The rights of all women - trans or not - rise and fall together. My latest piece for @glamouruk.bsky.social outlines how an attack on trans women harms us all.

qualitative data is incredibly important and incredibly informative - check out @awutich.bsky.social @robingnelson.bsky.social @zacharydubois.bsky.social et al. for the many ways qualitative data is essential in biological anthropological studies!

This is very useful…

Wonder if people will be silent as hospitals comply with that too.

Just wait until Trump uses the same mechanism he is using to attempt a national trans ban to do the same with a national abortion ban, mifepristone ban, etc.

Lots of people reaching out asking what they can do- here’s a link to a script - call your reps about these EOs.

“A group of researchers and students at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is gathered today for a data preservation marathon, scraping and downloading data related to health equity from U.S. government agency websites before they disappear.”

I’d love to connect or hear from folks teaching in red state to learn more about strategies and approaches so amplifying this message below.

A fast-growing petition for U.S. cis women to sign.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

The transphobia-addled GOP is so obsessed with their hatred of trans people they're shoehorning anti-trans measures into every bill they can. ONLY on Assigned Media, @miralazine.bsky.social reports on how a bill to help Ohio college student that was turned into a bathroom ban.
