The organized astroturfing and financing of these extreme ideologies is one of the key stories of our time
Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed

We should be at a point that whenever someone says 'vaccinations are bad' they sound as stupid as if they said toothbrushing is bad. We brush our teeth twice a day. We get vaccinated. Its a profound failure of society that vaccine sceptics get any traction

It is unethical and illegal to repeat animal tests for the safety of chemicals where the data exists or the tests add no new knowledge.
So why are we treating children worse than lab rats, when GAC is known to be safe and effective? That’s unethical.

Ignoring the fact that "biological sex" is a loaded, political term pushed by Gender-Conservatives to treat trans people as unnatural---my biology has fucking changed! That's kind of the point!

Like, at first glance, I thought a fucking TERF had written it. It took me a little bit to realise this was a cis "ally" "defending us"
Stop this and actually fucking LISTEN to trans people and look up the science and stop doing this. It hurts us and we don't appreciate it

It is 2025. The EHRC in the UK keeps trying to materialize a trans bathroom ban out of a muddled UKSC opinion third-sexing all trans people. A bill to criminalise those who provide trans minors with transition care passed in the US House of Representatives.

It's hard to determine whether the blame lies more with trans advocacy abandoning any and all radicalism while trying to find a palatable message for a cissexist society married to sex-essentialism, or with cis people's inherent discomfort with sex being mutable.

There's an easy answer to the "bone density" concerns too, it's called "letting trans kids start HRT so they can go through the correct puberty for them at the same time as their peers."
Puberty blockers ARE the compromise.
Puberty blockers ARE the compromise.
New Zealand's libertarian/ populist/ right wing coalition Government is trying to follow Wesley Streeting's lead in banning puberty blockers.
This is what the New Zealand High Court has just decided (www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...).

![[17] There is also no evidence of a particular need to act urgently to prevent new prescriptions because of some immediate risk to physical health if young people commence treatment. [18] Puberty blockers are reversible. There is no evidence that they affect fertility. If they did, they would hardly be prescribed for children with precocious puberty and they have been prescribed for that purpose for decades. They may alleviate distress for a child who is simply not ready to cope with puberty either because they are too young or because their mental health is such that a delay is recommended. The only evidence-based impact on physical health is on bone density and that impact results from long term use. A period of months until the Judicial Review can be heard is not said to create any issues with bone density for a young person commencing treatment. [19] The evidence relating to mental health outcomes suggests negative outcomes from a ban are a far more immediate concern.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xurjtu2wa2akyi64gab34ahg/bafkreih3dcnwld4y5s4wqdtgps3fdhnnw2jcetmvkit4ictclmkfixiese@jpeg)

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

I agree that it’s 100% true that the eyeballs are all on short form video - and man, it’s still really depressing how the necessity of Doing Video nowadays seriously disadvantages people who aren’t conventionally attractive (or who just genuinely can’t stand being on camera)
The one thing I keep thinking about is how much direct to camera stuff rewards physical attractiveness. I mean, that's gotta be part of the reason these wellness influencers are successful, right? And you're competing for eyeballs with them.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.
