For me, estrogen tablets taken sublabially result in about a 100 pg/ml increase over taking it sublingual

There are now TWELVE (possibly 13...) peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review. I have listed them all on my blog, now updated with links to all of them. Trying to keep it as up-to-date as possible. For a fuller list, @notrightruth.bsky.social has them all here; ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/w...

I know I’m super late to the Kimmy party, but this perfectly describes what living as a system is like

Living in a hospital bed for over a month not knowing when you’re gonna get out of there was a crazy experience. Special shout out to IV Benadryl

Coming back, I think it's worth fact checking Newsom here. Here are some of his anti-trans actions in 2025 - tried to dissuade legislators from filing the trans right bills - tried to refund millions allocated to trans healthcare - not stopping some hospitals from illegally denying trans care

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments. 224 YEARS. This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change. We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Mira's article today showcases a number of stories about transphobic discrimination involving Lyft, Patreon, a life insurance provider, and Amazon. It's worth reading and sending to your cis friends who lack awareness on just how pervasive these issues are.

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol. Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

Texas Universities are now banning many professors from even acknowledging that transgender people even exist. A massive censorship battle is snowballing its way through Texas higher ed. S. Baum writes about it in their latest piece for Erin In The Morning. Subscribe to support our work.

$216 million between september and november 2024 alone. yep.

"She said the union has received several reports of “significant, detrimental impacts” on transgender and intersex pupils as a result of a recent UK Supreme Court ruling." It's child abuse! news.stv.tv/politics/tea...

the democrats need to let the government shut down happen. they cannot let donald trump pass the funding bill that ends federal funding to hospitals that give hormone replacement therapy

Safety Advice: I keep seeing young trans people on social media talking about therapists disrespecting their pronouns and parents telling them that the therapist has a right to their beliefs. I want to be clear: you have a right to the therapy room being a safe supportive space for YOUR growth.

It’s kind of insane how good the original X-men animated series is? Like in just the first season they’re dealing with civil rights, government brutality, and preventing a genocide. I can’t believe this was a Saturday morning cartoon

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

ICE is doing forced labor and sexual assault of transgender people in their detention centers, reads a new complaint.

so what he really means here is NOBODY should be ALLOWED to be trans, an IDENTITY that no one else can either bestow or take away and i hope you realize when he spouts this goofily-worded nonsense from his concrete brains what he’s actually advocating for so yeah: SHUT IT DOWN

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point. Curious...

Trans folks: can I hear about something ✨awesome✨ that is going on in your life?

The lurch rightward on trans acceptance wasn't organic, it's a pogrom being initiated by the rich as part of the execution of fascism. Fascism is all about shrinking the boundaries of the national in-group to constantly create an internal enemy to scapegoat and distract from the real problem.

Almost dying really is making all my hair fall out :(

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

when I wrote Girlmode, I felt good about the future of trans folk, especially young people, in the United States, and that there was no need to spend the book exploring the quotidian humiliations of transphobia, because what I was interested in was showing how a trans girl is a girl. whelp.

I kind of hate the idea that just because a game is challenging that the sequel has to be impossible

imagine a world where politicians said stuff like this about trans health care, too. coz they totally could, from a science perspective

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING. It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment. It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

Wrote for @thenation.com about the complicity of some liberal politicians and pundits in the conservative campaign to exterminate trans people www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, the far-right, led by the Trump administration, has doubled its efforts to crackdown on transgender people. My latest article in The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thing with all the soft language of dignity and respect and compromise being used to describe loss of human rights, persecution, and segregation, is that it immediately frames any opposition to it as unreasonable and aggressive

Watching some Democrats continue to smear trans people at the very moment the right is trying to exterminate them is one of the most shameful things I can remember witnessing. Wrote about it for @thenation.com today. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

More than 2700 people have read this piece between Patreon and the new newsletter. Have you read it yet? It's important.

How can we complain about media literacy where we are now at the point where “identity groups” ( PEOPLE) have to fact check the news as a matter of course

Existing as a trans person in the year of our genocide 2025 is waking up to news of the latest domestic terrorism/violence news and praying the suspect isn't questioning their gender.

I got to speak with @truthout.org today about the FTC Comments! “The FTC is clearly on a fishing expedition, looking for responses that will justify its predetermined position.” But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t comment! Read more: truthout.org/articles/adv...

"Every time there's a mass shooting in the US, my trans friends and I hold our breath."

It's weird having FFS recovery basically be a breeze but then also it almost killed me

"type of person who is Different isn't allowed because they're Unpleasant" is a fucking kids' cartoon plotline, it cannot get more on-the-nose than this

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

1. In a groundbreaking legal filing, transgender patients, represented by Women's Law Project, have filed a legal complaint against UPMC for capitulating to Trump and dropping trans care. Federal funding threats do not override state law. Subscribe to support our journalism.

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

anyway here’s @vivmccall.bsky.social with some extremely good and extremely fucking sobering reporting on the recent surge in random hate crimes directed at trans women in Seattle. Please be careful, everyone. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

This shit has to stop. What the fuck is going on, Seattle? I'm already anxious about going out. Fuck.

Earlier this month, three trans women were beaten by a group of young men in Seattle's gay neighborhood. According to the county prosecutor's office, there's been at least four more group beatings since June 2024. In one case, strangers joined in. The kicker? www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

Once again, it's clear that, "biological male" and "biological female" are anti-trans slurs and are only used to denigrate trans people.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

In the news from Texas: Angelo State University has just informed faculty that "if they make any statement implying that there are more than two sexes or genders (male and female) they will be fired." conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...
