Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

Thousands of scientists disagreed.

We heard from +150 researchers impacted by the NIH grant terminations on what is being lost in the cuts. 🧵👇

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

You can’t trust a news agency that doesn’t have its reporters’ backs. You have to assume they’re meddling with coverage of the admin in other ways. ABC is toast.

The prospect of all this martial pomp, scheduled for June 14, has elicited criticism from many quarters. Some of it is fair—this president does not shy away from celebrating himself or flexing executive power, and the parade could be seen as an example of both—but some of it is misguided. Trump has a genius for showmanship, and showcasing the American military can be, and should be, a patriotic celebration.

You refuse to go over to your neighbor's barbecue simply because everyone there is wearing klan robes and flying swastikas? Barbecues can, and should be, a healthy way to build community.

was recently told by a scholar of some note that it was out of bounds to compare trump's purge of black people from the federal government to wilson's efforts to resegregate the federal bureaucracy

The fact of the matter is there are no standards for anti-trans pseudoscience. You could write "TRN R BAD" in crayons next to a drawing of a frowny face where the eyes aren't even inside the circle, and get published in a scientific journal with WaPo editorials saying "this is an important landmark"

democrats love to go “we need to have a bigger tent!” and they don’t mean leftists or queer people what they mean is a rich guy who wants to destroy all democracy and replace it with technocracies

"Why did Trump get more credit for non-existent $5000 DOGE checks than Democrats did for actually enacting the Child Tax Credit?"

I take it back this may be the most American reaction at all, a Protestant misreading the situation making it all about himself. The founding mythos of America lives on

That there were people cheering on the DOGE cuts because they thought the government would send them a $500 check from all the money saved firing scientists and park rangers is quite sad to me.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.

Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic.

"Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.
