Since people asked, my top places for trans people right now are France, Australia (parts), Canada (parts), Spain (though politics there are tenuous), Iceland, Uruguay.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Dick is gone, Bush remains.

Kat putting out TV ads attacking ICE and then being baselessly prosecuted by the Feds is significantly improving her chances of winning IL-9.

*screams*

These are some of the leaked messages Young Republicans were sending in group chats. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

How do we know Bari values diversity of thought? On her website you can find men saying conservative things, women saying conservative things, queer people saying conservative things and minorities saying conservative things!

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

jeez

This move by the Trump administration is an overtly discriminatory civil rights violation. Trans people have the same legal rights as other Americans — end of story. There are lots of good reasons to keep certain people from owning guns. Being trans isn't one of them. https://cnn.it/4niJnxG

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

Gavin Newsom is a genuinely bad person and any admiration you have for him needs to be directed toward actually good people like JB Pritzker or Andy Beshear.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

The core problem appears to be that the NYT decided to double down on "we must be perceived as objective" rather than "we must report the truth." It's a losing game! The only way to be perceived as credible by the right is to amplify their lies and moral panics.

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Even not going that extreme: In 2018, 1 in 3 employers openly said they wouldn't hire a trans person. Which is to say, 1 in 3 were comfortable admitting to someone they would break the law. Do we feel better in 2025 than we did in 2018? www.crosslandsolicitors.com/site/hr-hub/...

Per Alito’s reasoning, not enough kids have successfully killed themselves to be able to say that preventing suicidal ideation in kids is a good thing

Oh god the idiot bombed Iran

It's also just plain wrong. Three studies found statistically significant reduction in suicidality. The fourth, and smallest, with only 19 subjects in the treatment group, found reductions that fell just short of significance. No competent statistician would describe that as "inconsistent".

TW: harm to children. My research into the effects of the UK government puberty-blocker ban has finally been published after peer-review. It details the severe harm being caused to young trans people & children by the Starmer government's puberty-blocker ban. Unlike Cass it is peer reviewed...

anyone who's gonna go "it sucks but you gotta win over people first, slowly build the case for rights" for trans people should tell me, without looking it up, when they think interracial marriage reached majority approval in america

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The way to understand this is Donald Trump targeted a single teenager in Gavin Newsom's state and Gavin Newsom's response was to agree with Trump that this child's existence was an unfortunate inconvenience to his own ability to come in fourth in the 2028 Iowa caucus

If you're only following this "debate" through popular media you probably have the impression that studies on youth gender medicine are roughly split between benefits and harms. Nope! Nearly every study finds benefits. The "debate" is just a bunch of people going, "Those don't count."

Would anyone ever actually say, "You know what I want? A dumbed down, oversimplified slogan that appeals to all my biases"? Of course not. Voters say they want sober, responsible messaging because they want to believe they're the kind of person to who responds to that sort of thing.

Two days before President Donald Trump announced dramatic plans for “reciprocal” tariffs on foreign imports, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sold stock in almost three dozen companies www.propublica.org/article/sean...

Was double-checking the name of a researcher before I cite her on the show and Google's AI reinforced my incorrect recollection!

This is an extreme case obviously, but a version of this has happened to the entire country.

In a major win for trans people in the country, liberals win in Canada. There was serious concern that a Pierre Polievre victory would have resulted in the same dramatic crackdowns on trans people there that we have seen in the US. Trans people in Canada can rest easily now.

1. The White House has just released a "fact sheet" where it announces that 8 fake "experts" are about to release a federal report opposing transgender care. It also announces investigations on manufacturers has begun. Subscribe to support my journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/white-hous...

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

about to do my "moved to a new place" tradition of going to a gay bar and standing around looking pretty until a lesbian asks me to play pool with them

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

i can't adequately enough explain how huge of a deal erasing mention of trans people from the stonewall websites is it's like if they errata'd the bible to make no mention of Jesus it's fucking insane

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people: - X markers will be a focal point - Existing unexpired passports will remain good - No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will - Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

the tough thing about not believing in manifesting is that when you need something you first have to manifest manifesting being real
