I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

They're adding anti-trans legislation to their key bill for the year not only because it's guaranteed red meat for their rabid base, but also so they can use it as a bait-and-switch for Democrats when this comes to a vote.

ideally being the kind of religious that believes their holy book to be literal & real would be disqualifying from holding any sort of office with any sort of power

He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

"'From the get-go, he didn't like that I was a boy-girl' (referencing a tomboy)...TRUMP mentioned something to the effect of 'Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.'"

Censorship Does Not Keep Kids Safe KOSA is an alarming bill that would enable censorship and violate young people’s First Amendment right to freely access information. We must call on Congress to act now and protect free speech online.

Congress is taking up an alarming bill that would empower the government to decide what content is deemed dangerous to young people, encouraging censorship of content it doesn’t like.

Tell your members to support free speech and vote no on censorship.

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

AI-created art isn't eligible for copyright protection, after the Supreme Court chose not to review a lower court ruling.

In 2022 the Copyright Office said images without β€œhuman authorship,” don't qualify for copyright protection β€” this was affirmed in 2023 by a district court.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys
If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kidsβ€”or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kidsβ€”they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, β€œthere would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

Every trans woman I know has had "why not be an effeminate man?" shoved in our faces for ages and yet thus piece suggests that even once suggesting an effeminate boy might be trans is some sort of crime against humanity.

This is transphobia.

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

A screenshot of an article header from The Atlantic's "Ideas" section. The title reads "IN DEFENSE OF EFFEMINATE GAY BOYS" in large, serif capital letters. Below it, a subheader in a smaller font says, "If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded." The byline at the bottom identifies the author as Ben Appel.

Babe, wake up. The Atlantic is doing the "they're transing the gays" conspiracy theory.

This court specifically avoided bringing up challenges on bans for gender affirming care for trans youth on parental rights grounds so they can weaponize parental rights against trans youth while stripping them from the supportive parents of trans youth. It's obscene.

Insane.

The anti-trans movement wants an absolute right of parents to control their children, from the kids' religion to their gender. The state must obey the parents.

Except when the parents want to affirm their children as transgender. Then the state can do whatever the fuck it wants.

'advocacy groups' = trans peoples who's lives are made materially worse when the NYT runs more stories that demonize us and make abandoning trans rights more palatable for the average neolib reader

"Advocacy groups" is the giveaway here.

We have former NYT staff detailing the deep transphobic bent at an editorial level. We have dozens of examples of articles with scientifically unsound sourcing. We have court cases citing said articles as grounds for stripping rights.

But yeah. Demented.
