Treatment for trans kids cannot wait for adulthood. Adolescent changes in the body are permanent and irreversible. The pain of dysmorphia kills. No medical professional treats kids casually, no family seeks treatment casually. Treatment is safe, effective and is a conservative course of action.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I’m dead serious about this: between now and the commencement of the next congress, if you’ve got insurance or the spare cash, you and your family should be turning yourself into human pincushions: COVID, flu, TDAP, MMR, Polio, mpox, pneumonia. CVS has walk-in appointments for damn near everything.

Guys, I'm noticing a bit too much "Trump is the head of the terrifying and unstoppable fascist river of blood" and a little too little "Trump is a laughable freak on the verge of getting stomped into the dirt who you could easily convince Batman is real"
Friendly neighborhood geneticist here again! As someone who’s run literally THOUSANDS of human genetic samples, let me tell you one more time - there’s far more variability around XX or XY than most people will ever know. For most people, it never matters. Sex != gender, and karyotype != phenotype.

If you wish you had a succinct, mainstream explanation of the horrors of Trump's Project 2025 you could send to your friends and relatives, People magazine has provided one. Please spread this link. No matter how bad you think it is, it's worse. people.com/what-is-proj...
If Trump wins this election, we will all have been made to think about him on a daily basis for at least 13 years and maybe more after that. THIS is the Bad Place.

When Substack tanks — and I think its right-wing, Musk-flavored, tech-bro-brained management indicates that it will — it will be the Twitter implosion all over again, plus an order of magnitude.
I also like when someone replaced TERF, which suggests that transphobia is part of feminism, with Feminist Appropriating Radical Transphobe, or F.A.R.T for short.
