Wrote about something I found striking during Wednesday's oral argument in US v. Skrmetti--a Supreme Court case that has huge implications for trans people's rights:

The sum total of the conservative justices' knowledge about trans people is roughly jack shit

Jesse Singal doxxed the medical records of a minor child because they were trans

He did that ON TWITTER

He should not be allowed on any social media to hurt more children

Jesse Singal DOXXED A CHILD'S MEDICAL RECORDS BECAUSE HE HATES TRANS KIDS SO MUCH.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE

Perfect.

Alright, any time someone says “trans issues…” we have to replace the word “issues” with “lives” and see if they stand by it. Ex: “Trans lives are a distraction”. Because we’re living people, NOT issues.

Yeah. And in lieu of any evidence people just fall back on hate and fear and anecdotes to support the suggestion🤦‍♀️

5/ To trans youth today: I know it feels like we’ve failed you. Like the world is hitting you over and over again. I don’t blame you for doubting that things can get better. But I promise you, this will not last forever. And I will never stop fighting. aridrennen.substack.com/p/america-is...

There’s nothing better than a happy trans girl🏳️‍⚧️❤️

This is genuinely great from Gessen if only because it takes something pretty basic about anti-trans politics (it's part of a broader reproductive regime akin to the eugenics of fascist cults) and explains it to an audience still convinced this has anything to do with fairness in women's sports

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Dear Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene & all of the other Republicans trying to keep Trans Women out of restrooms under the guise of protecting women,

We are not afraid of Trans Women & welcome them in our restrooms.

You, however, are actual threats & not welcome.

Warmest regards,
Everyone else
