Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

The Rapture Lobby: Christian Zionism and America’s Holy War in Iran A network tied to Christian Zionism and Christian nationalism is pushing an apocalyptic worldview into U.S. power, where officials like Pete Hegseth frame war with Iran as part of God’s plan. Backed b...

An apocalyptic strain of Christian Zionism is shaping U.S. power, where officials like Pete Hegseth frame war with Iran as part of God’s plan. Backed by Christians United for Israel, it positions mass violence as aligned with prophecy.

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 think we need more upset at transmisogyny actually

A tweet that reads "You don't have to be that gung-ho on trans rights to realize that a world where girls' genitals need to be inspected before they can play any sport is worse for girls than a world where once in a while there's a trans girl on a girls' team."

Anything that becomes sufficiently popular will be labeled cringe by knee-jerk hipsters who just have to sneer at it to make themselves feel better

Thinking this was a "strong argument" is an indictment of the American educational system

Fuck you

You can just choose not to share every trash opinion

Like you can just do that and the world will be a materially better place

Classmates subjected a young teen to “relentless” homophobic bullying. Then tragedy struck. - www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/04/clas...

At least in a lot of cases that is a phase ppl grow out of! Anne Lawrence has been hurting her own community by pushing AGP for decades. Matters of personal identity run deeper than political ideology

100%, rightwing propaganda and pseudoscience about porn and sex being """addicting""" and dangerous is everywhere online. Its just assumed to be factual, even by many liberals. So frustrsting

the ceasefire lasted a whole 10 minutes

Ahh today's edition of the NYT game "Wtf is this and how will they make it about trans people?"

This is the most Brianna-Wu-but-for-cis-lesbians coded brainrot piece

Delusional cope

She's completely brainrotted. "Don't worry, Im still a good republican! Ive learned nothing at all!"

Also, published in Queer Majority? Gallup has LGBT rightwingers at 2% at most

New California Law Would Open Up Conversion Therapy Practitioners to Malpractice Lawsuits California's novel solution to the Supreme Court's rejection of LGBTQ conversion therapy bans, which could be replicated elsewhere, is a law that would allow for greater civil damages through malpract...

“The law brings such damages in line with those seeking civil damages from childhood sexual assault”

It’s not a perfect solution, or even an actual solution in terms of protecting from harm, but if the intent is to make clear that the damage done is at least comparable, it’s a start.

*Yeah* and like genuinely sad. It seems like they found an answer on 4chan and just bonded with it and can't see anything else. It evokes in me the same frustration and pity I feel when I think of Anne Lawrence

1/2:

My only access to USENET was through the museum where I worked, and the computer access was in a public place. I didn't know much about trans USENET and would have been afraid to find out more.

But I was on the Transexual Menace e-mail list, and we had private e-mail-based conversations.

Understand the LGBTQIA+ news: What the Scott Mills scandal tells us about the BBC – and its future What it would take to reduce the 48,000 people wait list for transgender healthcare in the UK?

80% of Americans support equality for Trans+ people across healthcare, human rights, education and work, survey by @hrc.org finds

It is wild to me how badly even affirming Christians are at this. If they are not positioning themselves as mediators between the church and queer ppl, they are constantly trying to find something to object to in queer life, just so they can feel like they can feel a part of the "sensible" middle

"Call me a conservative."

Weird flex, but ok. You are still not listening to the ppl you claim to listen to, and violating the principles you laid down in your book. Why are you proud of this?

A yellow brown book cover features two abstract silhouettes exchanging a rainbow heart. The author is David P. Gushee and the title is Changing Our Mind

Here is David Gushee's book (2017) on combating Christian hate for LGBTQ ppl.

Unlike some others, Gushee's book has actual useful things in it. Its just that he ends by arguing everyone who isn't married should be celibate. Oh, and trans is cool so long as you pick a binary gender and stick to it.

I really don't have words anymore. When a system is this unjust, words don't work. Only bricks do.
