CALLOUT: I am looking to interview individuals who have sought health care at crisis pregnancy centers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and want to talk about their experience. The center can be located anywhere. If you or someone you know might be interested, please email or send me a DM.

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it

the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

Like obviously this woman in this class is doing a targeted anti-trans grift, we know this but like
As someone who will give even the mildest progressive Christian/Catholic take and get bombarded by radtrads demanding citations the double standard only makes this whole situation more grifty

The whole essay thing is both horrifying and fascinating to me on a bunch of different levels, but one of those is the fact that conservative/right wing Christians absolutely do know how to demand and ask for citations…because they do it any time more progressive Christians say…anything progressive

Also, to be clear, when a trans instructor at OU is being punished and targeted for quite fairly grading a terrible essay, it’s bizarre to see academics online debating the rubrics.

That’s…not the problem.

There is a certain kind of Catholic convert who thinks they are more Catholic than the Pope.

Begging scholars who want to be allies of trans communities to stop publishing in Archives of Sexual Behaviour. It’s been more harmful to trans communities than the fucking Linacre Quarterly.

My father absolutely had his priorities when I was a kid and on Sundays it was absolutely “post-church fried chicken” and honestly I respect the shit out of that 😂

My father also deeply used his Protestantism to our advantage on Sundays because once my sister and I were old enough that we didn’t need both parents managing us quite as much he would dip out of mass during communion and get the car so quote “we can get to the fried chicken before the Methodists”

We will never know what they would have done with the name Margaret because I was a High Risk Pregnancy and their OB told them hey maybe don’t have any more babies but I like to think it would have been an equally obnoxious double first name

2) my mother had a grand vision of having three daughters named Mary Elizabeth, Mary Katherine, and Mary Margaret. They had my sister, who is Mary Elizabeth, and then three years later had me and my dad had to tell my mom “I love you but I cannot have multiple children named Mary it’s too Catholic”

1) my dad considered converting to Catholicism when he married my mom, and came very close but ultimately chose not to. Why?
“Well I just couldn’t get over some guy in a funny hat in Italy telling me what to do”

Nothing will ever be funnier to me than the fact that my father, who could best be described as “generically Protestant” has had precisely two hangups with Catholicism in his life, one when he married my mom and one when my mom was pregnant with me

Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

Anti-Trans Hate Group Genspect Loses Its CME Certification, Michigan State Medical Society Says The for-credit lessons included a Moms for Liberty-sponsored panel as well as a lecture from a renowned anti-trans activist on how to politically organize against “gender ideology.”

1. Following EITM reporting, Michigan State Medical Society has said that anti-trans, SPLC-designated hate group Genspect has lost their CME credentials, as well as the parent organization that was supporting it.

Incredible reporting by staff writer S. Baum.

An aside from the rest of the hell world but is anyone else getting a lot of ads for “waist cinching aprons” this holiday season because I am not a fan of the implications that this is apparently now a big selling feature for aprons……

I see a lot of people speculating about how Alice died and I am asking you to...please not do that. If her family wants to share information about that on their own time, they will, but the speculation and sometimes outright conspiracy theories are actually really upsetting for them to see.

Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes? plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

The problem with elite institutions has never been leftists or wokeness or the coddling of the American mind or whatever other asinine thing conservatives drone on about. The problem with elite institutions has always been powerful, wealthy, elite people.

Yeah I’m not taking any more shit from these assholes on my work

This is understandable for a lot of reasons, including the fact that the term “gender ideology” has deep roots in JPII’s Theology of the Body and cannot be divorced from that theological background

Working on a blog and honestly there is something deeply telling about the fact that the way the Catholic hierarchy and the “trans ideology war on science” bros both misunderstand trans existence in almost identical ways

Being trusted by CFI is not the defense he thinks it is

A screenshot of a tweet from the FIRE organization (@TheFIREorg). The tweet reads: “A federal circuit court has struck down an Ohio school district policy forcing students to use classmates’ preferred pronouns, echoing arguments in FIRE’s friend-of-the-court brief. Free speech protects both the right to speak and the right to remain silent, even for students.” Below the text is a partial image of a legal document showing dense paragraphs discussing First Amendment rights, student speech, and court precedents. The bottom of the tweet shows the timestamp “2:56 PM · Nov 12, 2025 • 63K Views.”

Here's FIRE bragging about how the court adopted their arguments on how bullies have a constitutional right to bully trans children.

If you sit at a table with nine people you know to be Nazis, there are ten Nazis at the table.

This is about Jeffrey Epstein and so many other things too.

Very little triggers the autism motor in my brain more than the concept of “Catholic gender performance” someday I will write something in depth on the topic

Plenty to criticize about the Church’s and the USCCB’s approach to gender, GAC, and healthcare we don’t need to go “hahaha dress = girl”

Monday’s free post on Transing Boundaries will be about gender affirming care and the USCCB but for now my free comm’s hot take is that if your strategy is to make a weird gender essentialist take about fashion and priests wearing “dresses” you are not doing the trans allyship you think you are

I continue to absolutely DREAD this book and the damage it’s going to do, I feel like I’ve been trying to come up with a plan to counter it since it was announced

Detransition is key to politicians’ anti-trans agenda. But what is it really like? The 19th spoke with two detransitioners who feel harmed and used by the Trump administration, which has positioned itself as a protector of those who detransition.

Detransition is being used as political fodder by the Trump admin and its allies to support extreme anti-trans policies.

In the process, the reality of detransition is lost. For our new series, I spoke with detransitioners who feel harmed by the Trump admin. Their stories are complex and important.
