Voters increasingly blame GOP lawmakers for the prolonged government shutdown, which has now entered its fourth week and ranks as the second-longest in US history. Polls show more frustration directed at Republicans than Democrats as the stalemate grinds on.

Not to make it all about trans people but hopefully all pf you flabbergasted by the Tylenol Autism news also recognize that this administration's anti-science mentality also applies to their stance on trans rights, including trans sports and trans youth healthcare. Science supports inclusion.

In fact, according to a Reuters review of insurance data, about 15 percent of youth who receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria receive a medical intervention like puberty blockers or cross sex hormones.
15 percent get treated, 85 percent are diagnosed with no medical steps taken.

...so 20 percent having an NB identity by the end of the study does not mean 20 percent mistaken medical transitions, or even 5 percent mistaken medical transitions.
They're falsely implying every child who espouses a trans identity and is affirmed is given medical interventions, which isn't true.

Being trans is not a death cult. Quite the opposite: transitioning made me want to live as long as possible now that I can enjoy my life. That's all we're asking for. This hateful rhetoric has to end.

Democrats in Congress are willing to throw trans people under the bus because there are polls that show that 51% of losers are losers. But 85% of people polled saying NO TO WAR, they'll say that more information is needed.

if you’re cis & liberal & allowed sports or bathroom access to become a wedge issue & you went barging into “rapid onset gender dysphoria” & “kids rushed into transition” & “there will be mass waves of detransition and regret” & “irreparable harm” you should know you’ll have blood on your hands.

Skrmetti was the culmination of a decade long effort to turn the tide back against LGBTQ rights by the far right. They specifically targeted trans people after Obergefell to cleave the community. Now their next target is to overturn Obergefell. That's the end goal. We were a stepping stone to that.

Could you imagine the New York Times writing an article saying women were asking for too much with abortion rights and that they went too far?
That's effectively what they did here to trans people despite it being the same fight for bodily autonomy.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.

It’s the same with “I just think kids should be assessed before they transition.”
*Every* compromise position in this ‘debate’ is already the reality. You cannot forge a middle ground between people who are responding to the world as it is and people who are constantly lying.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.
