today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

The Society for Evidence Based Medicine (funded by the ADF) spends millions each year promulgating anti-trans pseudoscience with a secret goal: policies that move the ball forward for Christian nationalist principles.

Unfortunately, these goals rob some of the most vulnerable kids of survival 6/6

These same studies were also referred to by Alito during Skrmetti oral arguments, showing that pseudoscience’s reach extends beyond state legislatures and shapes court opinions w/ huge consequences for kids and their families 5/6

They also consistently refer to the UK’s Cass Review as a reason to strip transgender youth and their family of their rights.

The Cass Review has been roundly critiqued for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that not a single PI provides gender-affirming care 4/6

For example, proponents of attacks on transgender children frequently cite a 2011 Swedish study, which they claim shows that gender-affirming care increases suicide rates.

They make this claim over and over again DESPITE the study authors clarifying that these WEREN'T their findings 3/6

One of the most interesting and consistent findings was that US lawmakers leaned heavily on European studies to justify the proposed prohibitions on kids accessing healthcare 2/6
