I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

New Hampshire House Passes Trans Public Bathroom Ban That Bans "Asserting" Ones Identity The bill is more extreme than a recent one vetoed by the governor.

1. The New Hampshire House has passed a public building bathroom ban that says it is a violation of the state civil rights act for a trans person to "assert" their identity gives them access to a bathroom.

It bans them from public bathrooms across the state.

Rogan Calls Trans People β€œPerverts,” Spreads School Shooting Lies On Show This week, on The Joe Rogan Experience: Steve-O and more anti-trans hate.

1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.

It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.

Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.

Missouri Advances Three Anti-Trans Bathroom Ban Bills In One Night β€œThis is a make-or-break moment with what just happened in Kansas.”

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.

They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.

Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys
If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kidsβ€”or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kidsβ€”they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, β€œthere would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

AG Letitia James Just Stood Up For Trans Youth In New York. Now, Will Mayor Mamdani Act? Attorney General Letitia James has demanded NYU Langone restart care for transgender youth. Will NYC Mayor Mamdani act as well?

1. In a major move, AG Letitia James has given NYU Langone 10 days to resume trans youth care, or face legal consequences.

Now many are asking: Will Mayor Mamdani follow suit and take action to protect trans youth from the Trump administration and capitulation?

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

A screenshot of an article header from The Atlantic's "Ideas" section. The title reads "IN DEFENSE OF EFFEMINATE GAY BOYS" in large, serif capital letters. Below it, a subheader in a smaller font says, "If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded." The byline at the bottom identifies the author as Ben Appel.

The same is true for the subclass of parents who object to those policies on due process grounds.  Under long-established precedent, parentsβ€”not the Stateβ€”have primary authority with respect to β€œthe upbringing and education of children.” Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U. S. 510, 534– 535 (1925); accord, Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U. S. 390, 399– 400 (1923). The right protected by these precedents includes the right not to be shut out of participation in decisions regarding their children’s mental health.  Parham v.

Again the only consistent principle is the one that hurts trans people. Does this parental right not apply to the parents of trans youth to direct the treatments for their children? Under this court, of course it doesn't. It's differential treatment cloaked in formal legalism.

SCOTUS in Skrmetti specifically avoided ruling on the claims by parents based on the 14th amendment due process clause. They did so because ruling against those parents would weaken the conservative parental rights movement. They wanted their cake and to eat it to and they got it. This is the result

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

ASPS Members Demand Answers After Org Released Anti-Trans Statement From Behind Closed Doors The statement is a blunt tool that the Trump regime can use to strip trans youth of life-saving care.

A recent statement from the American Society for Plastic Surgeons advised against surgery, HRT, blockers for trans youth.

Now members and experts that were sidelined at the org are demanding answers after evidence shows it may have been politically influenced by the Trump admin.
