Stella O'Malley was literally recorded expressing her desire to subject trans teens to conversion therapy in her own voice. If her case is going to be successful the court are going to have to flatly negate reality which is a big ask.
Leonie O'Dowd's article however *does* mention that 100% verifiable fact & that seems to be high on the list of reasons why O'Malley wishes to suppress it. www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...
Do you think Stella O'Malley might sue me if I pointed out that Genspect is listed by the highly respected Southern Poverty Law Centre as an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group?
Genspect is an anti-trans hate group.
Is Stella O'Malley going to sue me too?

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today”

Stella O'Malley, with this High Court action, may finally have bitten off more than she can chew. Suppression of an experienced therapist's compassionate &well-evidenced difference of opinion seems a curious hill to choose to die on & risks a big Streisand effect!

Of course mark doesn't mention that Genspect has been deemed a hate group by the SPLC. Paywalls removed article here: archive.is/2025.08.03-0...
Transgender people have been asked about pornography and their sex lives when accessing healthcare from the National Gender Service.
They said this experience was traumatic and upsetting.
Experts said questions like these are “completely inappropriate”.

A new investigation has highlighted traumatic experiences and long wait times with the National Gender Service for transgender people seeking gender-affirming healthcare.

📢 Funding & support for trans groups during the US funding freeze
🏳️⚧️The US funding cuts are impacting trans movements worldwide. This is a difficult and uncertain time for so many of us. TGEU is here to support you, our community in Europe and Central Asia, through this crisis. 🧵👇 1/3
What this piece lets out of the bag is, whatever is driving the far/right's hatred of trans people it is absolutely, positively not a desire to protect women from sexual violence. They are happy to celebrate a perpetrator of sexual violence, so long as he shares their hatred of trans people.

This absolutely! At @transhealthie.bsky.social we hear from so many people who feel that they don’t have the requisite skills, knowledge, or experience to get involved. The reality is that anyone can be an activist, an organiser, a creator, a builder. You don’t need a special background to do it.
Trump's sports ban EO is now live. You can find it here. I'm going to, as I have done in previous nights, go line by line and explain it for all of you here.

Amidst the chaos, at least we millennials have Lady Gaga to ground us in our queer emo roots — back when the most pressing concern was perfecting the Bad Romance choreo in our living rooms.
This is the energy we need from our doctors in Ireland too. We don’t even have policies restricting access to trans healthcare, yet I can count on one hand the GPs willing to provide it. They’re afraid of getting sued.
Irish doctors: We need bravery and resilience like this. We need you to step up.
If you're reeling from Trump's ongoing attacks, please check out my latest piece about what trans people are up against and how we (as in, all of us, including doctors and clinicians) can resist these assaults. Includes commentary from @dreanyc123.bsky.social and @deanspade.bsky.social.
Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people. Panel 1: A grayscale stick person is at a counter, holding a pill bottle. A presaturation green person is approaching. Green: "Pharmacist, I would like to turn green." Pharmacist: "Ok here you go." Green: "What? Just like that?" Pharmacist: "Yeah?" Panel 2: The green person cautiously picks up the bottle. Green: "Ok how much-" Pharmacist: "Nothing, it's free." Green: "For real?" Pharmacist: "Yeah" Panel 3: Zoom in on the green person, who says: "...Thanks, but something about this is activating my fight or flight response. You haven't even asked a single inappropriate question about my childhood"

1. Yesterday, Trump released a sweeping executive order designed to end transgender youth care. It uses unconstitutional means and dubious interpretations of old laws to threaten hospitals, parents, and providers.
I go line by line to help you make sense of it.

Last week I updated my mega-post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" with new links to analysis and evidence.
I have no illusions about the current political landscape. It will likely take years to undo Cass' act of sabotage. But I am in this fight for the long haul and hope you are too.
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
My latest article is up on, it looks like there's over 2000 people waiting for healthcare from the self-named National Gender with an estimated almost 13 year wait for those referred today.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.
When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.
The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.
It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.
Happy Birthday, Angela Davis!

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.
“Defending” women while banning abortion, limiting recourse for pregnancy discrimination, engaging in a campaign to deport families, seeking to revoke birthright citizenship. Don’t be deputized to enact their cruelty.
