It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

A soft, small, hopeful thing.

It's ok if you don't fully understand what it means to be trans. It's ok if you get the language wrong occasionally. What matters now is that you publicly, visibly show your allyship in any way you can. They're trying to drive us out of public life and we need your support to make sure they can't.

Identification of autistic Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand: A national cross-sectional study

much as i'm not shocked, it is *unbelievable* to me universities are banning talk of ... me. myself. my existence. what the hell, folks.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

5/4 just to reiterate; the two publications I cite above have both been peer reviewed, the Cass Review has not. This is something that Aaron & Konnoth (2025) criticised in their peer-reviewed publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/...

There are numerous other peer-reviewed (& other authoritative) publications that have debunked the Cass Review, making it one of the most comprehensively discredited publications I can remember. @notrightruth.bsky.social has compiled a long list of them; 3/4

Trans kids deserve to live. Trans kids deserve to be happy. Trans kids deserve to be themselves. Trans kids deserve to be kids. Trans kids deserve to become adults. Trans kids deserve to choose. Trans kids deserve better. Trans kids deserve love. I love you, Trans kids. 🫶🏻 You deserve better. 😔

I don’t post much but I’m reaching out because I’m first-gen and on the market for Fall 26. The future here feels uncertain so I’m open to international but idk where to start. If you’ve worked abroad in autism intervention research I’d appreciate your insight #AutRes #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky
