'Irreversible Damage' is a fearmongering screed combined with a how-to child abuse guide aimed at the parents of young trans children. Emma and Talia are joined by Lucy Kartikasari to examine how this misbegotten suburban tantrum dehumanizes trans and detrans people alike.

Well isn't this fucking timely.
Shrier's book is a manifesto for the parents' rights movement and the preeminent example of how the abuse of trans children forms the bedrock of modern anti-trans politics, presenting transition as a "bad outcome" to avoid at any cost.
Defend trans kids.

I had to read this book to write a dispute to get my library to take it off of their shelves. It’s one of the most disingenuous, disgusting wastes of wood pulp I’ve had to swallow down, but at least it’s no longer in their catalogue.

My notes ended up being too long for the form. Every page I had to stop and notate some fucked-up little turn of phrase and that was when I wasn’t rolling my eyes at Abusive Dad #5 bemoaning how his ‘little girl’ won’t talk to him anymore (said little girl being a grown man in his 20s in most cases)

Looking back, I think what upsets me most about it is how Shrier kept insisting on ‘respecting’ trans people, but only the ones who transition as adults
I’m a trans person who transitioned as an adult after a childhood of having that part of me muzzled. I don’t want kids to have that happen to them

The child's value is the perceived value to their parent. Even the threat of a failed future isn't for the child's sake, but the parents.

What always gets to me about this is that the "threat" of a child having agency is never really about the safety or wellbeing of the child. It always comes back to what that child could supposedly take away from parents if they were given agency.

I knew this book hated trans kids but did not know just how overtly hateful it is towards children in general. Apparently, nothing could possibly be more threatening than a child having any agency.

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.
Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

Thread on the reality of being a refugee/asylum seeking here. Scroll down if you want to help her out a bit with her gfm too.
In 2024/5, I was mostly prioritising getting a stable job. This was not only for financial reasons--though that too--but also because I had little hopes of Ireland extending my refugee status in perpetuity. The messaging has always been "You're very welcome, can't wait for you to leave"

to be clear: USTA kicking trans women off rec league tennis teams is not a policy "coming from the highest levels of government." it is a policy coming from the USTA. we need y'all to stop attributing all culpability to trump. you're laundering collaboration, obfuscating what is actually happening.

Trans women continue to be maligned as predators and invaders even as regimes basically make it legal to rape us.
BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

wondering how you can be "very much in the center but slightly more towards than against" eugenics
And no, eugenics was not just mass sterilization and euthanasia. It was also positive eugenics--which is what this is.

I don't wanna spotlight this poster in particular (hence the crop), but this is like everything wrong with the way ppl talk about detransitioners. Yes, sure, detransitioning is tantamount defrauding Big Gender, why not. Yeah they didn't "*really* need it." UNLIKE ME!!
