We need a matriarchy run by lesbians with clipboards and earpieces who do not take any shit.

The evidence lives in Canada

I thought that was remarkable under trump 1 - their bitter unhappiness didn't seem to decrease that much. And just as true today if not more so.

Yeah that was my thought - if he suddenly thinks the nuclear code orders a diet Coke, the 25th?

The government changed my passport gender marker.

I have NO documentation stating I'm male. Not my birth certificate, driver's license, medical records. I'm intersex, so I don't even know what a DNA test might say.

Which means I CAN'T prove my passport isn't a fraud to any foreign government.

For a Boise family of medical providers, Idaho criminal trans bathroom ban was the last straw This year, Idaho Legislature approved trans bathroom ban, forcing teachers to out trans kids to parents, and re-banning LGBTQ+ pride flag displays by government

The Devitts have seen the Idaho Legislature and the governor approve a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills in recent years. Michael and Dr. Angie Devitt, both medical professionals, watched their trans daughter, Eve, testify against a bill years ago that outlawed gender-affirming care for minors. But this year’s criminal transgender bathroom ban — described by advocates as the most extreme in the nation for extending to private businesses — was the couple’s last straw. So early this month, Michael Devitt notified patients that his practice, Focus Physical Therapy, would shut down at the end of August as his family prepared to move out of Idaho. “Obviously, this law is a disaster for families like ours,” he wrote in a letter. “We can no longer take a road trip across our beloved state, or even enjoy a family night out at a restaurant, or a movie, without running the risk of Eve being charged and sent to a prison merely for using the facilities.”

A family of doctors in Idaho with a teenage trans daughter describes their decision to close their practice and leave the state after the governor signed a law last month threatening her with a felony charge and five years in prison if she uses any women's restroom

It's so messed up. It isn't just you. I can't elaborate a lot here, but I've never felt so repulsive in my life. I used to never be bothered that much because I always thought how guys like Ben Franklin and Diego Rivera got lots of play and I have a certain cockiness but it seems to be missing now.

Wow that's as nuts as the trump followers who insisted that trump is not anti - trans (before the election) and when my spouse showed how much the campaign spent on ads they attacked my spouse saying there were no links and called them stupid.

Is this a joke? I hate that I don't know anymore.

Does he have a position on trans issues?

The EEOC Is No Longer Protecting Federal Workers From Gender Identity Discrimination Recent decisions mean the agency will no longer process claims regarding harassment, the denial of bathroom use, or discrimination in hiring, firing, or promotion on the basis of gender identity.

The EEOC has officially reversed its decades-long position that workers are protected from gender identity discrimination by federal anti-discrimination law and says trans people don't exist www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I Live in Colorado. Conversion Therapy Destroyed My Life A Supreme Court decision could overturn my state’s conversion therapy ban. That would be tragic for many LGBTQ+ kids.

“So when I learned that the Supreme Court ruled that this kind of messaging [could] be protected, that adults [may] be free to tell children that queerness is sickness, dangerous, shameful, or sinful...I hear the beginning of a tragedy for kids like me.”

I don't know the answer to that technically, as I only saw the issue years later as the parties were dividing assets and debts and the loan was either a debt or not. But if not it sure seemed very easy to get a huge sum of free cash and not a lot of oversight. Also went to very wealthy people.

I've seen at least three divorces where these massive loans (never paid back) basically just made them rich. Business might have had a little dip but would have been fine without.

Wow. I had no idea. How horrific.

And AI is actively hurting litigants. It has caused complete losses - two in just 3-4 weeks. I've done this for 18 years and cannot remember any losses of this type in all that time except perhaps with vexatious litigants.

I am an attorney for the trial court and AI is making my job insufferable. It's not just the confidently hallucinatory cites. It that but more so cites that don't say what they claim (even to statutes). And volumes of paper submitted on simple motions with little or no real lawyering.

They Detransitioned. They’re Still Trans Allies. — Assigned Lucy Kartikasari was only 19 when she underwent mandatory sterilization as a part of her transition to male. Eight years later, she started detransitioning.

Detransition is often used as a cudgel against the transgender community, but most people who detransition actually remain trans supportive.

Today on Assigned, @madisyn-writes.bsky.social spoke with three detransitioners who support trans people.

I appreciated this - the details of how strange it is sometimes to be embodied, with our brain things and fluctuations and how sometimes we find someone to just be with us in a particular moment. TY!

A New Law Voids the IDs of Transgender Kansans. It Also Threatens Their Voting Access. - Bolts Almost as soon as Kansas lawmakers passed a new law targeting transgender people in late February, state officials started invalidating some people’s driver’s licenses without warning. The law, which ...

Trans erasure is also voter suppression.

Trump administration to end civil rights settlements for trans students The Education Department is rescinding agreements that required schools to stop discriminating against transgender students. The agency will continue to investigate sex discrimination.

The Trump administration is ending civil rights settlements that aimed to protect transgender students from discrimination, the Education Department said.

The agency is rescinding agreements with Taft College and five local school districts.

I've been expecting this for years, in part because my mom always told me how her father HATED Catholics. I don't know shit but it felt like MAGA was happy to use the educated Catholics for judges, etc. But it seemed inevitable that at some point they would purge.

Or sprinkling vs immersion

Oh please do!!!!

Happy TDOV! That's all I could post over on FB today, but I did it because I have a lot of people over there that might have no clue. I did it through gritted teeth. I realized how soon I may be able to leave and this opened a crack on the overwhelming grief that really hit started with the 1st EO.

A completely baffling decision today that seems to directly state that a medical professional’s “free speech” is more important than a patient’s life and safety.

Far as I can see this decision means it might now literally be perfectly legal for a therapist to tell you to kill yourself.

Exactly

I just bought it!
