Eastern APA people: come hang!

Yep, that’s MAGALOGIC tbh

It’s almost like HRT is more humane and cost effective for treating gender dysphoria than torture and counseling 🤯

@floresophize.bsky.social & @n1c0n1c0.bsky.social nail how words get caught up in political struggles and how dominant culture uses that to do its thing.

the zine is getting around out there. make your own pass them around 🖨️💜

Restoring the biological truth that sex is messy and complex, and we are all better off when medicine, science and social policy reflect this.

Dear Professor Byrne

My brave coworkers at MIT put together a statement re: Alex Byrne's confirmation that he co-authored the HHS report recommending against gender-affirming care for trans youth (www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...)

Please read the letter and sign at: dearprofessorbyrne.wordpress.com

Supporting trans kids is so easy when you’re in their actual life. The bullies in the White House and Supreme Court think the State should be used to destroy them instead. Fuck them. We will find ways to support them anyway ✨

Blocker bans are abuse.

“Trans life is the life of Wittgenstein’s lions, one’s words forever falling dead born from the mouth.” 💯🔥 Thanks for your amazing contribution 💕

⚡️ OUT NOW ⚡️

When I left the discipline, I was one of two trans femmes of color with a PhD in philosophy and I could not see, or even imagine, a department that would hire me. Leaving ended up being on of my best decisions, an opportunity to leave an abusive relationship on my own terms.

“You would think philosophy would aim to make trans people more safe. But chasers always shoot themselves in the foot.” WE LAUNCH TOMORROW💥

#beingtransinphilosophy

sounds gay I’m in

Trans experience dictated by trans people in philosophy. I know! Kinda revolutionary 🎯🥹. Can’t wait for this zine to launch ⚙️💎

Life of the Mother When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, doctors warned that women would die, but lawmakers who passed state abortion bans didn’t listen. The worst consequences are now becoming clear.

Making America Great Again by killing women and scapegoating trans women as the real threat. Patriarchy is the gender ideology we all need protection from.

Screenshot of XML information open in notepad, showing “Alex Byrne” under the creator tag..

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne.

The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews.

Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.
