About two dozen provider organizations have stopped offering gender-affirming care in response to Trump’s threats. But not all hospitals are complying in advance. Boston Children’s Hospital recently issued a statement saying it would continue care. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/bost...

Because a lot of people won't appreciate this: also, university presses have a habit of making authors handover copyright of their academic manuscripts, so a lot of authors won't even have the ability to say "no" to this kind of shit as more presses do it

You don't have to think about this if you aren't impacted by it, but it becomes way easier to just not go out in public.

And so we don't.

People sometimes comment that trans folks have a huge online presence - do you think that this is because we have thriving offline social lives?

Shout out to the Phoenix Public Library system - best library system I'm ever had a card to, including any of the research triangle counties AND Washington, D.C.

People dunk on Phoenix but maybe they should check out our public library and reconsider.
