Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

I finally unfollowed Elizabeth Warren after she posted "Trump wants to tariff your furniture! He wants you to pay too much for furniture!"

I think Democrats are the ones who are distracted.

a thing about playing with outright dishonest propaganda is that it isn’t entirely self-fulfilling. when you lie to people you don’t get to complain when there’s a disconnect between your perception as a movement and public contempt for your actual views. people still think nazis are bad

Why Do Straight People Sexualize Queer People? LGBTQ+ Stereotypes, Sexualization & β€œContagiousness”
YouTube video by Julia Serano Why Do Straight People Sexualize Queer People? LGBTQ+ Stereotypes, Sexualization & β€œContagiousness”

...this video examines the many ways in which the straight majority sexualizes LGBTQIA+ people, the central role that stigma & imagined β€œcontagiousness” plays in their stereotypes of us, plus how past β€œgay rights” activism has largely sidestepped this important issue:

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

MAGA Rep. Slammed After Calling For Trans People To Be Institutionalized To 'Get Them Off The Streets'

let's say absolute best-case scenario happens: none of these laws pass, dems sweep the midterms and completely stonewall anything else.

we still have untold MILLIONS of people convinced that trans people are inherently evil and violent and need to be purged. where the fuck do we go from here

The especially monstrous aspect of this is as trans people we have rights because black women fought for them. I am sure I don't have to repeat that quote

A tweet from Oversight Project (@ItsYourGov) shows a screenshot of an Advocate article. The tweet text says: β€œThis is an example of an element of TIVE rhetoric coming from @Harvard Professor Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_in the @TheAdvocateMag. The notion that opposing Transgender Ideology is a form of violence (β€˜eradication’ here) leads people to justify violence.” The screenshot highlights a quote from Alejandra Caraballo criticizing a Heritage Foundation policy proposal: β€œThey want us all eradicated.”

The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism."

I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.

How federal judges put a trans civil rights lawyer under criminal investigation An "ego driven, petty" attack targets attorneys who fought a transgender care ban in Alabama.

What Alabama did here is entirely reminiscent of what they did to civil rights attorneys in the 1950's. It's history rhyming.

The Democrats in the Senate and Congress did *not* vote for a "murder is bad" resolution as some are claiming, they voted to *honor* the actions and ideology of a Nazi and grant him a national holiday. Let's not let this truth get twisted.

refusing to accept this isn’t just about β€œpurity” or whatever, it’s about effective politics. someone who thinks it’s practical to cave on trans rights misunderstands how politics works, they don’t recognize that public opinion is forged by perseverance

they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your β€œreasonable concerns” about trans rights

Well? Where is that line?

And before you answer these questions for me, answer them for the black people, the native people, the immigrants, and anybody else that does not fit nicely into a WASP box.

How much longer do I need to be not seen, not heard, not even acknowledged as existing to maintain the status quo so that supporting me will not be seen as a weakness?

What parts of myself do I have to excise to impress the worst people on the planet?

Why is it considered a "Purity test" because I don't support a politician who has made it abundantly clear that he does not support me?

I am a trans woman asking you this directly because I really want to know where you stop seeing me as a person and start seeing me as a political prop to be sacrificed on the altar of ambition.

But I do have a few questions for everybody who thinks Newsome is the bee's knees because he is paying some people to troll Trump online.

The Sydney Sweeney and Cracker Barrel faux outrage stuff is silly but also what a sign of the times that they cannot find anything ACTUALLY performatively progressive to complain about in the mainstream.

The speed and completeness of the capitulation really is something to behold
