This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth.

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.
But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

the meme that it's environmentalists blocking clean energy is an reality-spinning lie roughly on par with the idea that gas is a climate solution, in just how obscenely wrong it is, but how confidently it's stated, and how widely it's believed by dumb-smart-guys
Here’s an another example of what I posted about this morning.
Did Spanish environmentalists have an iron grip on power from 2012-18, before being rounded up and sent to the Canary Islands so solar PV could flourish?
[No, a right-wing govt effectively banned solar power.]

I often think back to a survey once posted on twitter that asked which would prove most damaging - climate change and biodiversity loss, endless war (or nuclear war), or fragile male egos. The last of these was massively underestimated - not least, as one of the factors driving the others
