They won't say it publicly, but just as in WW2 where catholic fascists proudly turned in huge numbers of LGBT people in to the SS, they believe the only solution is our complete extermination.

It was a roman catholic priest - Father Coughlin - who mainstreamed Nazi beliefs in the USA in the 1930s.
pic of a fascist who died a natural death at the age of, fittingly, 88.

First author listed: Zhenya (Evgenia) Abbruzzese, SEGM co-founder, McMaster University researcher protocol author. The other 7 authors include Ray Zhang, McMaster HEI department (the SEGM partnership dept in FHS), and multiple presenters at SEGM’s recent conferences. Initially the authors were not named. Following the report’s release, the HHS declined to identify them. Until today’s press release. Of course they chose right before Trans Day of Remembrance.

Zhang liked (and reposted) the Evidence Bridge post. Not a lot of likes for this organization praised by the US Department of Health and Human Services

I feel honoured by this recognition — and I know I could not have reached this point without the support, guidance, and collaboration of my mentors, colleagues, and partners along the way. Thank you for being such an important part of my journey. This milestone also made me reflect on my broader vision. Over the years, I’ve seen how difficult it can be to translate evidence into real-world decisions. Too often, important research stays on paper rather than reaching the policy-makers, clinicians, and patients who need it most. That’s why I founded Evidence Bridge, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap between evidence and its users. My strengths lie with evidence reviews, guideline development, health economic evaluation, and health technology assessment. However, my goal is through these efforts, to make evidence more accessible, meaningful, and actionable — so that healthcare decisions are guided by evidence, and also by patient values and system needs. I’m excited to continue this journey, and I’d love to connect with others who share a passion for advancing evidence-informed health policy and practice. Please give Evidence Bridge a follow to stay connected with our work! hashtag#EvidenceBasedMedicine hashtag#HealthPolicy hashtag#HTA hashtag#GuidelineDevelopment hashtag#HealthEconomics Evidence BridgeEvidence Bridge 29 followers29 followers 1mo • Edited • 1 month ago • Edited • Visible to anyone on or off LinkedIn Follow …

Additionally, the "Evidence Bridge" group that Zhang created has a month old post stating he "holds academic appointments at McMaster University"

Despite the unit number, there is no 13th floor nor 43rd unit, the building is a tiny 3 storey walkup, apparently hosted by Garro Law Group, a "Trusted Law Firm in Ontario"

While the HHS report speaks about "Evidence Bridge" as an organization, it does not mention that Linkedin shows the group has only 29 followers and appears to be composed of exactly 1 member.

Goddamn
The Rudolphs’ lawsuit is at least the third active federal suit filed against Ursuline, following two other cases filed earlier this year, which accuse the school of allowing hazing and sexual violence in its football program for several years. In an amended 290-page complaint filed last week, two anonymous families jointly allege that Reardon and assistant coaches Timothy McGlynn and Christian Syrianoudis routinely ignored reports of hazing on team trips — hazing that allegedly consisted of ripping off victims’ clothes and underwear, “humping” or otherwise sexually assaulting them, and posting videos of the assaults to a Snapchat group. (McGlynn resigned as head coach of the Champion High School football team in 2020 following multiple allegations that he had been verbally and physically abusive to students and threatened to kill another coach.)

Nenshi brings up the leaked recall memo written by the UCP. Alberta had very petitioner friendly recall legislation for Canada (which still pales in comparison to what we see in parts of the US)

But now that there is a mass movement to recall UCP MLAs (right wing representatives) "disembowelment"
Mr. Nenshi: Mr. Speaker, a leaked government memo, which I understand was the topic of an emergency UCP caucus meeting last night, suggests nine ways to disembowel the recall bill that this government had put into place. Man, oh, man, they are scared now that one-third of them are under a recall petition. I really feel like a broken record here, but the Premier has long been a fan of recall. She loves recall; she’s cheerled for recall through her entire career. Now that it’s hit her people, she’s worried. So is the Premier going to recall her recall legislation? The Speaker: The Premier. Ms Smith: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have indicated that there are some procedural flaws in the recall legislation. When the government brought it in, they adopted legislation that was in British Columbia. As we’ve seen how it’s rolled out and been weaponized, we realized that it’s not fair to the individual who is being petitioned against. We’re having conversations about what potential changes we might make in order to ensure procedural fairness. When we come to a conclusion on whether any of those changes need to be made, we’ll let the Assembly know. Mr. Nenshi: I appreciate that she will “let the Assembly know” as opposed to bring it forward for debate in the Assembly, which says a lot about how the Premier thinks about democracy. Now she’s talking about weaponizing recall because it’s against her own people. She used to be a huge fan of it. When Mayor Gondek was being recalled, she said to Rick Bell, “I think giving the power to the people is an important aspect of making sure politicians keep their word.” She further went on to say, “I think it’s an important part of democracy.” Apparently, not anymore. Can the Premier confirm that she and the government are actually looking at these nine changes?

"She cared deeply about every person," Williams said. "She was someone who not only did haircuts for unhoused folks, but she felt very strongly that they need to be done in a salon so that folks got to have the experience and the decency of other people. She made these care kits with her own money that she would put together that had food and hygiene items and socks, and she would hand them out to folks so that they would have their basic needs taken care of."

Various popes have been meeting with trans people once a year since like 2014 when there was a fairly high profile murder of a Catholic trans woman in Rome.

It's never stopped the church from fighting against us.

[they weren’t] running, [they] didn't run. [They] didn't even walk briskly or quickly. [They] almost, I would say it was almost like a shuffle, a sort of shambling shuffle, a small step. Almost as though [they] were -- I don't know how to describe it. [They were] taking small steps forward, but coming towards us, coming towards [SO]… [They were] not stopping, [they were] continuing to move forward at a, at a consistent and steady rate.”

While I can't speak specifically for Scotland, police records are pretty reliably a mess and the MDT vendors are often lacking.

Also, in Canada, we had a policy in 2016 where trans people were required to be tagged in police records in order to identify us (as untermensch?)
