It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

so, this is that. KOSA, SCREEN, internet obscenity definition act—whatever you call it—this is where trans people are declared inherently obscene.
can they do that? trans troops were just kicked out of the armed forces for being inherently deceitful & dishonorable, so probably! unless people fight.

![Stop Project 2025 Comic with the following speech bubbles:
THAT MEANS THAT ANY TRANS PERSON TALKING ABOUT THEIR TRANSITION COULD BE IMPRISONED. EVERY STATEMENT ABOUT OUR LIVES, A POTENTIAL OFFENSE.
HELL, THE STORY YOU'RE READING RIGHT NOW WOULD QUALIFY.
NEXT. "RESCIND REGULATIONS PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF L...J GENDER IDENTITY, TRANSGENDER STATUS, AND SEX CHARACTERISTICS." PAGE 584. PAIRED WITH PAGE 495, "A GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY SPECIFYING THAT IT WILL NOT ENFORCE ANY PROHIBITION ON L...] GENDER IDENTITY DISCRIMINATION" IT PAINTS A PICTURE. DISCRIMINATION TOWARDS TRANS PEOPLE AT PLACES LIKE THEIR JOBS WILL BE FULLY LEGAL, LEAVING US OPEN TO UNMITIGATED HARASSMENT AND HATE.
PAGE 485. "WITHDRAW ALL GUIDANCE ENCOURAGING RYAN WHITE HIV/AIDS PROGRAM SERVICE PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE CONTROVERSIAL 'GENDER TRANSITION' PROCEDURES OR 'GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE'." PAGE 462. "FUND STUDIES INTO THE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CROSS-SEX INTERVENTIONS, INCLUDING 'AFFIRMATION,' PUBERTY BLOCKERS, CROSS-SEX HORMONES AND SURGERIES." PAGE... TAKE YOUR PICK. THERE'S A DOZEN MORE.
BY CUTTING FEDERAL FUNDING FROM ANY MEDICAL FACILITY THAT OFFERS TRANS HEALTHCARE, AND STANDING AGAINST IT AS OFFICIAL POLICY...
HORMONES AND GENDER CARE WILL BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE ALREADY ON THEM. IT'LL WREAK HAVOC.
OUR MENTAL HEALTH. OUR BODIES. DAMAGE THAT WILL RUIN LIVES. AND FOR TRANS FOLKS WHO CAN NO LONGER PRODUCE A SAFE LEVEL OF HORMONES...
IT COULD KILL THEM.

The sharpest piece of games industry analysis this year and it fits in a skeet
This didn't happen by random chance of the market or some neutral development of technology. The game industry, like many industries, figured out how to outsource all the risks and costs of production onto the aspirational while capturing their own cut as rent. Game devs are uber drivers now.

The anti vax playbook was indistinguishable from the playbook they ran on trans youth healthcare and I'm never going to forget those who carried water for the latter and acted surprised when the former gaoned control of the country.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day
Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

Related to the article linked in the original post, the petitions that Bobby downplays were legitimate, and I know this because (I can say this without fear for my job now that I've been laid off) I fucking wrote several of them and collected signatures on them. They're still on my Google drive.

Those of us who were organizing Acti/Blizz had nothing to do with the lawsuits other than encouraging people who had been harmed to get their payout. The lawsuits happened long before the unionization campaign really took off. Bobby Kotick is a lying sack of shit. 1/2
A woman literally died as a result of the harassment and bullying she faced at Activision Blizzard under Kotick. What about her? Was she fake as well? Did the unions have her killed? You fucking dipshit.
Bobby Kotick says Activision Blizzard "fake lawsuits" were simply a union "plan" to drive up membership

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless.
They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc
It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

Quite frankly if you are white and a natural born citizen you should make space for immigrants by refusing to even entertain questions about citizenship. Tell em to subpoena you if they want to know.
