The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.

Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.
Screenshot of a tweet from Brian Allen on X.com. It discusses JD Vance claiming settlers in the New World found “widespread child sacrifice” and that “Christian civilization ended the practice.” The tweet explains historians say this is fabricated and calls it racist revisionism. Below is an image of JD Vance speaking at a Turning Point USA event, standing at a podium with a slide behind him showing "Oxford, MS" and “University of Mississippi.”

...since today's TDoR, I'm not gonna do my usual thread of excerpts just yet. but this passage from the intro provides a taste. pls share to raise awareness of all the studies debunking "social contagion/ROGD" as well as how inane Colin Wright's WSJ op-ed was:
juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-...
screenshot from linked to essay that reads: For those interested, I have chronicled debates about the Kaufmann report in the October 10, 2025 entry of my recently updated Origins of “Social Contagion” & “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” timeline, but I will not be discussing them further here. From my perspective, the most pertinent issue is not whether the number of young people who identify as trans or LGBTQ+ happens to be rising (as the Williams Institute and Gallup, respectively, recently reported) or falling (as Kaufmann claims), but rather that anti-trans activists will inevitably shoehorn any statistics (both increases or decreases!) into their “social contagion” narrative. The rest of this essay will be organized into three sections. First, I will discuss the history of the “transgender social contagion” narrative: who invented it, what purpose it serves, and why it’s nothing more than wild speculation. Second, with that necessary context in tow, I will highlight the numerous flaws in Colin Wright’s WSJ op-ed and revisit the popular “left-handedness” analogy, which he misrepresents in his piece. Third, I will end with a list of over a dozen studies that contradict the “social contagion”/“rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis.

Ich erinnere mich bewusst, dass diese Form von ausbeuterischer "Aufmerksamkeit" so mit 12 oder 13 anfing. Wenn ich jetzt sehe, was für Kommentare so auf TikTok unter den Videos von Mädchen geposted werden, hat sich das nicht wirklich verändert.

Und Wecker ist nicht die absolute Ausnahme. Es ist keine Seltenheit, dass Mädchen schon im jungen Teenager-Alter von Männern sexualisiert, kommentiert und angesprochen werden. Es muss überall sofort benannt, verurteilt werden – und nicht länger geduldet.

Precht insinuiert hier das Bild einer "ursprünglich proletarischen Linken" mit einem "derben und martialischen Jargon" als Gegenstück zur heutigen "akademischen" Linken. Polarisierung, Vereinfachung, historisch kontrafaktisch. Schauen wir in die Arbeiter*innengeschichte. Los geht's 1/
und heftig sanktioniert. Wer »Putzfrau« statt »Reinigungs-kraft« sagt, »Kindergärtnerin« statt »Erzieherin«, disqualifiziert sich allein durch einen als veraltet wahrgenommenen Sprachgebrauch und füllt somit aus der Normung. Gerade die Linke hat ihre Sprache auf das Äußerste sensibilisiert und damit zugleich auch die oft zitierte »gesellschaftliche Mitte« besetzt. Man könnte eine ganze Abhandlung dazu schreiben, wie der Teestubenjargon der Siebziger- und Achtzigerjahre seinen Siegeszug in die Normierung der Alltagssprache und der Sprechakte angetreten hat. Dass Schwäche stark ist, dass man in Konflikten nicht laut werden darf, dass es darum geht, Ich-Botschaften zu schicken, statt zu verallgemeinern - der Geist der Sozialarbeiterepoche, der oft so unschuldig daherkommt, ist eine subtile Form der Machtausübung. Wer die Deutungshoheit darüber gewinnt, wie man mit- einander sprechen darf, bestimmt gleichzeitig maßgeblich die Inhalte. Diese Änderung ist weit mehr als nur eine der Sprache und des Stils. Die ursprünglich proletarische Linke hatte einen oft derben und martialischen Jargon. Sie wendete sich an die Arbeiterschaft, die Ausgebeuteten und Unterdrückten. Die neue Linke dagegen wendet sich an die akademisch gebildeten Schichten und kultiviert eine sorg- same Sprache, die alle Nicht-Sorgsamen ausschließt und oft abqualifiziert. Dass die neue Linke damit so viel ge- sellschaftlichen Raum besetzen konnte, darf nicht überra- schen. Denn eine Linke, die nicht mehr den Kapitalismus überwinden will, sondern den kulturellen Kapitalismus

"biological pronouns" is an insane phrase
chrisgeidner.bsky.social Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 28d
BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts.

Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.
OPINION MURPHY, Circuit Judge. An Ohio public school district bars its students from referring to transgender and nonbinary classmates using the pronouns that match their biological sex if the classmates prefer to go by different pronouns. The plaintiff in this case has parent and student members who believe that a person's sex is immutable. The members want to express this view by using biological pronouns. And they believe that they would convey a falsehood —that a person's gender is fluid—if they use preferred pronouns. So the plaintiff challenged the school district's speech ban on behalf of its members under the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause. This case about pronouns pits two important interests against each other. On the one hand, the school district has prohibited speech (biological pronouns) that expresses a message on a matter of pressing public concern. And because the district requires other speech (preferred pronouns) that expresses a competing view, it has discriminated based on its students' viewpoints. Its approach thus raises serious free-speech concerns. On the other hand, the school district rightly responds that it has a duty to protect all students- including transgender and nonbinary students— from bullying and harassment. And this protection, while necessarily restricting speech, does not violate the Free Speech Clause. So which of these competing concerns should prevail in this case? The Supreme Court's cases provide a clear answer. A school district may not restrict personal speech on matters of public concern unless the speech would "materially and substantially disrupt" school activities or infringe the legal "rights of others" in the school community. Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Cmty. Sch. Dist., 393 U.S. 503, 513 (1969). In this case's current posture, the school district has fallen far short of meeting this demanding standard. It introduced no evidence that the use of biological pronouns would disrupt school functions or qualify as harassment under Ohio law. Our society continues to debate whether biological pronouns are appropriate or offensive just as it continues to debate many other issues surrounding transgender rights. The school district may not skew this debate by forcing one side to change the way it conveys its message or by compelling it to express a different view. We thus reverse and remand Case: 23-3630 Document: 253-2 Filed: 11/06/2025 Page: 4 No. 23-3630 Defending Educ. v. Olentangy Loc. Sch. Dist. Bd. of Educ., et al. Page 4 for the entry of an appropriately tailored preliminary injunction barring the district from punishing students for the commonplace use of biological pronouns. Yet nothing we say here forecloses the district from enforcing its anti-harassment policies against the abuse of transgender students just as it enforces those policies against the abuse of all other students.

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

Bärbel Bas: "Wer mitmacht, der hat überhaupt nichts zu befürchten."

Nichts außer Druck & Existenzangst:
Hab mich damals im tiefsten Winter aus dem Wochenbett mit meinem Neugeborenen ins Jobcenter geschleppt, weil mein per Post gesendeter Umschlag mit Unterlagen angeblich nicht angekommen ist, und mir die Streichung aller meiner Gelder angedroht wurde. Ausserdem wurde mir gesagt, dass ich eine Woche Zeit habe, um den Elterngeldbescheid einzureichen (zeige mir den Menschen, der eine Woche nach Geburt den Bescheid in den Händen hält...) und es gibt ja keine Möglichkeit, da direkt mit jemandem zu telefonieren, der deine Papiere bearbeitet. Es war so ein Psychoterror. Am Ende bekommt man einen Bescheid, auf dem ein Betrag steht, der ca 20€ kleiner ist als beim letzten Mal, hat keine Ahnung warum, und man wehrt sich nicht mehr, weil man Angst hat, dass dann erst mal wieder alles gestrichen wird. Derweil muss man etliche Rückbuchungsgebühren bezahlen, weil das Geld so spät kam, dass Einzugsverfahren geplatzt sind, und das zahlt man natürlich selber und nicht die Mitarbeiter in der Leistungsstelle.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?
