When it was about Tylenol, vaccines, saturated fats, swimming in sewage, eating roadkill, promoting folk remedies based on pesudoscience, people complain. But now that it's about trans/intersex healthcare those people are silent. The selective outrage is very clear when it doesn't affect cis people.

Exactly. It’s always the same pick mes, many of whom made our erasure their career. Especially since anti-trans detransitioners get so much more money from the far right, including those who “turn to Christ.“
They conveniently omit most detransitioners supporting us and identifying as queer.

Tracing through Cass’s sole citation on this is very informative about the (lack of) quality of evidence that she relies on
In the following section, it's pornography.
This is a grossly offensive suggestion. This official report on trans healthcare is actually directly suggesting that trans identity *originates in porn*.
This notion of a link is based on the sole citation of Nadrowski, 2023. Let's take a look...

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

I come back to is harm reduction. OK, hypothetically, there's another cure for GD. It's an invasive brain surgery. How's that any less invasive than reassignment surgery. Okay, there's another "cure." ECT therapy. How is that "humane" compared to surgery? Daily pill? How's that different from HRT?

The least invasive treatment for GD known starts with social transition and acceptance. No body modification and when it's proposed, the gencrits still pass bans and demonize it. Picture the sweaty-hero-2-buttons meme but it's Rowling hesitating over choices of "let them wear skirts" and "lobotomy."

this of course puts JKR and her fellow anti-trans crowd into the same category as the Creationists. They simultaneously want us to believe the evidence is on *their* side, and that *we're* the irrational ones. But if they had evidence, they wouldn't need to lie and make shit up.
I mean, that's no different from any other scientific position, really. Would we reevaluate evolution if we found evidence against it? Of course! Is that likely to ever happen? Nope. The evidence is *strongly* in favor of trans healthcare.

Oh look at that, another well-funded, poorly-named anti-trans group conveniently pushes a proposal that supports what the feds are doing by classifying trans people as extremists, as they try to frame CK's assassin as trans, at the same time as Heritage puts out the TIVE nonsense.

Anti-trans hate group Genspect is formally calling for trans people to be repathologized. This is most certainly to set the stage for mandated conversion therapy and potentially forced institutionalization.

Has anyone covered how the US right wing has been performing a psychological warfare campaign against trans and intersex people? That it's no coincidence when these people use the same words over and over, the same specific phrases, the same exact framing and the same exact vectors of attack?

Everyone asking how this could be consitutional and part of the answer is that SCOTUS in Skrmetti basically made discrimination against trans people legal so long as the pretext is based on diagnosis. So they'll target diagnosis and say it's not based on trans status or sex in court like Skrmetti.
DOJ is openly stating that "trannies shouldn't have guns."
The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.

Right now, anti-trans and anti-intersex bigotry is being promoted with a three-legged system of attack, with each leg feeding into the others:
1.) Accuse people with biological/identity differences of being "delusional" or use narratives to implicate degeneracy, cherry pick data proving claims.

Here at Mex Matters, we are not saying to ban all Mexican food. We're just saying that any other cuisine is bad and wrong and evil. When you hear about us spitting at people who eat tacos, and chastising those that empathize with the employees, just remember, we're a legally registered UK charity.

In the same span of time where a federal bathroom ban is being applied via legal pressure on private businesses, the UK is implementing a defacto bathroom ban.
'A global conspiracy to silence and erase trans people, spanning the ocean' sounds ridiculous, but it's real.

More proof that what's happening in the UK is coordinated with the US:
1.) The day after a massive push by payment processors to ban "porn" (NSFW/queer content) on Itch.io, and a week after Steam was forced to do the same, she headlines this conference.

While social gender authenticity and freedom in personal clothing choice are fundamental human rights and should not be classed as "treatments" or MH "services," Ohio HB96 could be interpreted to limit all mental health care to disaffirming providers who misgender their TGD patients.

I have no words for the dissonance I feel. On the same week as the NYT runs cover for the terrible Skrmetti decision by claiming trans people "reached too far" for rights.
And now this regime is banning trans people from fertility treatments. Tell me it's not a genocide.

The thing I wish I could explain to more people is that the damage done to the federal government will take decades to undo. All of the experts fired and dismissed from agencies will move on, scientists will emigrate, people will disperse, institutional knowledge will be lost, yes.
