New here so thought I'd make an intro in case anyone sees this. My name is Raine and I'm a queer transfemme socialist. I love the Owl House, Amphibia, Moon Girl, Transformers, Avatar, She-Ra, DCAU, K-Pop, T-Pop, P-Pop, and retro video games!

We have young people in the United States who have now survived multiple school shootings in their very brief lifetime.
This goes beyond even violence as merely a pattern. It is now the norm.

Few things have made me feel as nihilistic as the way genocide in Sudan has been allowed to unfold with minimal comment from anyone outside the Sudanese diaspora community
"The massacres in El Fasher are among the most predicted slaughters in the history of atrocities. Yet no one, from world leaders to the United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, has made it a sufficient focus."

Hi, this is a time sensitive query: tomorrow was made a Federal holiday by executive order. I'm trying to figure out if immigration court hearings are in session at 26 Federal Plaza and can't get clear information. Please help.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.
Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.

I think the four pieces I edited by incarcerated queer journalist B Speaks may be the thing I'm proudest of this year. Speaks is an incredible writer, with an ability to take you into the world of the GA prison, and its trans and queer inmates, that takes my breath away.
In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.
This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

In fact, according to a Reuters review of insurance data, about 15 percent of youth who receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria receive a medical intervention like puberty blockers or cross sex hormones.
15 percent get treated, 85 percent are diagnosed with no medical steps taken.

...so 20 percent having an NB identity by the end of the study does not mean 20 percent mistaken medical transitions, or even 5 percent mistaken medical transitions.
They're falsely implying every child who espouses a trans identity and is affirmed is given medical interventions, which isn't true.
