Since our founding last summer Trans News Network has taken on everything from the New York Times' bigotry to Epstein's anti-trans cronies and much, much more. As a worker-run news org, we're dedicated to journalism that's in-depth, hard-hitting and unrepentantly radical. Help us keep doing it:

Sooo... "Dr. Acton said she agrees with the law prohibiting transgender women and girls from participating in women's and girls' sports. 'I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law,' Dr. Acton said."

so glad i’m out of new york for the taylor swift wedding. I think it’s gross! I think she’s gross! and i’m tired of being afraid to say it because everyone is insane and obsessed with wealth.

The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.
