“This new data confirms what we already knew: there is a trans+ healthcare crisis in the UK. But the actual numbers are stark. The system of NHS gender clinics, which is failing to give people an appointment in their entire lifetime, is limiting the number of people who can transition.”
Appalling.

9. The data out of MMCPS makes one thing unmistakably clear: this crusade is not a mass movement. It’s the obsession of a vanishingly small minority, inflated by a Republican Party that has turned resentment of diversity—and especially of LGBTQ+ people—into the centerpiece of its politics.

can you sue for excessive force against a minor in Italy?
"celebrating" that sounds traumatic to me.
Especially since I know first hand how out of line American tourists can get if simply for you not them as being superior to you in your own country.

The first large-scale Nazi book burning was on 6 May 1933, when Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin was attacked by Nazi students. It would take decades for science to recover the knowledge about trans-affirming healthcare that was destroyed that day.

One overlooked benefit of declaring preferred pronouns as a social norm is that it's not just for LGBTQ but also for people w non-Anglo names. I'm a cishet woman with a very feminine name but nobody's gonna know that if they don't know Chinese.
But the anti-LGBTQ crowd are also anti-immigrant so..

okay I understand how that "Does the dog die" site is helpful for a lot of people but do we have anything similar about whether someone relevant to a show is deemed "problematic" ?
I'm just tired of getting invested and then learning too late that there ARE valid concerns about someone's behaviour

Parents who fight against gender neutral toilets at school clearly tell some children they should not exist.
When some of those children kill themselves it is because of people like that.
