Two New Studies Undermine the Entire Basis for Trans Athlete Bans The science moved. The policy didn’t.

The largest meta-analysis ever conducted on trans athletes just found no significant strength or aerobic differences after 1-3 years of hormone therapy. A separate brain imaging study found HRT restructures cortical architecture through receptor-mediated pathways. open.substack.com/pub/aridrenn...

Can’t stop thinking about the gargantuan gulf between the kid glove, caveat-laden, “having your name all over the Epstein files doesn’t mean you did anything wrong”-treatment of the men in Epstein’s inbox… and the brutalize first, ask questions later policing in Minneapolis.

there’s an astonishing amount of stuff to hate them for and i want everyone to read the whole thing archive.ph/PJjws

literally impeach her just for this

lemon pig please

under the constitution what authorities are vested in a senate confirmed secretary's boytoy?

people are out there naming their sons “Brantley” with no accountability and we’re just supposed to accept this state of affairs

CBP agents murdered a child.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

also this seems to me to be a bananas decision when america is 5% of the world's population????

well i don’t trust anyone wearing skin-tone flip flops, so

This is about right, yes.

Worked with @hcomeriato.bsky.social and @kenschneck.bsky.social to get this one out.

There's a lot of parts to this bill. We tried our best to break it down, show how legislators discussed it, and the resulting response from LGBTQ+ nonprofit organizations and leaders.

Give it a read.

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

This is trans eliminationism & must be destroyed along with the despicable Labour Party & the people in & supporting it

Trump administration cuts $600 million in HIV, STD prevention and surveillance grants The Trump administration is terminating $600 million in CDC grants for programs supporting HIV and STD prevention and HIV surveillance.

HHS is canceling $600 million in CDC grants for HIV and STD prevention in CA, IL, CO, and MN that were marked for state and local health departments, hospitals, universities and non-governmental organizations. These cuts conspicuously correspond to areas of DHS operations as well.

and the irony of all this is that the solution - such as there is one - is more and better care!!! More counseling availability, more resources to trans healthcare providers, more training about our needs for providers in general.

Regret is a totally normal part of life and I think the rightwing is actively doing harm to these detransitioner by turning their regret into a political pawn.

In re: AI, the question is not "is the robot alive." The question is "does the robot deserve my job," and the answer is no, because it doesn't have to eat.

lmfao omg

looking at my fellow soldiers in the gender war like

thinking a lot about @spiffykt.bsky.social summarizing the state of US foreign repro health policy right now as “they’re putting forth a vision for these countries where women just don’t have self-determination or, you know….rights”

what he’s saying is the logical conclusion of hyper-misogyny, though!

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

this was the documentary….set in the future

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.
