California experimented with this back in the '80s and it had some horrifying results for trans people.

Omg Trump literally told people to drink bleach

Living as a trans person in this country is knowing in your bones that the government is going to find some new, crueler way to abuse you, and just waiting to see what it is. This experience over and over and over again.

It's incredible to say this given how much hate and oppression trans people absorb in this country, but coming out and transitioning was the biggest blessing in my life, rivaled only by the relationship I've built with my life partner in terms of the unambiguous good it's done.

Sharing this because we all need more good energy.

Because I transitioned I:

1. Changed my career, am more satisfied, make more $$$, and run my own business
2. Ran 2 marathons, climbed a mountain, visited a dozen countries
3. Have more friends and deeper relationships
4. Did my work in therapy

If it's this easy to drive these people to derangement, I invite them to spend 1 (one) day in the world as a trans woman.

So, unsurprisingly, Ben's origin story is based on a lie. There's plenty of research on detransitioning, and no one is being discouraged from doing it.

But if he's so concerned about that, he could report on how the Trump Ad. killed dozens of trans research projects for no reason other than hate.

JAMA Investigation: 26% of Trans and Gender Diverse Youth Have Attempted Suicide The highest attempt rates came out of North America amidst the United States’ war on trans kids.

The latest review from JAMA Pediatrics has uncovered that 26% of trans youth have attempted suicide. That's actual attempts, ideation was even higher.

The trend was most pronounced in North America, where anti-trans laws have been common.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Maybe we're asking for access to the correct restroom because that's just what makes sense? Where exactly does Matt Yglesias think I should pee?

The NY Times is totally going to write a "just asking questions" story where they find some way to give credence to the bizarre idea that taking estrogen makes me a sociopathic murderer.

Every trans person who insists on being seen is a living map for those still finding their way.

There's absolutely no evidence of this whatsoever—and in fact lots of evidence of the opposite—but just watch The New York Times and other legacy media give space to bothsides this, just as they've done with care for trans youth.

What's allowed me to live a successful life is changing my body to align with female bodies and seeing that society recognizes me as a woman.

Yes, gender is mostly socially constructed, but that's very different from believing in an ever-shifting "gender identity."

I really agree with all this, and after having worked with lots of trans people, I think the concept of an ever-shifting gender identity just isn't true to many people's experience and can really hurt people.

We really can't let Republican voters ruin our lives any more.

It's really a travesty that someone who is ignorant enough of trans people to say something like this has been given so much authority over our lives.

This woman knowns absolutely nothing about trans kids and should have never been given any authority. She's killed our children.

We've lost a true legend of documentary film

I feel obliged to point out here that GAC is not a treatment for anything other than gender dysphoria (which it does great at treating). It won't cure your anxiety, depression, grief, etc, you still need to do the work of dealing with those things, although GAC does help make that more attainable.

Maryland health officials warn providers about an upsurge in mumps cases Maryland health officials are warning about an uptick in cases of mumps.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.

Expect more.

This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

This is the same rationale used by every husband who abuses his wife.

Can this myth please die already? Take it from a therapist who works with tons of trans youth (and has many colleagues who also do so), kids aren't ending up in our office because they're mistaking normal gender-nonconformity for being trans.

If Hillary Cass wants to talk about what has made the lives of trans people more difficult, she can start with herself. And she can really just shut up when it comes to talking policing trans people's behavior.

As someone who lived through the Bush years I'm surprised that so many leftists have a warped memory of his presidency. Yes, he was absolutely awful as a leader, but he never would have done the things Trump is doing, and there were numerous real checks on his power.

That's basically a description of Donald Trump

One of the things that brings me life in these dark times is imagining some socially maladjusted TERF writing "A MAN CANT BE A WOMAN!!!1!" in a mumsnet forum while I'm out in Brazil having the time of my life

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

It's really amazing that I went from the most privileged identity (white male hetero) to one of the least (trans female queer) and now I function so much better, am so much happier, make lots more money, am so much more loved and successful

Every now and again, some idiot juvenile hall warden comes up with the idea of injecting cis male inmates with estrogen to keep them calm, and that is widely seen as a crime against humanity. That is exactly what trans people are going through when you force them through an unwanted puberty.

Hard to capture the horror of trans people who had our childhoods taken away now seeing this happen to another generation because hateful and ignorant cis politicians think it will help their polling numbers
