Erin Reed in Erin In The Morning Breaking News: SCOTUS is taking up sports ban cases. This means that the court will determine if equal protection applies to transgender status or to trans people on the basis of sex. This will be a h...

“Gay ideology” usually refers to gay people being visible, expressing our identities, forming communities, fighting for our rights, etc. Now “gender ideology” evokes similar in relation to trans folk. And when LGBT people become an “ideology,” our humanity degrades and we become targets for erasure.

The Call is Coming From Inside the House Today, we have yet another awful opinion piece in the NYT.

My latest piece on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/thetrans...

This is the list of Rape Culture apologists. It includes Cuomo stans and literally people sent to attack me and other survivors for years. I’ve tried to include as many high profile abusers as I can. It is bipartisan on bad people supporting abusers. Block block block.

Spencer Bergstedt on Substack Last week, Congresswoman Sarah McBride gave an interview to Ezra Klein at the New York Times. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that the NYT it’s been the force of so much anti-trans narrativ...

My latest Substack piece re Rep. McBride and the failing strategy of incrementalism.

The Court Got Your Anti-Abortion Bullsh*t In My Trans Care Two bad tastes that taste like shit.

Hey, look, I wrote a thing, and Wonkette published it!

It's a brief bit about how anti-abortion jurisprudence ended up determining the shape of the Skrmetti decision.

Have fun! This is fun, right? This is what we read for fun?

McBride and her ilk think that taking an incremental approach will work. The reality is - that never works.

Trans people need to treat our lives with the same urgency that we approached the HIV/AIDS crisis. We didn’t apologize for our demands because our siblings were DYING. Just like now.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment.

In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community.

You have a home here always.

Munroe Bergdorf On Trump 2.0 And The War On Woke: “Your Exhaustion Is Precisely The Point” “To me, witnessing Trump’s accelerated targeting of trans people feels like looking into the future and seeing what will happen to our politics here – if we don’t start fighting back together.”

“In controlling trans people’s freedom of identity, the establishment is sending a warning shot to all of those who dare to live a life outside of prescribed gender roles and expectations. Freedom for trans people, ultimately, means freedom for everyone.”

Freedoms for all of us require solidarity.

Former U.S. Amb. to Ukraine Bridget Brink has jumped into the Democratic primary for Michigan's 7th Congressional District.

Brink left her post in protest of Trump’s policies in April and is now looking to unseat GOP Rep. Tom Barrett. "It's important to fight for democracy at home," she tells NYT.

If you are a young trans person and have seen today’s massively wrong SCOTUS decision, do not give up. If you can, get yourself to a safe state. If you can’t, find ways to disrupt the systems where you live. And remember - we exist. We have always existed. We will always exist.

Prescribing such high doses of testosterone to girls induces “hyperandrogenism,” which can cause increased cardiovascular risk, “irreversible changes to the vocal cords,” “clitoromegaly and atrophy of the lining of the uterus and vagina,” as well as “ovarian and breast cancer.” Id., at 772– 779. Giving high doses of estrogen to boys induces “hyperestrogenemia,” which can produce similarly severe side effects including, among other things, increased cardiovascular risk, breast cancer, and sexual dysfunction. Id., at 779– 781. And, for girls and boys alike, “it is generally accepted, even by advocates of transgender hormone therapy, that hormonal treatment impairs fertility, which may be irreversible.” Id., at 520–521; accord, W. Hembree et al., Endocrine Treatment of Gender-Dysphoric/Gender-Incongruent Persons: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, 102 J. Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 3869, 3882 (2017) (ES Guidelines).

this, from Thomas, is another example of the transphobes citing *the effects we want* as negatives and excluding any and all context. "Irreversible changes to the vocal cords" is what I WANT out of T.

The Cardio risk is in line with cis men. Same with the cancer risk. It's all bullshit.

Given that the shooter/murderer was impersonating a police officer, every person claiming to be ICE /HSI/FBI/Military/LEO must be REQUIRED to show valid ID at all times. Also, just assume that all of them are murderers or complicit.

The targeted shootings of Democratic politicians in Minnesota is a stark reminder of why we protest. Does it remind you of anything? Putin killing Navalny or any of his political rivals? This is an attempt to silence the majority of people who oppose this regime.

If they don't know his identity, how are they sure he isn't a cop? Sincere question.

If you missed last night’s Tony Awards, do yourself a favor and go find them streaming somewhere. It will uplift you, fill you full of queer joy, and let you celebrate queer excellence for a few hours. Plus, Cynthia Erivo is perfection.

Nothing to see here.
