Paging @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social now that he has lost an excuse for betraying trans New Yorkers

Kelty joined the Save the Forest Service movement! 💚
Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults.
All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

We got SaveUSFS.org updated! L.L.Bean has joined the movement to protect the U.S. Forest Service. Welcome to the right side of history.
1. Yesterday, a major case was heard in the Colorado Supreme Court: whether Colorado Children's hospital can discriminate against trans youth patients due to Trump threats.
Colorado justices seemed skeptical, though divided.
Their ruling could have a profound impact.
AOC: President Trump—I want to be clear—not only threatened genocide, he is continuing to threaten genocide against the Iranian people. That is his main point of “leverage” in this situation. It is a war crime. It is abhorrent, and it is also illegal.
1. In a massive defeat of anti-trans politics, Viktor Orbán, one of the most autocratic and anti-LGBTQ+ figures in Europe, has fallen to Péter Magyar.
This comes after JD Vance traveled to Hungary to campaign for Orbán and decry trans people in a speech.

With Virginia on board, the National Popular Vote Compact is now enacted in states worth 222 electoral votes. Here's what that means.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
(I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)
A U.S. map showing that over the past 30 days, almost the entire country was significantly hotter than usual. Nearly all states are colored dark red, which indicates that maximum temperatures were 8 degrees Fahrenheit or more above the historical average. Only a few tiny areas near the northern borders show normal or cooler temperatures.
This is bad, but also, "laughs in Missoula"
A study from Finland has been used to cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth.
But Finland never offered gender affirming care.
Perhaps invasive, adversarial, fruitless years of assessment harm trans youth? New opinion by @evanurquhart.bsky.social:

Rich of the New York Times to talk about being anti-science.
1. Mississippi has become the latest state to pass a ban on transgender people's drivers license changes.
The bill also has a provision targteting out of state drivers licenses for immigrants.
The bill, which now awaits Republican Gov. Tate Reeves' signature.

Dr. Kaltiala has now responded to our criticisms of her study through Gender Clinic News, an anti-trans blog whose author describes transgender healthcare as "gender ideology."
Her response is notable less for what it addresses than for what it avoids entirely.
My counter-response:
1. A new study claims trans care worsens mental health. It is fatally flawed.
It didn't measure mental health—it measured psych visits.
Even visits that stemmed from mandatory checkins, surgical pre-psych evals, or pre-treatment that was classified as post.

1. I've written a few times about Mamdani and what he can do for trans people to uphold his promises. But there are disingenuous people who apparently do not read articles, so I figured I would lay out his power and what other trans journos want him to do here directly and what is in his power.
Gupta: Medicare and Medicaid are federal programs, He is now saying that these are the responsibilities of the states.
That means that purple and red states are likely going to struggle a lot more to provide basic healthcare to their Medicare and Medicaid recipients than blue states
1. An incredible bill is moving fast in Maryland protecting transgender students.
It would apply to ANY "program or activity," and would even include private schools. This would include sports, bathrooms, and more.
It even has a private right of action.

What fucking win? One fired Nazi, replaced with a different Nazi, bent on trans genocide.
The worst anti-trans AG ever was just fired, Pam Bondi.
But you just know they’re going to replace her with like Ken Paxton or something.
Don’t let this go by unnoticed
