Editorial | The heartless decision to suspend youth transgender care UW Health's compliance in advance sends the message that providers should capitulate to the government rather than support best-practice care.

Japan wins, Australian consumers lose. Intense lobbying revealed - Michael West While Australian consumers suffer from record-high energy prices, Japanese LNG companies enjoy the spoils of on-selling Australian LNG.

Gas lobbyists report: meetings with ministers etc "at least 24 times since the Labor Government’s election in May 2022"

No wonder Japanese mnc are exporting our gas on the cheap on on-selling it for a profit

Epstein files reveal deeper ties to scientists than previously known Latest batch of documents show researchers consulting the financier and sex offender on publications, visas and more.

At least 30 scientists, including famous paleontologist Jack Horner and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, have been named in the Epstein files so far. Once again proving that shitty men think with the wrong head no matter how smart they are.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

“A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare…”

The political attacks on healthcare for young trans people has horrific outcomes. Trans youth deserve to thrive.

Trump Promised Mass Deportations — These Are the Consequences The absolute atrocities that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been committing across the nation, including the inexcusable murders of Alex Pretti, Renee Nicole Good, Keith Porter...

The racist tRump admin mass deportation plan isn't to get rid of the criminals. Only migrants who owns businesses, jobs, are the pillar of the community are targeted for deportation. And this isn't by accident, it's by design.

Subject: London talk the title of my talk October 25 in London, audience "500, 35 pounds paid attendance each "An Evening on Evolutionary Biology: An overview covering Feminism, Transgender, Homosexuality and Honor Killings." $3000 for me (i will already be in London paid for by Imperial College) and an almost certain corporate $3000 add on just as you outlined-this will create an immediate internet wave especially in the UK with coverage in all the major newspapers and so on anyway i will concentrate on it, to the exclusion of individual pieces at the moment all best

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

re-upping this thread, essay & video one more time, as tomorrow I will be promoting a whole new thing, so stay tuned!

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

new video & essay, check it out!

YouTube video by Julia Serano Prejudice and the Unmarked/Marked Mindset

🧵NEW VIDEO ESSAY: much of the focus of my post-Whipping Girl work (especially my books Sexed Up & Excluded) has been on understanding prejudice more generally & the role that "markedness" plays in how we (mis)perceive & (mis)interpret others. this video summarizes all that work! youtu.be/xiU-G0mTYVY

You look at "gender critical" activist threads like this and you wonder when the realisation will hit that they are transphobes in a transphobic hate movement so OF COURSE their allies are fascists.

It's the blindingly simple answer, and it always has been.

The Supreme Court misjudgement looks more ridiculous and completely unhinged every day.

Man standing in field of sheep holding rainbow flag.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

In Graham's numbers aren't a lie, he makes at least 75K a year from Substack.

For four years, 70-75% of his Substack was written by an unpaid woman.

When she "retired" last year he "employed" another woman to write. She has now quit.

Still, his followers don't care. They pay him for existing.

chart header reads: Fields Under Fire. Some research fields have been heavily affected by grant terminations implemented by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) under President Donald Trump. More than half of the active, NIH-funded projects about gender and sexual minorities (LGBT+) have been cancelled. chart #1 shows that 50.6% of grants containing the terms "LGBT/LGBTQ/LGBTQ+" in the title or abstract were terminated. chart #2 shows that 45.8% of grants containing the term "transgender" in the title or abstract were terminated. chart #3 shows that 45.5% of grants containing the term "vaccine hesitancy" in the title or abstract were terminated. chart #4 shows that 3.4% of grants containing the terms "HIV" or "AIDS" in the title or abstract were terminated.

since it's behind a paywall now, I wanted to share this graph from "How Trump 2.0 is slashing NIH-backed research — in charts" (Nature, April 2025). Say it with me: the anti-trans/LGBTQ+ movement is an anti-science movement:

‘Add blood, forced smile’: how Grok’s nudification tool went viral The ‘put her in a bikini’ trend rapidly evolved into hundreds of thousands of requests to strip clothes from photos of women, horrifying those targeted

Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

‘Add blood, forced smile’:

the overlap of 'trans ppl are a social media contagion corrupting children' and 'child sexual assault imagery is fine if it is on x!' seems to be a perfect circle.

why are transphobes always defending pedophilia?

a mystery of the current age.

Grammy-winning gospel singer and pastor accused of sexually abusing a young man Donnie McClurkin denied the allegations in the lawsuit, which was filed by a man who says he sought out the pastor after reading his book about overcoming the “curse” of homosexuality.

"Ex-gay" pastor, who claimed he "broke the curse of homosexuality," sexually abused a young man during "Pray the Gay Away" spiritual sessions. (Practicing my shocked face.)

How Wealth Reduces Compassion As riches grow, empathy for others seems to decline

Its always nice when science validates your belief that the mega-rich are all soulless psychopaths:

www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

They lose core voters agd gain zero voters. Lose-lose.

You can only get away with it if voting is compulsory. If it's not then the #1 rule is 'Get your core voters out to vote'.

Harris..like Clinton..broke that rule. Gained no white women votes at all and lost lots of core votes.

Harris self destructed on 2 issues and tactics.
- Gaza
- Going for the right wing white women vote. Trump increased his vote by then..

Trying to get right wing votes is the most common idiocy of left/liberal/social democrats parties with voluntary voting in their country.

Totally unsurprising to see how transphobic the BBC ARE, when you see who they recruit to work for them! …

Photos of Congresswoman Sarah McBride, with Congresswomen Julie Johnson and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, speaking to the press. She says: All Republicans politicians care about is making the rich richer and attacking trans people. They are obsessed with trans people.

Rather than protecting public health, anti-equality politicians in Congress and the Department of Health and Human Services are obsessed with attacking trans youth.

We need leaders who solve problems, not scapegoat innocent children.

Looks like a targetted assissination.
