this is a fantastic ruling but it's deeply depressing that the clearest-eyed condemnation of this administration's actions has come from the judges tasked with ruling on their legality and not the press ostensibly tasked with speaking truth to power

MORE YOUNG: "It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community. That’s appalling."

So, a quick reminder ...
"Epistemicide" is a term you should become very familiar with in all discussions regarding trans oppression. It sounds fancier than it is. The term is related to the concept of epistemic injustice. In essence, trans people have historically been subject to a form of epistemicide: our stories, histories, testimonials, ways of life, all erased and buried to maintain the patriarchal myth of dichotomous, naturalized, immutable sex. We are then further marginalized through epistemic injustice, prevented from participating in the processes of knowledge-production, our testimonies devalued, our voices suppressed and our identities defined for us, not by us. The perception of us shaped by others, instead of ourselves. The conversation about us dominated by the voices of those who'd rather stamp us out, shouting over us constantly. If you're not accounting for this as a central mechanism animating transphobia, you're missing a lot of the picture.

YET ANOTHER STUDY shows that a tiny number of children are diagnosed with gender dysphoria and an even tinier fraction receive puberty blockers or hormones.

Anyone still pretending there is a "debate" about this is willfully ignoring all of the available data.

Of the 3,782 children with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in this dataset, 176 were ever prescribed puberty blockers and 302 ever got hormones.

No biggie, just an ancient equivalent of a clay photograph that shows a man walking his dog 3,800 years ago in the city of Borsippa 🥹
Square shaped clay plaque that shows a man walking a huge dog with a curled tail and floppy ears. The dog has a rope tied around his neck which might be a collar and lead, held in the man’s left hand. In his right hand he holds a stick. They are shown in profile walking to the right

Obviously the government have just spewed out the generic response to this. But I do think it's still worth just constantly pointing out how everything they've said here is wrong. It wasn't independent, it wasn't evidence based, it is a scandal
