the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans
Kavanaugh also brings up "detransitioners," people who "regret" their decision to transition genders. Like Alito, he cites European countries that are "pulling back" from gender-affirming care for minors, saying it's a "yellow light" or "red light" for the court that Europe is "pumping the brakes."

Too many people think the point of a book is to move your eyes across the page and it drives me fucking bananas

It's entirely bizarre to me the amount of MAGAs going after Veterans disability benefits. 🤷

What the actual???

Accessibility is for everyone, not just because it’s the right thing to do but also because it builds a work culture that respects and supports all kinds of human experiences.

Creating accessible environments creates stronger, more resilient spaces where everyone can thrive.

Everyone else watching Arcane: Cait and Vi are so cute together 😍 did you see the way Vi kabedons her?🫠

Me watching Arcane: Jinx is fully within her rights to murder Caitlyn, and in fact should, in front of Vi if at all possible

If there’s one thing I took away from Arcane it’s that no matter how fascist your girlfriend is, when you’re both White Women, it’s never a deal breaker lol

Fuck Cait lmao

How is having to wear glasses and contacts not considered a disability? Cause if I lose or break these things, it's a wrap. Cannot function the same.
Why does it cost so much to see? Between contacts and glasses 😩

Fantastic book list of memoirs/collections on health/gender, sexuality and disability. Now how do I save a thread?!
Looking for recommendations for memoirs that deal with health and gender (and/or sexuality, disability) that have come out in last couple of years. Updating my masters class syllabus (session/assessment on health narratives) so please let me know if you’ve read a good one recently! #histmed #medhums

...and also, when I shared that thread about the US returning to the Jim Crow South with my mother, she said that people need to stop ignoring the Jim Crow NORTH that she grew up in...

This is why our Detroit teachers taught us the difference between de jure & de facto segregation!

Trans day of remembrance. Don't just focus on those trans people who have been murdered by strangers in public. Also remember the trans people who were denied healthcare, allowed to die in prison, encouraged to kill themselves by their loved ones, buried under the wrong name by their families.

on this trans day of remembrance, i'm thinking about 16-year-old nex benedict who was beaten in a school bathroom in february and died the next day. he should be alive.
A nonbinary teen is dead. The cops aren't helping.
Nex Benedict deserved so much better.

great thread and this has been one of my obsessions in my column, to point people away from the european example and toward the american one.
One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

that the house GOP is covering up evidence of sexual predation by a former member and nominee to higher office while simultaneously smearing a trans woman as a potential predator without any evidence beyond base bigotry are two sides of the same coin
