Just my two cents as a person who regularly deals with necrotic digits/limbs… I would advise getting that checked out just to be on the safe side. Tissue necrosis is no joke and is treatable up to a point but always better sooner than later…

may 4th is such a special day to see the nation and really the world come together to share their love for a classic piece of pop culture, the 5-4 podcast

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points.

They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make.

I have offered to go on their show to talk.

I’m offering again now.

Talk to a freaking trans person.

Transgender athletes’ rights was opposed by those who viewed female athletes as undeserving, study finds

The researchers also found that adherence to traditional standards of femininity—such as prioritizing thinness and attractiveness—was a strong predictor of opposition to transgender athlete inclusion. For instance, respondents who endorsed the idea that women should be thin or that women’s muscles were less attractive were less supportive of transgender athletes competing in alignment with their gender identity.

Negative attitudes toward homosexuality were another powerful predictor of opposition to transgender athletes’ rights. Participants who expressed homophobic views, such as agreeing with statements like “I would be disappointed if I found out my child was homosexual,” were significantly more likely to support sex testing and oppose transgender inclusion.

Encouraging step… let’s take it across the finish line please 🙏🏻

Trans Healthcare Is Under Siege. These People Are Fighting Back. A nonprofit is trying to get the FDA to approve crucial methods of gender-affirming care. Its battle will be even more important in Trump’s second term.

The Nation [Jan 17] Research Institute for Gender Therapeutics [rigt.org] headed by long-time stalwart Jamison Green seeking FDA approval for GAH to counter Right claims it's "off-label." Nearly _every_ med has off-label uses but Right weaponizes public ignorance of this so off-label=experimental.

ALERT: Mahmoud v. Taylor is going to be a big (and likely bad) case.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is representing the plaintiffs suing the school district. Here is the question they presented to the court, review of which was granted today.

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.

Montana Republican Claims Bathroom Ban Is Needed Because Some Trans Women Like Other Women The statement raises the question as to what the representative thinks about lesbians in bathrooms.

1. Yesterday, Montana's Judiciary Committee voted to advance a bathroom ban for trans adults along party lines.

The rationale a Republican used? That some trans women are attracted to women.

It begs the question how he feels about lesbians in bathrooms.

GOP-led House passes bill to ban trans students from girls' sports The vote came days after SCOTUS took up an appeal in a challenge to ACA-required coverage of an HIV prevention drug. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

NEW: Between today's anti-trans House vote and last Friday's SCOTUS decision to hear an appeal over the anti-gay challenge to PrEP, as broad as that case has gotten, it is clear just how difficult the path ahead could be for queer people.

I had a walk today and thought about the relationship between civility, discomfort, and abuse.

Some of you know that “civility” is one of my hard “ugh” triggers. This thread will explain why.
