For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.

Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

we have to abolish ICE
ICE continues to assault us.

We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

I agree that when the trolley is bearing down it is ethical to pull the lever to kill one instead of five but I'm gonna ask why you spent all morning tying six people to the tracks that is a weird hobby

Doesn't matter if Jimmy Kimmel is a wanker.

If the US government is silencing comedians for joking about their favorite podcaster then you're in full blown authoritarianism territory

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

There's nothing wrong with joking about a bad thing that happened to a bad person who explicitly stated he wants to live in a world where that *exact* bad thing happens to other people.

I don't think Lindsay Ellis was even considered part of "breadtube" but she's managed to produce a better video on the subject of genocide than any of the big names of that era are even willing to attempt.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.

These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

I’m used to being stared at or whispered about in bathrooms and other spaces. It has happened more times than I can count. But this was different.
