If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

This is also the anti-sex worker rights movement play, it’s a classic
You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

Every journalist knows you can find people to say pretty much anything. But the more instructive question for me is: why did they find and platform these particular people/views?

Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it.
We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

A federal judge has blocked an age-verification mandate for social media in Louisiana, ruling that the same content can be accessed on unregulated sites, that it chills a huge amount of speech and that tools already exist for parents to block use.
You know, the same arguments FSC made in Paxton.

Sarah McBride isn’t a firebrand. She’s spent her time in Congress relentlessly focusing on her constituents, not on national issues. But she is also the only congressperson who can speak directly to the lived experience of a trans person. And I am so grateful she is there to say things like this.
@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder.
