Gentle reminder that if you're inviting someone over, either let them bring their own food or prepare something they can eat. And ffs DON'T SNEAK INGREDIENTS INTO THINGS AS A "JOKE." You can literally kill someone.

The 6th Circuit has been competing to be the most anti-trans circuit in America and is now carving out a right to bully transgender kids.

Despicable.
BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts.

Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.

Yes, Jabotinsky and revisionist Zionists SAID they were colonizers and that Israel was a colonial enterprise, but obviously they didn't MEAN it, says the Jerusalem Post

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults.

It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage.

It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US.

What this means in practice is that 14K trans people will have to quit their federal employee jobs and find jobs that cover gender affirming care.

In other words, this is a purge of trans people from the civil service.

Lavender scare.

Everyone who participates is responsible
20 Aug 25 -- Trump admin quietly enacts new ban of reimbursement for gender related care through fed govt's largest health insurer regardless of age. 8m fed & 2m postal employees of which ~14k are trans -- will be affected. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid!

A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors."

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now.

It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban.

Obeying is never good enough
You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

The site now switches back and forth between background maps depending on whether you have the Gulf of Mexico in the frame. 🤦‍♀️
Looking to access important public information on earthquakes? Not so fast, you have to wait while fewer employees than ever frantically try to find maps with geographic names that satisfy the whims of the guys taking away your rights.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.

Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.

This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC.

You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself.

It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research.

Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.
NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.

This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.
