Underlining this.

Up until the political attacks began in earnest, the model of trans care was becoming far more people-centered and focused on overall well-being over defined outcomes.

More people are out and seeking care options, but what that looks like is increasingly variable - that's great!
One big missing piece of the picture of trans healthcare debate has been the shift from a one-size fits all program that emphasized a cis passing appearance as the only acceptable end to an individualized approach that offers only as much medical intervention as the patient wants and needs.

Grateful to see it all, finally, laid out. Makes me feel less crazy. But I’m so, so furious for all those who’ve been steamrolled and bulldozed by these monsters all along. So many who’ve suffered, friends I’ve lost, whose lives have been ruined, everyone gaslit, all in service of these predators.

Richard Dawkins. Steven Pinker. Lawrence Krauss. Jonathan Haidt. Robert Trivers. Prominent atheists and scientists who have pushed anti-trans propaganda for years. They all had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some received huge research grants and island trips, and all of them benefited from their ties.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Oh wow, a political appointee plays to the crowd? Well, I never
This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair.

Again, no-one is ready for the clusterfuck that is coming our way. Look, folks, the conditions for "Science as we knew it" are completely gone. These are uncharted terrains and my prediction is that things won't end well. At least for us.

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution

2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party

Protecting women and children, is it?
JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner.

Epstein's predators were men. There are probably more rapists in the Epstein files than there are trans people in the UK. And yet the pearl-clutching TERFS are playing useful idiots to fascism by working to drive trans people out of public life, and worse.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.
