I may just be an American bumpkin but how did the violent murder of a 15 year old trans girl get turned into a national campaign about how phones got her to self harm?

Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

FACT~ The Queensland ban on puberty blockers only applies to transgender children; puberty blockers can still be prescribed for precocious puberty and other conditions.

This is not a health decision this is an ideological one!

Queensland's ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy is being challenged by the mother of a trans teenager.

Brisbane’s Supreme Court yesterday heard the state government acted unlawfully and failed to follow proper procedures when it implemented the ban earlier this year.

This is the current White House page listing events that happened at there as part of a timeline on the East Wing demolition.

www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-wh...

A webpage styled like an official government site with the header “President Donald J. Trump” and “The White House.” Below is a “Major Events Timeline” showing four cards in a horizontal row.
• The first card (dated 2012) shows two individuals in white head coverings speaking closely; text below discusses a visit with a Middle Eastern organization labeled as extremist.
• The second card (dated 2020) shows a small white pavilion building beside a tennis court; text describes the construction of a tennis pavilion on the White House lawn.
• The third card (dated 2023) shows a shirtless man reclining in a bathtub; text describes cocaine being discovered in a White House area and references speculation about a family member of a political figure.
• The fourth card (dated 2023–2024) shows two photos: a smiling older man in a suit posing for a selfie with a younger person, and a separate selfie of a smiling person presenting at an outdoor event; text discusses establishing a “Transgender Day of Visibility” aligned with Easter Sunday.

A small timeline line with labeled dots runs beneath the four cards.

Yes, the actor who takes a role in any Harry Potter work is telling you that they are a bigot - let's not couch it - and that they aren't safe people to invite to LGBT+ events, spaces, or interact socially with LGBT+ people, and you should protect LGBT+ people from them in future.

Y’all should read @taliabhatt.itch.io’s Verge article on trans indie publishing challenges.

It’s fucking great, y’all. (The article. Not the trans indie publishing challenges 😭)

Trans women are building their own publishing world, and it’s under threat

Online communities are stepping in where traditional publishing stops.

There are a few fedora/gnome bugs/issues that are going to make supporting her a little tedious/frustrating, but it honestly feels less stressful than that 3-monthly call ... 'What's a Microsoft account?... My computer says I don't have backup and I'm at risk?... Where did my bookmarks go?... 3/3

I converted my mum to Linux this morning since windows 10 is EoL; she was obviously uncomfortable about it at first, but the 'car analogy' seemed to resonate with her - that other cars look and feel a little different, but you can still drive them - all the controls are in the same spot. 🚗✨ 1/3

Yeah, it's true DIY HRT use is growing. You can call that a healthy community dealing with immense levels of institutional prejudice.

This will kill trans women.

Anti-trans biases & structural racism is rife against Aboriginal Trans People in the NT; they fare worse on measures of poverty, homelessness, & overrepresentation in the justice system, & abuse/harassment both in & outside of the justice system!!
