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.

All applications for gender marker change are on hold while the State Department changes this policy.
Anyone who now submits an application for a change runs the risk of losing access to their passport and documents while their application is being processed.

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:
It will not be retroactive.
Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.
Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed
“They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Texas--with one of the country's strictest abortion bans, highest maternal mortality rates, and the most women without health insurance--faces an "epidemic" of abandoned babies, some being found in ditches and dumpsters wapo.st/3ZXDbks
‘Baby in a dumpster.’ A spate of abandoned newborns unsettles Texas.
Critics say these cases are no coincidence in a state with one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion bans and near-bottom rankings on women’s health care.
