House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide The bill would bar federal funding for any "social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention" to treat gender dysphoria.

Here are a couple stories we have written about the fight that's coming up. You can find the provisions here:

👀

Germany, Austria and Switzerland issued a massive joint report endorsing gender affirming care for trans youth and heavily criticizing the Cass report and this is how Azeen reports it yet again. She never wrote an article on it or gave its authors a massive cover story like Cass.

did you ask for a refund?

Move to Baltimore, you can be gay here

More yankee Democrats should be encouraging southerners to flee north. It's existential for electoral college math at this point and it's a good counter narrative to the mostly BS "fleeing blue cities" commentary (in reality many blue cities are so desirable that housing is too expensive)

Advancing anti-trans legislation is advancing fascism. Fight for trans rights by sending a letter to your New York reps demanding they protect Trans Rights.

one of their sources is literally "404 Not Found"

Oh. So we don't need to follow GRADE guidelines for "high quality evidence" when it comes to harm. Only for benefits. Lol.

If that’s the right John Koenig and Blake Sanchez, the compiler of the main report has degrees in English and Business, and the compiler of the executive summary has a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience.

...such science.

Screenshot of XML information open in notepad, showing “Alex Byrne” under the creator tag..

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne.

The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews.

Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.

They seriously compare allowing transgender youth to transition to the experiments on Tuskegee African Americans.

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report.

Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today.

Notably missing: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia. Kind of mindblowing to me given what the substance of this letter is: "government should not retaliate against law firms"

Email sent by Steven Chagnon to Cammie Woodman. It reads: “Whatever this is, we have zero interest in being involved. Everyone who is connected is getting refunded immediately and removed from the program. -Steven Chagnon Lead Admin for [Tennis League Network logo] Peace, Love and Happiness on the Tennis Courts”

Steven Chagnon, CEO of Tennis League Network, just illegally removed Cammie Woodman from a tennis team just because she is trans.

I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

DPD shirt!!

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care.

The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

On the same day the national park service busy erasing trans people from history, HRC axed is entire trans justice initiative and laid off a bunch of amazing black and brown trans folks. Absolutely despicable, HRC showing us who they've always been.

Where's the accountability for the NYT's transphobia?
