norway required sterilization until 2016. the only reason it was removed was because we were forced by the european court of human rights. the approach to trans health care in the public system hasn't meaningfully changed since the 1970s

LRT: not enough people know that the Nordic countries have traditionally been really, really bad for trans people. IIRC Sweden still required sterilisation *and* the destruction of any frozen eggs/sperm before trans people could legally change gender/sex up to 2012. Direct continuation of eugenics.

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?
This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

Imagine believing your child was “killed” just because they don’t identify with the sex they were born with.

No pile on, no "far left thuggery" no cancelling. But this. This is unfortunately what Garron left himself open to when he published that video. The left didn't "cancel" Garron, but they recognised exactly what would happen in the wake of his words. And they were correct.

He wasn't "silenced" - he was actually speaking to 1.7 million followers, and he (or his management) made the decision to delete the accounts, not Twitter or Facebook or "the gubbermint".
Bullying or attacking Garron personally is not acceptable, but criticising what someone says is not "bullying".

Seeing thousands of federal workers being fired without cause in the U.S. & wondering what on earth their unions are doing? Puzzled why there is not a ballot for strike action? Labour protections there are weakened to the point where it’s a *felony* for a federal employee to engage in strike action.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
