Why is it that Hilary Cass, who presents herself as a champion for science, evidence, and ethical healthcare for young people is speaking at secretive conferences and ducking any event where she'd face tough questions?
Just something we're pondering at Assigned Media. 🤔🤔🤔 […]
Hillary Cass, whose Cass Report has further damaged the ability of young trans people to access quality healthcare in the UK, is on a grand tour saying a bunch of ignorant transphobic things.

Before the Trans Agenda existed there was... The Gay Agenda!
Today on Assigned Media, journalist Mira Lazine has a look back at the history of these two peculiar phrases. Would you believe that there is, in fact, a clear line between the two and that it passes right through the most aggressive […]

Today on Assigned:
Maybe you've heard that trans people have brains more similar to cis people of their post-transition gender?
Maybe you've wondered what brain scans of trans people on hormones reveal about the ways hormones impact our brains?
WE HAVE AN ARTICLE FOR YOU!

Today on Assigned: When Good Media Outlets Go, Um, Weird?
A trio of stereotype-laden essays, culminating in tips on how to pick up trans women, is a concerning sign of the direction Autostraddle might be heading post-sale.
Alyssa Steinsiek has a beautiful, elegiac piece on a website whose […]
Today on Assigned Media (which you should please support!) we have a story by the inimitable Alyssa Steinsiek about the disgusting Kellie-Jay Keen, who says people should listen to their disgust responses to minorities.
ICK! My disgust response was activated just writing that!

Indictment for Eithan Haim has been unsealed:

Haim is a doctor who did part of his residency Texas Children's Hospital. He used his access to look up records of young trans […]
[references a mass shooting]
Mass shootings are never funny. TWIBS is primarily a humor column, but both Alyssa and Assigned want to be clear: Just because this column relates to school shooter Aidan Hale, it doesn't mean we think there's any humor in his heinous act.
There might be something […]
The Assigned Media newsletter this week will focus on Mr. Apocalypse Misgender, who's causing a str over on the old bird website.
Should you misgender people if it will SAVE THE WORLD? My definitive answer will be for subscribers only […]
The Olympics haven't protected the ability of trans and intersex athletes to compete, but when it comes to advising media outlets on correct use of pronouns and terminology, they're all over that level of performative, substance-less allyship. #trans […]
Second post of the day and I succumbed to the temptation- for the first time ever- to use "DESTROYS" in a headline.
(It's good news. There's a real good ruling out of Florida, and the judge in the case completely wrecked my least favorite argument […]
Assigned Fact Check:
A right-wing Canadian site claimed the Canadian Cancer Society apologized for using the "cervix" instead of "front hole."
The word cervix is found on 314 pages of the society's website. Front hole appears once, on an info page […]
BREAKING: Doctor who trans kids' medical records faces four felony counts.
Eithan Haim, who claims to be a victim of political persecution, maintains the records did not contain identifying information. However, an expert in US healthcare law told Assigned this doesn't appear to be the case…
NEW: Not one but TWO major US media outlets have been taken over by Brits who previously headed anti-trans culture war obsessed outlets in the US and UK.
Robert Winnett of the psychopathic Telegraph and Hugh Dougherty of disinformation-peddler NY Post will head the Washington Post and Daily Beast…

A lesbian dating app that scans faces for true womanhood with 99 percent accuracy, you say? And trans people are *checks notes* oh, huh, it says here we're... roughly 1 percent of the population?
Well! Isn't THAT interesting?
@AlyssaEveryHour gives this wacky new gender critical dating app idea…
Part of me still can't believe transition is real. I still give myself a grin and a wink in the mirror most morning. It feels like magic, that little old me I could somehow have come to look just like a cis guy.
Notice the new look of this account? Assigned Media has a proper logo at last! It was created by my younger brother, a crack graphic designer and fine arts sculptor.

The Epoch Times is under investigation for money laundering, but the site's role in spreading anti-trans misinformation has gone unmentioned in mainstream coverage of the case.
An Epoch Times link that showed up in a story for the Atlantic is a particularly clear example of the laundering process…
In his annual Pride declaration
President Joe Biden made a condemned bans on healthcare for transgender youth as antithetical to the basic American values of life, safety, and dignity.
Where did I hear about it first? Oh, just the Daily Wire.
Look, I'm not a big Biden booster, I'm particularly…
Forget any tricksy or clever questions, if I was the sort of reporter who Dr, Cass gave interviews to I'd just ask her what the Review found about the GIDS service. How many young people were being referred to endocrinology? Did she find any evidence that number was greater than it should have been?
Don't let anyone snow you that transphobia is about women's rights. It's not, it's never been, and the idea that it is is a complete smokescreen.
Transphobia and sexism are inextricably bound together. You cannot have transphobia without sexism.
In that vein, I give you an article about a sexist…
