Had a good health day and was able to socialize for a bit.

GPs halting transgender patients’ hormone treatment or refusing prescriptions Investigation: GPs cite lack of expertise or funding as key factors in withdrawals of trans patients’ prescriptions. Billie Gay Jackson and Holly Bancroft report

The UK continues to quietly force trans adults to detransition. It was never about trans youth. Doctors in the UK are withdrawing hormones without warning and cutting tags people off even after decades of being on HRT.

"The Rights of minors are as sacred as the rights of the aged. the difference is altogether in the different age of the two parties and nothing in the nature of the rights. The rights are the same rights."
Thomas Paine - 1795

Trans rights are Trans Children's Rights.

It's dangerous for harm reduction

Trump and Vance have explicitly attacked:
—Haitian Americans
—Latino Americans
—Mexican Americans
—African Americans
—Puerto Rican Americans
—Asian Americans
—Indian Americans
—Muslim Americans
—Jewish Americans
—Female Americans
—LGBTQ Americans
—Americans without children

Adding to this point:

Anti trans lobbyists have said, very clearly, that the sports thing, the puberty blockers for kids thing, are merely rhetorical steps they are currently taking because they believe they're easy to get liberals to concede them.

The CEO of Delta says that having to refund a passenger for a cancelled flight is "government overreach."

These corporations are endlessly greedy, and the next 4 years will be a slue of efforts to swindle consumers out of every penny.

One wild aspect of elected office is way Republicans use LGBTQ politicians as a confessional booth.

Nearly every day in the Montana House, Republicans would apologize for their votes, tell me they wish the culture war would move on, etc.

But rarely would they actually change their vote.

Nikita Hand wins rape civil action against McGregor Follow coverage of today's developments in the civil action taken by Nikita Hand against Conor McGregor and James Lawrence.

Nikita Hand, who today won her civil rape case against Conor McGregor, was forced to move homes earlier this year after a group of balaclava-clad men invaded her property, stabbed her partner, and smashed her windows. This can now be reported. www.rte.ie/news/2024/11...

Well, now I know we made the right decisions

Actually, Meghan, trans people have been using the bathroom for decades. In fact in 2016, the last time Republicans engaged in bathroom panic, people freaked out because trans men went into women's restrooms and suddenly, people discovered that there were way more trans people than they thought.

Rep. Nancy Mace confronted by transgender activist during panel event At an internet summit, Fight for the Future’s Evan Greer stood up and condemned Mace’s anti-trans rhetoric.

I interviewed @evangreer.bsky.social about confronting Nancy Mace at her tech policy panel: “My goal is to call to the progressive tech policy community […] Are we going to try and curry favor with people whose goals are diametrically opposed to human rights?”

Georgia Dismissed All Members of Maternal Mortality Committee After ProPublica Obtained Internal Details of Two Deaths In a letter, the state’s public health commissioner said the action was taken because “confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outs...

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Matt Gaetz Withdraws as Trump's AG Pick Don't credit the Senate. The public did it, polling suggests.

Why not to credit Republican senators with Matt Gaetz's withdrawal

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

I could not sit silent while an elected official who spreads hate & lies that are getting trans people killed pretends to care about the future of the Internet. So I spoke up during Rep Nancy Mace's speech at the Project Liberty Summit & I would do it again www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2024-11...

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety

My photographer friend took this picture of me, and it's still one of the few pictures of myself I genuinely like.
