Deeming, grover, wing, et al, will contrive to destroy this doctor, with a barrage of concocted reaons, and with the help of writers like baxendale, part of a well-oiled rw hate-machine they will be hailed for their cruelty as if it were heroism. It is inevitable.
I feel genuinely bleak today.
and agency) The people who destroyed me did it for sport mostly. Because they could. Because there was no-one else in the room willing to stand up for me. Anti-T people are fanatics, consumed with hate, and nothing will stop them until we're all dead.
Dr. Upton has received. The harassment, abuse, and deeply unsettling insinuation around her beggars belief. Since coming out, I've never known a life without violence and hate, so much so that I barely go out any more, (only if lexi is with me), have no income to speak (which prohibits healthcare
Honestly, some of the comments are the foulest, the most incendiary, and fanatical I've seen. Genuinely bleak. I worry for this woman, for all of us. I was forced to leave both work and subsequently medical school because of my colleagues' bigotry. That was anonymous, without the level of coverage
A headline with adjacent picture regarding a trans woman who happens to be a doctor, and how she is now working in Australia.
This is shameful. Upton did nothing wrong. She's trans. That's it. The commentary on X is as vile you could imagine, with the usual suspects, including current sitting mp deeming, trafficking their usual hall of mirrors fantasies to one another, full of hate and invented outrage. Disgraceful. 1/

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.
The judge also blocked "any similar policy."
Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

A bunch of local terf bigots have identified where Dr. Upton is now working and are publicly encouraging their hate cult members to harass her employers and place of work. Incredible.
When trans people and allies tell you these people are fanatical faeces caked scum, we mean it.
LOL.

She funds hate and apartheid, from a fucking social media account, while gaslighting and cry-bullying. Defending her over her conteived cover story is a garbage stance.
legislation, racism, gaza. She's pushed replacement theory & collective punishment myths, posed no opposition to protest curtailment, etc. She's a narcissistic wealth-hoarder with a fabricated origin story, impacting legislation & public opinion in the same way musk does. They're the same faeces.
JQR has quoted the likes of schellenbwkerger and wakefield, engages with supremacists like wright, cheered on trump over T abuse, but utterly fails to use her platform to do anything about his other human rights abuses, let alone condemn the uk govt impacts on benefits, disability support, refugee
Oh, absolutely go and get fucked.

Page 1 of a legal Judgment document from the United States District Court, District of Oregon for Case No. 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on 04/18/26. The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV. Item 3 states the Court holds unlawful, sets aside, and vacates the "Declaration of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services RE: Safety, Effectiveness and Professional Standards of Care for Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Children and Adolescents".
Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.
Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics.

No surprise at the cast of ghouls involved in writing that report. Grifting ideologues, supremacist zealots, psuedo-science quacks...but mostly hate-filled grifters.

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.
