How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Incredibly great news:
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the C.D.C. to abandon its longstanding position that vaccines do not cause autism.

This crackpot is a danger to public health. As a father of an autistic son, I find RFK, Jr.'s actions to be sickening and deranged.

1. Following EITM reporting, Michigan State Medical Society has said that anti-trans, SPLC-designated hate group Genspect has lost their CME credentials, as well as the parent organization that was supporting it.

Incredible reporting by staff writer S. Baum.

Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives.

Autism is caused by genetics + environmental triggers.

Extensive studies with millions of kids showed no connection between vaccines and autism.

Doctors vaccinate our kids because we love them and want them to live to be healthy adults.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance as on many past ones, I remember the other trans girl who came back for me when someone was trying to kill my 11 year old trans behind. I never learned her name, she died before she could tell me. She was only slightly older than me, maybe 13? I owe her my life.

To sane doctors and scientists, the CDC is now close to irrelevant or dead. I don't see how they can ever reclaim their reputation fully.

RFK Jr is holding a bloody knife over its corpse.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

These are the people I'm remembering today.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

Since people asked, my top places for trans people right now are France, Australia (parts), Canada (parts), Spain (though politics there are tenuous), Iceland, Uruguay.
It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.

Sad day for NZ trans youth.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.

This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

ALSO - SHOUTOUT FOR PARENTS OF TRANS KIDS IN THE UK!

The community is coming together to alleviate the pressure and stress being inflicted upon your children by divisive policy and bullying.

Shoutout for teachers who hold a degree and/or QTS, and think anti-trans policies are unethical...

Please comment if you would be interested in taking on some paid online tutoring work for UK trans kids who have been forced out of schooling by policy and/or bullying.

The HHS report on gender affirming care released it's updated report showing they stacked its authors with anti-trans hate-group affiliated members, several of whom aren't even doctors with any sort of clinical experience. They selected their own ideologically friendly peer reviewers.

It's a joke.

I keep thinking about the Raymond Williams line: "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing".

Hope is not easy. Despair seems obvious. But every howl of despair manifests as further malignance. Compliance with fascism is despair metastasising.
