What makes this so bizarre is that it was Theresa May, in most ways a pretty extreme Conservative, who was pushing for improved trans rights. And now every party except the Greens and SNP have become outright transphobes.

This article is spot on about the UK's descent into anti-trans hysteria. In 8 years, they went from the conservatives trying to make it easier for trans folks to self attest gender to a liberal government implementing a bathroom ban by fiat.

The Trump administration and its allies have taken several steps to ensure that medical schools in the US dismantle all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

It is patients who will be the victims of this, write @gavinyamey.bsky.social and @michaeldgreen.com

Most of the shocks that have happened were predictable* when she came up with her rules. She set herself up to fail.

*A benefit change u-turn that ended up costing more than doing nothing was a surprise.
