I see a lot of people speculating about how Alice died and I am asking you to...please not do that. If her family wants to share information about that on their own time, they will, but the speculation and sometimes outright conspiracy theories are actually really upsetting for them to see.

I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

The problem with elite institutions has never been leftists or wokeness or the coddling of the American mind or whatever other asinine thing conservatives drone on about. The problem with elite institutions has always been powerful, wealthy, elite people.

Monday’s free post on Transing Boundaries will be about gender affirming care and the USCCB but for now my free comm’s hot take is that if your strategy is to make a weird gender essentialist take about fashion and priests wearing “dresses” you are not doing the trans allyship you think you are

Detransition is being used as political fodder by the Trump admin and its allies to support extreme anti-trans policies.
In the process, the reality of detransition is lost. For our new series, I spoke with detransitioners who feel harmed by the Trump admin. Their stories are complex and important.

Detransition is key to politicians’ anti-trans agenda. But what is it really like?
The 19th spoke with two detransitioners who feel harmed and used by the Trump administration, which has positioned itself as a protector of those who detransition.

Turns out the real threat to women and children were the Republicans in charge. They scapegoated trans people to deflect from their own sex crimes against women and children.
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

An analysis of news pieces about Trump’s anti-trans decrees found that “70 percent did not include a quote from a single trans person. Instead, journalists turned to cisgender sources — mostly government officials — to speak about trans people, their lives, and how they would be affected.”
NEW: Firings of LGBTQ staff at NBC and Condé Nast have worsened an already dire picture for legacy news media when it comes to covering the trans community.

"Forcing women to become mothers by denying their humanity, stripping them of access to abortion and birth control, and requiring them to sacrifice education and careers to do so reduces women to their reproductive capacity."
Pronatalism: Just White Christian Nationalism in Disguise
Scratch just beneath the surface of the so-called pronatalism movement—a movement all over the pages of Project 2025 that’s based on the belief that people need to have more babies because declining birth rates are a threat to civilization—and you’ll find that it’s basically just white Christian nationalism in disguise.
