"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Sources unclear for the screenshot content.

TSA has removed info for trans travelers from its website: confirmed. Page note found.

Also, read this from @them.us : www.them.us/story/marco-...

And more importantly: stay safe and lookout for one another ✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏼

An extract from a National Post article titled "'Considerable uncertainty' remains about gender treatments for kids, Canadian researchers warn". The extract reads as such:

"The second review to assess the impact of hormone therapy (testosterone for females, estrogen for males) included 24 studies. That review also provided “very low confirmatory evidence of any substantive change” in gender dysphoria, depression or overall health, according to a release from the publishing group, BMJ Group.
Article content

Many studies suffered from missing data, small sample sizes or lacked a comparison group. The researchers said they didn’t find data for outcomes of death by suicide.

“Since the current best evidence, including our systematic review and meta-analysis, is predominantly very low quality, clinicians must clearly communicate this evidence to patients and caregivers,” they wrote.

“Treatment decisions should consider the lack of moderate- and high-quality evidence, uncertainty about the effects of puberty blockers and patient’s values and preferences,” they added.

Guideline developers and policy makers should be transparent “about which and whose values they are prioritizing when making recommendations and policy decisions,” they said.

The research was funded by the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine, or SEGM, and McMaster University. SEGM has been accused of being an “anti-trans psychological and sociological think tank” by transgender rights groups. Despite the sharp push back, SEGM “has inarguably brought together clinicians and researchers who believe that the United States is becoming an outlier in its approach to pediatric gender medicine,” Undark’s Frieda Klotz wrote in a profile last year of SEGM co-founder, endocrinologist Dr. William Malone."

Friendly reminder that Canadian media continues to manufacture consent for anti-trans policy north of the border.

SEGM is an anti-trans hate group and a source of scientific disinformation. Platforming such groups and their bogus research only furthers their ability to spew anti-trans cruft.

Journalists scramble to respond to CDC web purge of LGBTQ+ data While the data may be restored, any likely revision impacts all journalists, and more importantly, the communities they serve across their beats.

"Now more than ever ... it’s crucial for cis journalists to invest time and energy into learning how to report on trans communities accurately."

Exclusive: Social Security "immediately" stopped making sex identification changes on Friday "Effective immediately, we can no longer process changes to the sex field."

The Social Security Administration has stopped allowing people to make changes to their sex identification with the federal agency, I reported exclusively overnight at Law Dork.

The anti-transgender “emergency” change was issued on Friday and went into effect “immediately.”

In 24 hours we've gotten executive orders attempting to ban gender affirming care, ban recognition of trans youth in schools, ban trans employees in the federal government. It's a full on societal purge of trans people.

They meant it when they said they wanted to eradicate us.

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

January 2025 Canadian Anti-Trans Risk Assessment Map • Celeste Trianon I'm going to be very honest: 2025 is not going to be a good year for trans people in Canada. The biggest reason? The federal Conservatives.

Major news:

Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.

It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"

I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.

Shameful.
