Right wing media has dominated the info space about trans issues. Fox News alone writes more stories about trans people than even LGBTQ news outlets. That doesn't even take into account the influencer space where algo engagement favors this kind of narrative.

Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
Judge blocks Trump admin from rescinding health grants to Democratic-led states
The ruling temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants that had already been allocated to four Democratic-led states.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Wrong! You stated in your headline that they endorse restrictions on surgeries now. That’s not what either of them said! In fact, ASPS made it clear that they oppose legal bans/restrictions!

They are lying because they are owned by pedophile billionaires. The anti trans bullshit has already been exposed as being funded by epstein as far back as 2004. So anti trans talking point are pro pedophile talking point.

In 1947 the US War Department released “Don’t Be a Sucker,” now archived by the National Archives. It shows how fascism grows through fear lies and scapegoating. This should not be history. It is a reminder our government once wanted remembered.

I'm seeing positivity for Jon Ossoff on the timeline so I just want to remind everyone that he is the only Democrat to break ranks and vote against a Biden federal judge appointment.
He did it because the judge had moved a trans woman that was being raped in men's prison to a women's prison.
