The BBC is a propaganda outlet that identifies as serious journalism.
I'd like someone to point out that there's no such thing as a "biological male" or "biological female." It's scientifically inaccurate. Sex is a spectrum that transition "nudges" in a direction. BBC uses TERFcode as default.

Oh look at that, another well-funded, poorly-named anti-trans group conveniently pushes a proposal that supports what the feds are doing by classifying trans people as extremists, as they try to frame CK's assassin as trans, at the same time as Heritage puts out the TIVE nonsense.

Anti-trans hate group Genspect is formally calling for trans people to be repathologized. This is most certainly to set the stage for mandated conversion therapy and potentially forced institutionalization.

Has anyone covered how the US right wing has been performing a psychological warfare campaign against trans and intersex people? That it's no coincidence when these people use the same words over and over, the same specific phrases, the same exact framing and the same exact vectors of attack?

Everyone asking how this could be consitutional and part of the answer is that SCOTUS in Skrmetti basically made discrimination against trans people legal so long as the pretext is based on diagnosis. So they'll target diagnosis and say it's not based on trans status or sex in court like Skrmetti.
DOJ is openly stating that "trannies shouldn't have guns."
The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.

Right now, anti-trans and anti-intersex bigotry is being promoted with a three-legged system of attack, with each leg feeding into the others:
1.) Accuse people with biological/identity differences of being "delusional" or use narratives to implicate degeneracy, cherry pick data proving claims.

In the same span of time where a federal bathroom ban is being applied via legal pressure on private businesses, the UK is implementing a defacto bathroom ban.
'A global conspiracy to silence and erase trans people, spanning the ocean' sounds ridiculous, but it's real.

While social gender authenticity and freedom in personal clothing choice are fundamental human rights and should not be classed as "treatments" or MH "services," Ohio HB96 could be interpreted to limit all mental health care to disaffirming providers who misgender their TGD patients.

I have no words for the dissonance I feel. On the same week as the NYT runs cover for the terrible Skrmetti decision by claiming trans people "reached too far" for rights.
And now this regime is banning trans people from fertility treatments. Tell me it's not a genocide.

The thing I wish I could explain to more people is that the damage done to the federal government will take decades to undo. All of the experts fired and dismissed from agencies will move on, scientists will emigrate, people will disperse, institutional knowledge will be lost, yes.
