this story is framed as being primarily about athletes but the quoted portion of the cable appears to apply to all non-citizen trans people, which feels substantially more alarming
"In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding," reads the directive from the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

at least when we condemn thousands of trans kids to death in america, it will come with nancy mace screaming slurs on instagram instead of whatever this patronizing bullshit is supposed to be
Wes Streeting, the health secretary, ended his statement in the Commons saying the ban on puberty blockers was being made permanent with a message aimed directly at young trans people. He said that, while he could not pretend to know what their experience was like, as a gay man he did know what it was like to live with a secret, and to face bullying. He said he really cared about this issue, and was determined to improve healthcare for young people. • In the past few months, I have met with young trans people who have either have been, may be or will be affected by the decisions I and my predecessor have taken. I have listened to their concerns, their fears and their anxieties, and I want to talk to them directly now. I know it's not easy being a trans kid in our country today, the trans community is at the wrong end of all of the statistics for mental ill health, self-harm and suicide. I can't pretend to know what that's like, but I do know what it's like to feel you have to bury a secret about yourself, to be afraid of who you are, to be bullied for it, and then to experience the liberating experience of coming out. I know it won't feel like it based on the decisions I'm taking today, but I really do care about this and so does this government. I am determined to improve the quality of care and access to healthcare for all trans people. I am convinced that the full implementation of the Cass review will deliver material improvements in the wellbeing, safety and dignity of trans people of all ages and this government will work with them to help them live freely, equally, and with the dignity everyone in our country deserves.

privatizing space travel is going to go down as one of the most consequential policy errors of the early 21st century
One person aware of the conversations said the government faces a dilemma because it is so dependent on the billionaire's technologies. SpaceX launches vital national security satellites into orbit and is the company NASA relies on to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. "They don't love it," the person said, referring to the Musk-Putin contacts. The person, however, said no alerts have been raised by the administration over possible security breaches by Musk.
