It wasn't a trans person in the military who ineptly dropped a Signal chat about an imminent US strike on Yemen to a journalist at The Atlantic. It wasn't a woman purged from the leadership ranks. It wasn't a black hero whose legacy was erased and replaced with "DEI medal".

This is all theirs
Reminder: the publicly stated reason that Hegseth, Vance et al. - the people who accidentally texted secret operational strike-package details to the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic - oppose DEI at the DOD is because they claim that it might lead to incompetent people holding positions of authority.

very likely that they’re about to find a constitutional right to forced conversion therapy
BREAKING: The Supreme Court takes up a case challenging Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors, after having previously turned down many other similar challenges.

The law, which protects against efforts to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity, was upheld below.

Trump just distills the 4+ decades of the conservative legal movement, with all its theory building and so-called scholarship, down to its core essence: a corrupt power grab.
“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

Littlejohn claims that her child's school transitioned them without parental permission. Bullshit.

Here is the truth 👇

In emails with the school, Littlejohn stated, "Whatever you think is best or [redacted] can handle it herself," and "I’m going to let her take the lead on this."

Not sure why Trump is bothering to address Congress. His theory of governance is he can do what he wants and does not need Congress’ approval or consent.

I've posted before about how if you were to keep pointing out how much of this stuff is coordinated between journalists on their little whatsapp groups you come off as a conspiracy nut, but the exact same non-newsworthy stories interviewing the same people (but NEVER trans people) keep turning up
In case you think the attacks on trans people are not co-ordinated, they averaged 3.5 anti-trans articles every day for the whole of LGBTQ+ History Month. Didn't miss a single day. Today, the 4th day of March, is the 2nd this month with no articles.

“Democracy, whatever that means, is exhausted”
In case anyone thinks Musk/DOGE are just crazy, inept douchebags, @gilduran.com lays it out on the @majorityreport.bsky.social.

This is a tech elite plot to dismantle the United States, and it's something they've been talking about publicly for years.

Yes, really.

Unfortunately all the friends that saw this presentation remain cisgender, almost as if it’s not possible make people trans who aren’t actually trans
Today, a group of my friends are doing a presentation night where we all pick a topic to talk about for ten minutes.

I have decided to spread the trans agenda.

@russellsilva.bsky.social accurately notes that they're using people who never transitioned to portray affirming care as harmful, when it's actually the story of guardrails working.

But there's more, so let's do what BSky does best & have a long rant about a complex topic.

6/x: Throughout the 80s, 90s, and 00s, Exodus co-produced "Love Won Out" conferences, advertised in newspapers, and encouraged local TV producers to sit with members for interviews (among other tactics) all to promote the message that being queer is neither real nor safe, and they could cure you.

7/x: But they also had a side hustle, which kept the money rolling in. This grift was for prominent members who could tell stories of seedy, self-destructive choices. The more threatening and harmful they could make queer life sound, the more they earned.

25/x: Because that's how this works. Ex gay groups are supported only so long as they are useful to the lying bigots.

What we're getting today is not "ex gay" groups and stories, but "ex trans" groups and stories - the so-called "detransitioners".

26/x: Detransitioners are still useful and thus will be quoted in media and supported with BigotBux specifically because there is no right to be trans or to access trans health care. There's still room for the bigots to hope that they can punish trans ppl using the law.

29/x: A grand total of ZERO interviews with detransitioners should be allowed to be published without overwhelming pushback articulating that we had "ex gay" success stories that lasted for years before they sucked each other off after support group for the last time and decided to leave.
