Can you get a strap-on on DoorDash?

saying in 2022 that researchers were discouraged from studying detransitioners is a ridiculous claim

The Atlantic is fishing around to write a story about the reaction to the Argument poll. You can be sure that the framing will be "unreasonable trans activists can't handle harsh truths of polling and try to shut down debate which is why they lost public opinion in the first place."

1. Mayor Mamdani promised to hold hospitals accountable that capitulate to Trump. He promised funding to trans youth care in the city. There are very real steps he can take right now to maintain care for trans youth after NYU Langone's capitulation. It's time for Mamdani to uphold his promises.

Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.

This administration is forcefully detransitioning incarcerated trans people after removing protections from rape. They are absolutely determined to torture trans people in their custody.

That's a no for me, thanks

Involuntarily "tapering" a trans person off of HRT is medically unnecessary and a threat to their well-being. This policy is a human rights violation.

It’s illegal to be trans and drive in Kansas. And trans people’s lives can be destroyed if ONE cis person thinks they should be. Kansas is officially embarking on becoming an apartheid state for trans people. And it’s putting its citizens in direct danger.

The idea that women don't like Star Trek is especially annoying as a trans woman Trekkie.

The Democrats continue to slowly creep in the right direction. Let's hope they finally get there while we still have a little bit of our democracy left. ino.to/EnLhdtl

4th Cir. upholds conviction of a man for murdering a trans woman he was in a relationship with over his challenge to a trans woman juror. Defers to trial judge's finding that trans juror could be impartial. www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/244...

CEOs Never Cum

Most normal New York Times writer.

The sick anti trans people will split hairs that attempts don't equal completed suicides as if a child attempting to take their own life isn't a tragedy in and if itself. They're monsters covering up the consequences of their actions that enabled these bans to pass in the first place.

In Texas, a trans youth attempted suicide after the governor launched investigations into the families of trans youth. As a result of the directive, the hospital staff reported the family to DCF which then investigated the family. The very thing that caused that youth to attempt suicide.

After Arkansas passed it's law banning care, it came out at trial when ​Dr. Michele Hutchison testified at least 4 trans youth in her care attempted suicide and were hospitalized. These anti trans laws are directly resulting in suicide attempts by trans youth.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions. They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

Come and take them!

The FBI is trying to criminalize being trans. Meanwhile, dem centrists: "Did you know trans sports is unpopular? Trans sports is really unpopular. You shouldn't focus on that issue. Dems shouldn't focus on trans sports issues. Again, don't talk about trans sports, it's unpopular."

We need to get all trans people out of Kansas ASAP

Oh dear Ben... pretty soon I'm going to start getting jealous of all the attention you lavish on Parker and Alejandra.

So....the Fourth Reich?

I’m of the firm belief that 100% of anti-trans bigots have found a trans woman attractive and can’t handle the emotions the attraction stirred up.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Far right anti-trans content dominated discussions of trans people on Facebook. It's not just the large media institutions of the right but also its influencers who pushed this content and were rewarded by the algorithm that favors fear, anger, and hate. www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

No amount of persuasion or civility can counter that kind of asymmetry in media messaging. It's an absolute tsunami of negative messaging from the top-down funded by the wealthiest people on the planet.

When you have dominant right wing media along with favorable algorithmic incentives, it goes a long way to explain the slide in support for trans people. If every day someone is bombarded with the message "this group of people is a problem" they're going to start to believe that group is a problem.

Right wing media has dominated the info space about trans issues. Fox News alone writes more stories about trans people than even LGBTQ news outlets. That doesn't even take into account the influencer space where algo engagement favors this kind of narrative. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/02/fox-...

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.

This is why you never cede an inch to these assholes. They will come back and take your whole goddamn mile.

The first few years of my career from 2016-2019 were basically all focused on advocating for GENDA to be passed in NY. A lot of my work was focused on housing and employment discrimination. I had no idea trans people could even compete in sports until 2020. It was not a thing we were pushing at all.

The ultimate problem here is that there's an entire class of political pundits like this who have cooked their brains on X and get their entire view of trans rights advocacy through an explicitly right wing framing, a result that was the explicit goal of Elon buying and manipulating the platform.

The olympics allowed trans people to compete in 2004. Renee Richards sin the right to compete in 1977. And the efforts that were done were undertaken with persuasion and consensus with sporting bodies over decades. The right responded with $100s millions in ads and a full legislative assault.

It's just incredibly frustrating that these people make these policy pronouncements without actually understanding any of the history at all. Most of the stuff he says are unpopular such as sports were never really a major focus of advocacy historically until the right forced it to be one.

Trans people learned quickly that compromise didn't work. They just kept coming back and passing more and more draconian laws. That is still happening regardless.

Utah, Missouri, and West Virginia passed limited bans as a result of quiet compromises. They're now all in the process of passing more permanent bans. Utah may strip a decade old civil rights protection statute for trans people this year.

Even with the legislative assault, compromises were made such as bans on trans youth surgery in exchange for not banning access to HRT, Arizona and New Hampshire being the examples. New Hampshire banned care fully for trans youth this year. Compromise didn't work.

Minnesota was the first state that passed discrimination protections in 1993. Minneapolis did so in 1975, that's fifty years ago! California followed suit in 2003. Utah! passed it in 2015. There were major advocacy efforts behind these bills that relied on persuasion and consensus.

Part of the right wing project around this is making it seem like trans people just randomly appeared in 2015 and we were unreasonable. (I wonder what happened that year that made trans people a focus for them?). There were decades of quiet advocacy to get basic anti discrimination protections.

Absolutely brain dead take. Trans people did start with employment, housing, and healthcare. There are cases dating back decades such as Smith v. Salem in 2004 and Glenn v Brumby in 2011! Many states passed anti discrimination laws well over a decade ago. He has no idea what he's talking about.
