If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

UPDATE:
I just got off the phone with the bank, and to get my car back, I need to pay the entire remaining balance, which is a little over $5K. I feel awful asking for any more after how overwhelmingly powerful the response has been so far(!), but unfortunately we aren't quite out of the woods yet.

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore.
More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Interesting, because I am assured by people on both side sides of the aisle that homeless people are not a part of our society, but a social nuisance to be harassed and a great societal danger to be expunged.

Starting to think we should be giving the homeless 60% of municipal budgets and bulldozing police encampments instead of the other way around. I’ve never been tear-gassed by a homeless person for exercising my 1st amendment rights.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

What The Actual Fuck
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.
