If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Breaking: House Republicans pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to criminalize doctors that provide gender-affirming care for trans kids. Her bill imposes jail time penalties up to 10 years. Now, it's headed to the Senate where it is not likely to advance as it would need 7 Democrats to sign on

At the risk of sounding stupid this kind of thing is why I post about writing porn when I write porn. When they slam the Internet shut on porn it's sex and sexuality they're trying to stifle; they're foreclosing on the possibility of adults being free people, and it behooves antifascists to say so.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

the abandonment of public education to conservative interests has been disastrous. i went to high school in texas in the 2000s, and maybe one teacher out of five wasn't a proud bigot of some stripe or other. of course it has only gotten worse.
