If you believe the study is correct, could you summarize its conclusion for me?

I appreciate what you’re saying, but this is not a misleading hit piece. This is written by a prominent trans journalist (if you’ve seen the trans legislative risk map, that’s her) who is married to a high profile trans state representative (Zooey Zephyr).

You may not like her interpretations of his statements, but they come from a place of familiarity with the political scene for trans people both as a reporter and as a trans person. She has a high reputation with a lot of the trans community who follow political news, and calling her work a hit piece is unreasonable.

The issues where Gavin pointed out alignment were regarding trans athletes in sports, in particular the competitive advantages ftm [sic] athletes possess, and whether or not the state should pay for gender reassignment for inmates

Oh, is that all. 🙄 Yeah man, it’s a really hard question on whether trans people deserve to participate as full members of society and whether they deserve medically necessary care when imprisoned before a trial. I bet the KKK has some really interesting points to make too, we should get him to do an interview with them.

Oh, he also agreed with Kirk on no treatment for trans youth.

Kirk continued, "Youth should be off limits, you might be right on deportations, I know I’m right on this," to which Newsom simply acknowledged, "Yeah.”

But other than all that I’m sure he definitely for sure has the best interest of trans people in mind!

Oh, what a cutie! He looks a lot like a dog my family had that was super sweet and acted like a cat because he grew up around them.

I’m sorry you had to go through that!

No audio right now so I can’t watch the video, but if she hasn’t already done so please pass on to your friend that the ACLU is asking people who have experienced discrimination due to the new executive orders to contact them. Link here.

Can’t wait for this to fix the price of eggs, rent, healthcare, and education.

I’m someone who is having to make those calculations and chose to not be on instagram a long time ago, so I get it. But there are trans kids on there, and as long as there are then pointing them to reputable sources instead of leaving them to sort it out for themselves is still better than nothing.

These kids are already on Instagram, and telling them “cut yourself off from your support network and join a smaller platform” is not gonna fly well even if it’s the best idea. Pointing them where to go as long as they’re there is a solid strategy.

Time to dust off the ol’ Sodomobile.

The ACLU has said:

All applications for gender marker change are on hold while the State Department changes this policy.

Anyone who now submits an application for a change runs the risk of losing access to their passport and documents while their application is being processed.
