So states can't tell therapists to avoid harmful, pseudoscientific "therapy" but colleges can tell students what they're allowed to study. So free speechy!

I wish more women could see that we're in it together against predatory men. We're just as much victims as you are. We're not your enemy, we're your ally in this struggle . . .

It's amazing hw many people think they will be the exception to the MAGA sociopaths. Have these people never dealt with abusers before? Are they really that naive? Abusers don't care how much of a model woman you are, honey, they'll abuse you nonetheless. They aren't the ones to save you.

I'm really tired of insensitive, boorish men. I don't need any more of them in my government.

This Administration is doing incalculable damage to all of America. It will materially make our lives worse for decades to come. This is why you don't let a rapist sociopath into the White House, the capacity for harm is beyond all understanding.

One doesn't "identify as" as transgender girl, one simply is a transgender girl. It's a biological phenomenon that happens to a small but appreciable fraction of human beings.

As people end up accumulating enormous amounts of medical debt because they can no longer afford insurance, this is going to have cascading effects that will be a huge weight no the economy gong forward

Absolutely horrifying. And the sad thing is that this is completely unsurprising to anyone paying any attention, and we know there's much worse to still be discovered.

Given what I've seen with my own two eyes about how absolutely horribly most therapists are trained to deal with trans people, I can only imagine that most medical doctors have the most bizarre and unhealthy ideas about me as a trans woman.

These people are 1 million percent sure that scientifically there are only 2 genders, but when it comes to climate change who the hell knows why anything at all happens

If you're trans in Tennessee, you don't have privacy. Your mental health and medical information will now be public knowledge. This will have the predictable effect of forcing trans people to be even more marginalized, to not seek desperately needed mental health support and medicine.

Sen. Brent Taylor (R-Memphis) is a sociopath.

To be trans in this world is to live with the knowledge that your basic rights can substantially shift at any time and with very little notice

Imagine being a woman who makes her way in the world by sucking up to a rapist

Anyway I invite people to check out the racial demographics of the 2025 NASA astronaut class while you make fun of someone for asking the question of who gets the power to name things in space I woulda gotten kicked out of the class for asking how come no one passed the paperbag test 🔭

A recent, similar study out of Australia that did not use a hopelessly biased methodology found the exact opposite. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Bear this in mind for probable wins by Democrats in the 2026 Congressional races and 2028 Presidency

Precisely this outcome has been linked to sizable increases in suicide, depression, and anxiety. It makes our lives smaller and more desperate, and it has no positive gain for anyone except the bigots who get off on seeing others in pain.

Transphobia loses

I need you to understand how completely degrading, depressing, and harmful it is that we all have gotten to the point where this is just a rational, pragmatic thing to think.

This. There's no guarantee that, should a Democrat take the presidency, he or she will actually take the steps to make it safer for us to exist in this country.

Is Ben just thick? Working with youth to reach embodiment goals is a means of treating gender dysphoria. Instead of telling trans youth what their ideal body should be, we listen to them. It's not that difficult . . .

I knew he was going to turn out to be trans! Poor guy ended up marrying his oppressor. As many of us do. Next steps are to completely change everything about his life and possibly end up experiencing happiness in 5 - 10 years . . .

I am emphatically urging trans people to go out and do normal things. Mix among the cis. It'll really be ok. It will make your life much better.

Mississippi has chosen to Kansas' lead in limiting trans people's access to driver's licenses. @valorievandieman.bsky.social shares their perspective as a trans person living in the state. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Between the whole world aghast that Trump was threatening to nuke a country just for spite and whatever the fuck this is, there's certainly a feeling that the dam is starting to burst against this sociopathic rapist.

I love that Ben Ryan is helping me find so many worthy trans nonprofits to donate to

Believe me, I've tried. It's not easy.

We live in a world where parents can coerce their children into taking dubious weight loss drugs, but parents are legally prohibited from giving their children desperately needed medical care for gender dysphoria.

Republicans: we need more pregnant teenagers.

It's crazy and maddening that no cis journalists stopped to ask themselves what's basically the first thing that a trans person would wonder about a study like this. It just shows how biased our media institutions are against gender-affirming care.

A study from Finland has been used to cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth. But Finland never offered gender affirming care. Perhaps invasive, adversarial, fruitless years of assessment harm trans youth? New opinion by @evanurquhart.bsky.social: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The Democrats do need to be accountable for this happening. And no, accountability doesn't mean "blame the gross transgenders for existing."

governor abbott took away our rainbow crosswalks but we replaced them with much more visible rainbow sidewalks, and some businesses have followed suit (one added rainbow exterior stairs)

This is what happens when you put in charge someone who ran a casino into bankruptcy. Everyone who voted for Trump can go fuck themselves.

Hard to imagine people who are so wounded that they'd shack up with MAGAs just to feel good about themselves. And the unfortunate thing is that it never actually works, it just ends up re-traumatizing you . . .

I'm rewatching Face/Off and I must say that the subtle nuances of switching bodies with your archnemesis hits a lot harder as a 47-year-old trans woman than as a 17-year-old boy.

omfg 😂😂

A new paper has come out that has Twitter/X afire. It seems to argue that gender-affirming care for transgender youth is not only ineffective, but potentially harmful. It's also a very poorly-done piece of work. My new piece: gidmk.substack.com/p/does-gende...

trump wound up giving iran massively more control over the global energy market than it had before he started the war. job well done sir

I do have to point out that this is exactly the same rhetoric he used to dehumanize trans people, and everyone was all good with that

I feel like a restraining order would be appropriate at this point

He's clearly lost his mind. And he's clearly been in 25th Amendment territory for well over a year now. It's completely unbelievable and a dereliction of duty that he's still in office.

It's a good question, and I cover this in the piece. MH appointments tend to go up for a variety of reasons (coming out, requirements, transition being hard) but then go down as people get what they need and their lives vastly improve.

So funny that those mean people used fake data in a lame attempt to hurt trans people when this very similar study using actual data found the exact opposite of theirs.

Anyone who fails to see the intersection of medical care and civil rights is either stupid or wants to hurt trans people.

Just your typical "threatening to wipe out a civilization with nuclear weapons" day for the president. Poor baby is in over his little head. How many are going to die because of his fragile toxic masculinity?

1. A new study claims trans care worsens mental health. It is fatally flawed. It didn't measure mental health—it measured psych visits. Even visits that stemmed from mandatory checkins, surgical pre-psych evals, or pre-treatment that was classified as post. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Democrats seem to never think that they, a major political party in a two-party country, have the power to change public opinion

Done. Everyone join in and turn Ben Ryan's gross obsession with a woman into a win for trans kids. southernequality.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/fo...
