The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

The executive director of Fair Wisconsin, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, tells me she's heard from multiple families whose children's gender-affirming care was reinstated after my reporting.
BREAKING: After we published our story, the teen's mom received a call from the Wisconsin clinic rescheduling her appointment. Gathering more details ASAP. Still nothing public from the hospital. wisconsinwatch.org/2025/02/wisc...

Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

again, how is this distinct from an active effort to resegregate the workforce and specifically keep nonwhites and disabled people out of high status jobs?

the administration’s position is that it is a criminal violation of the law, and unconstitutional (presumably anti-white) discrimination for a private company to voluntarily seek to have a more diverse workforce.

I find myself outraged at what is happening to trans folk in the US, and even more outraged at how little the mainstream media is covering.
“There’s a common misconception pervading the American press that trans reporters are simply too biased to fairly cover trans issues, which means I am one of the few trans reporters who is able to actually cover national trans issues for mainstream press outlets.”

The phrase fully shuts down any conversation or analysis of a topic. Even if you think something is a distraction you can just scroll by and remind yourself that everyone has their own things they prioritize.
I personally am glad that people are choosing to engage rather then ignore.

I wince at people calling every single thing a distraction. Even if it is a distraction it’s still
1) a thing that is actually happening
2) a thing that is hurting people
3) a thing that also needs to be fought and illuminated
“It’s just a distraction”feels so dismissive.

Re: "distractions":
Most people I know are capable of paying attention to more than one thing at a time.
You're trying to decide for other people what they should or shouldn't focus on.
One person's distraction may be another person's health or safety.

This Gaza war didn’t come out of nowhere
Everyone forgot about the Palestinians — conditions have been set for two decades, and Biden’s focus on Israel-Saudi talks may have lit a match.
