Can we stop playing these games and just admit that white progressives reserve the term POC specifically for non-white people with whom they are ideologically aligned?

Well wouldn’t you know, a white person is gate-keeping POC identity with respect to a man who is clearly not white-passing.

The best part is that Wray is also a Trump pick. You just happen to prefer the white guy!

If we’re putting an identity spin on it, y’all are mad that Wray, a white guy, is making way for Trump’s nominee, a POC.

High healthcare costs in the U.S. are indeed multifaceted, and denying that is as banal and mindless as complaining about sports.

Is it possible to oppose any form of trans advocacy without being considered transphobic?

Too early to say. Bluesky is full of literal sociopaths (see singal freakout) who will be hostile to any attempt to monetize. The current/ensuing freakout will drive people back to Twitter.
Very much a “grass is greener” situation.

The only thing I’ve learned on bluesky is that the people here are somehow more deranged and enamored with their own brand of misinformation than Twitter.

The slate article has aged poorly, making now debunked claims such as the idea that puberty blockers are little more than a “pause button” that can be discontinued to let puberty continue unimpeded. This is objectively false!

Yes, and so far we have evidence of trans-activists influencing medical bodies in the US while the rest of the civilized, evidence-based world moves away from such practices.

You claimed that legislatures in the countries I listed were responsible for the reversals on gender affirming care, an assertion that was completely made up. I don’t think you are informed on this issue, I think you’re just making it up as you go along.

You’re misinformed, which is why reading Jesse’s work might be useful. These weren’t legal reversals, they were reversals from the respective health authorities (NHS in the UK, for example). So, not political at all. These reversals were driven by medical bodies.

The people pointing out that evidence supporting gender affirming care is lacking and what does exist has serious quality and methodological issues.
Reversals: The UK, Sweden, Finland, Norway, New Zealand.
It’s related to Jesse because it’s a big part of his beat.

These accusations go both ways and the reversal of most western health authorities on gender affirming care lends a lot of credence to their argument.

His reporting is actually quite good. I think people would have more informed opinions about youth gender dysphoria and its treatments if they read him.
