Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
Dylan Mulvaney's latest success, this time on Broadway, once again has conservative weirdos frothing at the mouth.

Absolutely epic day at EY Dublin yesterday celebrating Pride with my Unity Network colleagues and friends and with my family. celebrating the victories of the last 10 years but there is still more to do. A great day for all in EY’s LGBTQIA+ community and allies and all funds raised for Belong To.

Why do I support trans rights? I have a trans niece, whose happiness increased tenfold when she lived as her real self. And I’ve seen this exact hate-filled song and dance before about gay people in the 80s. And it was about Black people before then. And Jewish people. And Irish people…

People all over Ireland are demanding that women Camogie players have a choice in what they wear. It's 2025, not 1925! Can you share their message with friends and family now? my.uplift.ie/petitions/gi...
Give Camogie players the choice to wear shorts
I'm calling on The Camogie Association to allow players the choice to wear shorts. Will you sign too?

This is an appalling and retrograde judgement in the UK which only gives oxygen and quasi-legal justification to bigots. Love and strength to all my trans siblings there .
I know in Ireland at the minute - there’s a lot of “it couldn’t happen here - but we actively need to make sure it doesn’t.

It shouldn't have to be like this.
An entire minority shouldn't be sitting, terrified, that the UK Supreme Court is going to remove their rights off the back of a decade-long hate campaign.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, which is the anniversary of a milestone in my own journey. But it is not only a celebration, it’s a call to action for all trans people and our allies.
There must be systemic change and the calling out of anti-trans misinformation for what it is.

They’re not even trying to hide the lies and the outright hatred anymore. It’s like they don’t even feel the need to hide behind the tattered falsehood of fairness and protecting women and children.
Major news:
Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.
It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"
I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.
Shameful.

Note to anyone who needs it today: A man who believes that a cleric's plea for compassion is "hate speech" has no business invoking God, or claiming to be a believer in anything but himself.
