudine Gay? Gaza? At some point we have to stop being surprised. The right sees the Times as a vehicle for laundering its conspiracy theories and injecting it into elite America and the Times is very happy to oblige them.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

"The only logical consistency that matters is that the trans person loses."
That's basically the only logical consistency of the global transphobic project. It could essentially be their motto.

In my years of working with these kids, so often I have been the only adult who listens to them and helps them hold on to hope for transition in adulthood. What I've seen is miles beyond heartbreaking. I have no words for the evil of ghouls who write and publish garbage like this.

Talking about it as if it's a game that someone took a risky gamble on rather than people desperately trying to keep control of their own bodies and lives in the face of fascism is disgusting tbh
This is like the third story put out by the New York Times since Skrmetti rubbing transgender people's faces in it.
The paper got the ruling it asked for.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

it cannot simultaneously be true that media outlets like the Times and the Post are the Fourth Estate, playing a vital Democratic function, and also that what occurs on its pages is harmless intellectual inquiry

Dear Trans Youth, Families, and Community,
Now that the initial shock and horror have passed and my hot, angry tears have dried, let’s talk.
Today’s Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, deciding in favor of Tennessee’s ban on gender‑affirming care for youth, is a horrible setback.

Actually it’s a central part of fascism to attack and marginalize genderqueerness. Pretending it’s somehow peripheral to the right’s aims is just your excuse to do nothing about it, and shows you either don’t understand the enemy or do not give a shit about stopping them.

"[The Court] authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them. Because there is no constitutional justification for that result, I dissent."

The federal government imposing a stop work order on Trevor project for the national 988 suicide hotline on the same day that the Supreme Court greenlit a ban on care despite the risk of suicide sends a clear message:

In the linked essay, I mention Nancy Mace's standard TERF question, asked most recently to Tim Walz: "What is a woman?"
My answer is simple. A woman is not a *what.* A woman is a *who.*
I want to expand a bit from the essay on what I think this matters.
