I had the amazing opportunity last night to attend the World Premiere of The Black Phone 2 at the Chinese Theater amidst the Cast & Crew! Scott Derrickson has crafted a worthy sequel with a beautiful heartfelt story at its core that just begged to be told. Thanks again to Blumhouse for the invite!!!

It's so funny to me that Josh Payne has resigned himself to bragging about procedural victories from cases he has no involvement in because the ones Campbell Miller Payne are handling keep getting BTFO'd from court. 😬

The right says the country needs to “turn down the temperature.” Then they call us slurs, suggest banning us from owning guns, and smear us after shootings. Is it any wonder trans women in places like Seattle are being hunted in the street?

They're already down to 2 active attorneys from an original team of 4, and still handling a couple active cases while determined to appeal others. From my understanding every single case has been taken on contingency.

IMHO, they're on borrowed time. I bet they close down late 2026 / early 2027.

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.

If I had to guess it seems pretty pointless to attempt since all 3 Appeals Judges concurred on the ruling. It’s more likely they’ll just head back to the Trial Court and attempt a motion to try and get the case itself dismissed before it actually gets to trial.

Even before the case was put on hold for Appeal, Chloe's team begun to overplay their hand with Special Interrogatories, trying to make the case about GAC as a whole rather than Chloe's specific case. The Judge Denied it.

IMHO, this case is still destined for failure.

#DeTransLaw news in Chloe Cole's case!

The Motion to Compel Further Responses to Special Interrogatories has been DENIED. Chloe's Legal Team was seeking data on ALL patients who sought GAC through Kaiser going back to 2003, inclusive of procedures Chloe never underwent (Phallo).

In fact, subsequent filings from Chloe's team in the aftermath of that ruling start to paint a picture of Chloe's family and her medical history that don't look good for her. Amongst them the revelation that Chloe only detransitioned after a bad LSD trip.

Buckle up #DeTransLaw! @Liberty_Ctr just dropped 10 different Declarations in support of @ChoooCole, and they are WILD!

Among them are some familiar names in Anti-Trans activism, like Stephen Levine and Michael Laidlaw. Others include Chloe's mom Jocelyn and... Kayla Lovdahl? 😬

However as I explained in an article for @assignedmedia.org back when lower court intially ruled to deny arbitration; this is a procedural win that has absolutely zero bearings on the merits of the case. It's one of many hurdles before reaching a jury trial.

#DeTransLaw News:

On Friday the Appeals Court ruled Affirming the lower courts ruling to Deny Kaiser's Motion to Compel Arbitration in the Chloe Cole Lawsuit.

As expected the usual suspects celebrated claiming this is finally the win that will bring down the entire Gender Medicine Industry.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I know the lawsuit filings have a different name, but Layton has specifically requested she be referred to as Layton and not by the name in the legal filings. I ask everyone to please honor that.

Breaking #DeTransLaw News!

Layton Ulery's lawsuit against all Defendants (including Jason Rafferty) except for Julie Lyons has been Dismissed w/out Prejudice.

The state-law claims against Julie Lyons have been Remanded to the Rhode Island Superior Court.

Judge notes it's unlikely to survive SOL.

Very much so.

The Venn Diagram between Anti-Vaxxers and TERF / GC's is just a circle. Over in the UK they were even trying to use the original Bell v. Tavistock ruling to shut down vaxx sites for teens because they claimed it required them to get a court ruling to consent to vaccination.

If anyone tries to gaslight you into believing Jamie Reed is simply a life-long Democrat with concerns and not an Anti-Trans Extremist who belives in Trans Eradication, you can point to the following statement she made recently:

Nancy Mace decided to say the quiet part out loud today.

“They are the most egregious most vile violent people on Earth. They are mentally ill and should be in a straight jacket with a hard steel lock on it.”

These people won't be satisfied until we're all institutionalized or in camps.

Rep. Nancy Mace continues to use a transgender slur — isn’t that considered hate speech?

Megyn Kelly: "Just in the last couple of years we've had seven mass shootings by Trans identified shooters. Seven, this is number seven... Seven, the left won't tell you that. They'll pretend that it's nothing... Something has to be done. I mean we need to be protected."

They're turning this into their Reichstag fire and they're openly admitting it.

On Monday, two senior administration officials, who spoke anonymously to describe the internal planning, said that cabinet secretaries and federal department heads were working to identify organizations that funded or supported violence against conservatives. The goal, they said, was to categorize left-wing activity that led to violence as domestic terrorism, an escalation that critics said could lay the groundwork for crushing anti-conservative dissent more broadly.

Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Mr. Kirk’s podcast, “The Charlie Kirk Show,” to lay out their plans.
