with this #podcast or if you hear others referencing it, Azeen Ghorayshi or the NYT. Grievously, the NYT anti-trans coverage - rather than the opinions of major medical orgs or trans youth, themselves - was used for discussion of precedent at the Supreme Court during #skrmetti, and Kennedy’s
Thrilled this is live!!
Big thanks to @evanurquhart.bsky.social of @assignedmedia.org for the opportunity to — in the wake of #skrmetti especially — get real re: psychiatry and trans/queer people ... more generally ... and with TOTAL respect to all, who may like or dislike shrinks/psych meds, etc.
in america (trans) healthcare-wise fwiw:
we largely pay out of pocket for all medical costs. medical debt is *killing* people, all that's not covered/the deductibles etc. beyond insurance premiums. supposing one has insurance. supposing a given insurer would even cover #trans care — pre- #skrmetti
In the new episode of What The Trans?!, the US SC cites the pile of lies called the Cass Review in the Skrmetti decision. :vomit:
On a more positive note, several excellent interviews about the toilet/loo police in the UK Parliament, sex as a trans man, and the history of LGBT+ zines […]
It's been a pretty rough Pride Month over at the Supreme Court! I wrote about what just happened and offer some suggestions about how you can help. It's time for allies to become accomplices, y'all.

Great interview with Chase Strangio the ACLU lawyer who argued the plaintiffs’ case in #Skrmetti. Strangio efficiently and easily debunks the right-wing Justices’ reasoning by pointing to their use of fake science and their ignoring of facts and history.

Must listen for all who want to understand more about the bad faith application of law and baseless arguments that drove #SCOTUS to make their devastatingly harmful decision in the #Skrmetti case.

#SCOTUS opinion on US v. #Skrmetti struck a blow against #transgender rights, at least in the short term. Long term, I believe it represents the fall of #conservative anti-Queer rhetoric.

Please read this important piece by @leahlitman.bsky.social regarding #Skrmetti ruling
All should read, especially my friends working to protect #LGBTQ rights.
Justice Clarence Thomas laughs at a bow-tie dinner.
Justice Clarence Thomas also concurred separately, reveling in a ruling that allows the religious zealots in control of a state government to override both medical science and family wishes.

With the #Skrmetti decision, Brett Kavanaugh might be able to answer the question Senator Harris posed at his confirmation hearing

Since denying trans people healthcare or denying the right to abortion isn't sex discrimination, let's outlaw Viagra - not all men have erectile dysfunction and the state has a vested interest in protecting the public against the serious cardiovascular side effects of these medications. #Skrmetti

You never "gotta hand it to" a U.S. Supreme Court Justice but it was brave of one of them to be the first man to write the term "clitoromegaly" into a Supreme Court ruling when his name is literally Cl. Thom. #skrmetti 🏳️⚧️ 🙃
Pls read "brave" in mega-airquotes. This post is not meant cliterally.

Statement from @aclunm.bsky.social, Tewa Women United, and other orgs on U.S. v #Skrmetti:
"Gender-affirming care saves lives. We know that placing barriers between young people and medically necessary care deprives them of the chance to grow, thrive, and live authentically...

As an international human rights organisation that challenges the persecution of LGBTQ+ people globally, we unequivocally condemn the decision of the #SCOTUS in United States v. #Skrmetti on #gender-affirming care as a violation of human rights and a dangerous global signal shorturl.at/tqmoS
The right wing of #Scotus told parents, doctors and trans youth you don’t have equal rights with their #Skrmetti ruling. Did your Member of Congress speak up? Tell me if they did or didn’t, we should keep track.
#Transrights rallies around the country this weekend and beyond. #transnews #genderaffirmingcare #skrmetti #scotus #trans #protecttranskids
The Supreme Court has held that a Tennessee state law banning puberty blockers and hormone therapy for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
