this is totalitarianism, basically. it’s almost eerie how much this is an open expression of what arendt described as the essence of the totalitarian mindset.

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.

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor.

This is grotesque fear-mongering.

NEW: During a week at immigration court in Connecticut, I didn't see ICE once. During a day at the Federal Plaza in New York City, ICE was everywhere.

Many CT immigration cases are transferred to NYC court, where ICE is far more active
It’s much more common to see federal officers waiting in hallways and lingering outside courtrooms in Manhattan.

Americans are tired of what coastal elites have been shoving down their throats, so I think elevating fresh voices like the vice president, the head of one of the most valuable companies on the planet, a Times columnist, and a Jeffrey Epstein associate who teaches at Harvard is a risk worth taking.

Got a follow-up to this story coming out tomorrow that I’m excited to share with y’all.
NEW: I spent a week in Connecticut’s only immigration court, where thousands of people each year learn if they can stay in the United States.

The court doesn’t allow photography, so I took an illustrator.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

My mom is a Vietnamese immigrant and on her immigration papers, she has her name written the Vietnamese way (Last Middle First.) On her Social Security card and driver's license, she has it the European way (First Middle Last.) That would likely be enough for Republicans to strip her citizenship.
What this will mean, in practice, that if you are deemed an enemy of the administration, they will pore through your citizenship application paperwork looking for some reason to retroactively disqualify you.
