Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them.
We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

California Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove suspects that Trump is on an anti-Alzheimer’s drug called Leqembi. Given that the White House refuses to tell the truth, it is fair game to speculate and speculate hard.

Literally a week ago Musk said that falsely labeling people as Nazis "should be treated as incitement to murder." And here he is (falsely) labeling the EU as Nazis.

Shit like this is why I don't trust even the "progressive" democrats. They should've been intimating this knowledge to the voters, that Democrat leadership was failing them, when it was happening in order to ouster them later. They virtue signal about Trump and fail to address the rot that allowed
If people actually want to know about the Congress specific bits, this is a great piece on how Pelosi sabotaged both impeachments.
Also look up Chris Coons and Valentine’s Day if you want your blood to boil on why witnesses were never called for the second impeachment trial.

The Legacy Nancy Pelosi Never Wanted
The groundbreaking speaker’s aversion to impeachment led her to short-circuit the oversight process. The price was two acquittals for Trump and a weakened Congress.

Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

This is a terrible story--both because of the trap that was set (either in advance or ret-conned to seize a moment) for this graduate student but also because the student's department failed her. The 1st problem is easy to see, but I want to explain the 2nd one. 1/x
btw, every "reasonable" person who's own posting stuff like "well, the prompt was unclear," or "she actually kind of did the assignment OK so maybe the TA overreacted"--you are also part of the problem! You're laundering the deliberate targeting of a TA and a blatant abrogation of academic freedom!
This thread is 💯. Labor precarity in academia means the evisceration of faculty governance and academic freedom, opening the door to administrative purges of the most vulnerable. And faculty-esp tenured faculty and academic leaders-who aren't defending their trans colleagues are enabling it.
