As a reminder, the Olympics have had rules allowing #trans people to complete since 2004. A single trans woman has yet to medal.

So far my book is still available in Tennessee libraries. We’ll see if they last.

Misinformation about #trans kids is spreading like wildfire I’m a Harvard-trained psychiatrist & researcher who has spent a decade working in this space My new book Free to Be: Understanding [The Science Medicine & Politics of] Kids & Gender Identity is available now: allstora.com/products/fre...

So many legacy democrats are about to get primaried.

The essential government interest in this case is “being mean to trans people”

Reminder: the focus on #trans people is entirely from Republicans. They’ve introduced almost 1,000 bill per year about trans people and Dems have hardly introduced any at all.

More train wrecks from this administration.

Well this is about as clear as day and yet completely lost on the conservative court majority.

Today’s election results make one thing clear: Americans are rejecting divisive politics that target LGBTQ people and instead demanding leadership that focuses on the issues that matter for all Americans, including affordability, family, and freedom. www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

🚨New Study Added🚨 A new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics of 432 #trans adolescents and young adults receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy found statistically significant reductions in suicidality following treatment. open.substack.com/pub/jackturb...

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Wait… you’re telling me #trans women can compete in the NYC marathon, but a trans woman didn’t win?

Friends, which advent calendar are we doing this year?

Reminder to join us on Instagram!

Happy Sunday from Kodi!

Happy Halloween, Pamela Paul is back 👻 …and this straight white lady has a lot to say about the feelings of the gays.

In this study of 220 #trans adolescents who received gender affirming medical care, only 4% expressed any regret about treatment, and half of those continued with treatment, suggesting the benefits outweighed the downsides. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39432272

Freshly groomed Kodi loaf.

Good morning from the very serious world of pediatric psychiatry.

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

I cracked my iPhone screen the day before the case arrived 🫠

Happy fall from Kodi.

To everyone who transitioned later in life: Thank you for reminding us that life doesn’t run out of chances. You’ve shown that new beginnings can happen at any age. And that happiness can still find you, no matter when you start.

Well that NYT Amy Coney Barrett interview starts off… weird.

It just gets worse and worse.

As a reminder:

This is simultaneously horrifying and not at all surprising if you’ve spent any time on the GOP internet.

News should drop by tomorrow - another major center for trans health will no longer provide blockers or hormones for those under 19, due to funding threats from the Trump administration that would have resulted in closure.

Good morning from Kodi!

Mood.

It’s wild that people are even comparing @katieporteroc.bsky.social yelling to these egregious behaviors of people who still got elected. The NYT mess continues.

“We’re doing the studies to make the proof,” he says.

Fully endorse. I learned a lot and it has helped me immensely when caring for trans patients in the hospital.

You will be shocked to learn that I’ve had my new phone < 24 hours and have dented it.

Our universities need to stay independent of government propaganda. Congrats to #MIT.

You can read our amicus brief on conversion therapy that came up at this morning’s Supreme Court oral arguments here: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Barrett still sounds skeptical the research shows conversion therapy is harmful, but Colorado's lawyer takes the opportunity to spell out just how robust the research is and correcting the other side's claims that it doesn't speak to "voluntary" speech therapy. (Shoutout to @turban.bsky.social!)

Oral argument for Chiles v. Salazar, challenging Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for minors is set to begin Me & @turban.bsky.social talked about the implications of the case in @jamapediatrics.com jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

ACB: what is best evidence this causes harm? CO: substantial evidence since from 2009, including a shoutout to the important work by @turban.bsky.social! There is both evidence of the harm and no evidence of it being beneficial or helpful despite efforts existing for over a century

The Guardian: Lawyers trying to get the Supreme Court to overturn conversion therapy bans deceived the court about the research they cited, according to the researchers themselves. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Good morning from Kodi post-breakfast.

The Ugly Betty episode where everyone accepts Justin’s boyfriend while they dance at Hilda’s wedding 😭😭

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on whether to overturn conversion therapy bans.

Jack's book is the primer you or people you know are looking for when it comes to trans lives and gender identity. My students in my sociology of sex class learned a lot from the politics chapter I assigned from it, and it generated great class discussions.

Government-compelled speech…

👏

Good morning from this cutie who almost got us kicked out of the cafe.
