HHS’s language, grouping “sex-rejecting procedures” with female genital mutilation, conflates transgender medical care with criminal acts, while the government shows little urgency about nonconsensual surgeries on intersex children, one health policy expert told me.

1. For weeks, EITM has reported that Republicans would push a trans healthcare ban in their ACA negotiations.
Now, the plan is released, and it includes heavy restrictions on ACA plans, a medicaid ban, an EHB ban, and more.
Democrats must not capitulate.

Democrats Must Reject The Premise Of Trans Healthcare Bans In Republican Healthcare Offer
Republicans new healthcare bill would bar transgender healthcare as an essential health benefit, bar trans medicaid coverage, and would bar HSAs from considering trans healthcare medically necessary.

To this day I see people say "why does Qatar host Hamas?" and the answer is because the US asked it to. I really do not understand why so many of you are actually this stupid.

I spoke in Parliament today to challenge the misinformation from those claiming this tribunal as a 'win' for the anti-trans agenda.
In fact it found Ms Peggie harassed a colleague for being trans, and it dismissed almost all her claims.
It also found that trans segregation is not supported in law.

We've written & published a short summary statement regarding the Sandie Peggie V NHS Fife Health Board employment tribunal case & the judgment given yesterday. Much of the media coverage has missed key information, the most important aspect being that all claims against Dr Beth Upton were dismissed

The Tribunal’s findings on Sex Matters and Forstater are crystal clear:
• Not skilled evidence
• Not expert
• Not impartial
• Not reliable
• Polemic rather than evidence
• Material that could not support findings of fact
So why are UK news media & politicians listening to them!!??

NEW: FIRE positions itself as an alternative voice for free expression, but an analysis by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social found deference to religious-based viewpoints in free speech debates — and in some cases, the elevation of those views over all others.

FIRE, a product of the “academic freedom” campaign, wants to protect free speech for everyone. Yet its stances show deference to religious views and a persistent anti-queer strain.

Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.

There are thousands of survivors who are still alive today who gave first hand testimony of being raped and physically abused as children.
It's not "just asking questions" to call thousands of survivors of abuse liars. You're attempting to normalize child abuse and should be shamed

While Canada’s residential school era has become a key piece of our national identity, there has been an eruption of late of what some academics call denialism.
That eruption & efforts to counter it, is the focus of the new episode of APTN Investigates:

I keep thinking of Beth Upton today, who won against an absolutely foul, racist bigot, and should be having the best day, but is still being monstered by our entire media, for the crime of merely existing as her authentic self and doing a job in the NHS that helps people, all day every day.
#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:
"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."
No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.
This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

About a third of carers are migrants.
Among other things, Labour has banned them from bringing their partners and kids here.
Labour pretending to care about them is nauseating.

-30% say women should take the lead on childcare (23% of 30-34 year olds say this)
-29% say men should make more money (21% of 30-34 year olds say this)
