I'm sure he thinks this makes him sound like an action movie hero instead of a homicidal maniac.

A small reminder that this may in fact be a test run to see if they can get away with a national abortion ban using the same method.

Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .” It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.

Regression, Not Progress: Return to Sex Testing. Schultz (2021), contended that it is impossible to determine sex definitively. The @WorldAthletics idea of a true sex is mistaken, & tries to make something incredibly complex seem simple & binary! idrottsforum.org/feature-piep...

Currently reading セクシュアリティの多様性と排除(好井裕明編, 明石書店, 2010).　鶴田幸恵's piece on what psychologists and psychiatrists look for and what patients try to perform for them during old school GID diagnosis just hit on an interesting thing.

On Thursday, the South Dakota Supreme Court denied an appeal from a transgender woman seeking to update her birth certificate to reflect her gender identity, upholding the lower court’s decision #NOH8

More of me going through my backlog. This story may resonate with some of you. I fear the situation isn't improving, but this might help some, especially folks contemplating finally transitioning as an older adult.

Another good recent article (I'm working through a backlog). Keeping an eye on ethnic breakdown in studies is generally a good idea. www.psypost.org/broad-claims...

An article from a bit ago by @fiercemum.bsky.social . Also a good source if you want to look at research done with actual trans kids on their needs, as a lot of Cal's work on it is listed in one place. growinguptransgender.com/2026/03/02/t...

Reupping this. Michigan has an LGBTQ+ committee that listens and relays information and concerns to the state legislature. It isn't the same has having a direct voice, but it is something. They also hold meetings statewide. pridesource.com/article/mich...

Looked like so much fun, I guess. These guys really do enjoy spending tax money on worthless gestures.

This is the correct answer. It would not matter if you delivered a PhD thesis on the subject to her, that's not the point of her question.

The Rowling Tax

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 6 Advocate The insanity of what it's like being a trans teacher under FL Don't Say Gay/Trans law where you can't use your correct name or pronouns with students or otherwise indicate that you're female while in school.

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online. Full stop. "Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name We have to stop this. theintercept.com/2026/03/05/k...

I added this description after some good faith discussions: "News outlets in this starter pack explicitly avoid the use of AI-generated text, images, videos, and audio. To be included, clear documentation must be provided via publicly available editorial policies or statements by leadership."

British female track and field athletes are being asked to cover the cost of their own £185 sex tests if they want to compete internationally. Because curbing trans people's rights to participate in anything subjects everyone to intrusive scrutiny and here, hefty expense. This is not a 'them' issue.

There isn't a better example of how "gender criticism" is a conspiratorial cult that the unhinged GC belief that a group of trans people working in Twitter are secretly deleting the "likes" of GC activists on a specific 2019 JK Rowling tweet. Why does this "GC belief" never come up in court cases?

"Feminism" [Times]

Gonna read this, but I want to point out that while the disgust-desire axis is very real, it isn't everything. A lot of cis men are indeed just horrible bigots.

Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive

I, too, want to know who mystery man is. This admin has a hard on for their transphobia and it'd be nice to put names to all of those involved.

This was my first time hearing about Agatha, but apparently it's yet another Nazi thing that is being fetishized in some of the usual places. globalextremism.org/post/what-is...

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

“Living with the person I love for over twenty-six years, supporting one another, and yet still being unable to officially become a family has been a huge challenge of being trans."

New Podcast Episode: Good Law, Great Acting We speak to @theabigailthorn.bsky.social about her latest play BLINK @transexilenetwork.co.uk submission to GANHRI And we speak to @transsolidarity.bsky.social regarding the high court case against the EHRC And more whatthetrans.com/ep150/

Over twenty years ago, a court ruled that forcing trans people to live “in an intermediate zone as not quite one gender or the other is no longer sustainable”. That decision became the foundation for the UK’s Gender Recognition Act. Here’s how ✍️ @jessothomson.co.uk

it’s incredibly concerning that doomsday believing evangelicals have won control of the government

Discovered a trove of papers I haven't read yet and realized they're mostly written between 2005 and 2015 and for some reason more relevant now than ever. I'll post links and summaries for the curious.

It is nearly impossible to get trans-led research into the mainstream press. I've never managed it. Congrats @transactualuk.bsky.social

The story has been picked up by mainstream press. Great work by @transactualuk.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Still remembering Singal 's interview with Lance at @theserfstv.bsky.social . He said he was in it for the sensationalism of the thing. He said he was moving on. He also wanted to assure everyone that gender dysphoria wasn't a requirement for being trans. Thanks, glad we got your approval there.

this is Jesse's entire game: instilling readers with the *feeling* that something is horribly wrong with gender-affirming care w/o providing a shred of evidence it's actually happening (because it isn't)

Days like today that I'm glad I'm not on anyone's radar. I think.

Jesse Singal now appears to be siding with Ken Paxton on forced mental health conversion therapy for trans youth.

The framing effect has long been known, but this is a new level of... Ugh. It also shows why people like Frank Luntz were so effective. open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

And Christ did say, ah

It's not like they've been shy about saying it. Check any GC Twitter account. It's fascist propaganda. These are a group of middle-aged to elderly bigots who simply can't leave other people alone to live their lives because their mere existence is so troubling to them it destabilises their mind.

Some of us grew up being indoctrinated into this. This kind of doomsday cult thinking is at the root of so much evil in the US today that it's impossible imo to separate it out from so many harmful policies and political decisions.
