  6. I often wonder, when these loony tunes ultra-right-winger types spew forth their horrific fantasies, what they'd do if people simply said "I need the addresses, names, and contact information for the places where you say these things are taking place, please."

    This is bad. I think very dark times are coming for LGBT parents, especially as states like Oklahoma order investigations of LGBT families for "corrupting minors". It's coming. 100% certain. Remember: Hungary does not allow adoption or IVF for LGBT people.

  8. “Sex based rights” = “The right to not be around trans people ever” That’s what it means. That’s the only context that phrase is ever used in. If someone says “sex based rights” they mean the right to not be near trans people, ever. Don’t pretend it’s anything else.

    Every now and again I'm reminded that Black people said "stop killing us" and the whites said "fine, we'll change the name of the pancake mix."

    New Hampshire is advancing a bill that would require teachers to out their transgender students even to the point of changing "gender identity and EXPRESSION." This would put thousands of trans students in jeopardy and would police their bodies and identities.

    I’m not gonna do the “how tall do you think I am” thing, but you are welcome to say I f you think I’m shorter or taller than you, if that’s your thing. It really doesn’t matter that much.

    In case you didn't believe us when we said it originally, here is the guy from Alliance Defending Freedom explicitly linking HB 454 which detransitions all trans teens, with fetal ultrasound and anti abortion bills. This is all part of the same fight.

    Ignoring a wave of internal resignations and protests among its staff and a ruling from the state Supreme Court clarifying they are under no obligation to target these families, DFPS says they'll resume their persecution of parents with transgender kids.

    I don’t think it’s right or fair to decree who can sit in those circles, who gets to seek support. Straight, gay, trans, lesbian, bi people all experience and understand sexual assault. It’s about supporting each other, not turning your back because someone is not like you.

    I'm a 50-year-old gay man. I lived through the anti-gay moral panic of the 80s and the many battles against discriminatory legislation and social injustice of the 90s and 2000s, and I'm here to tell you that what is being done to trans people today is what was done to us then.

    This piece from highlights an important corollary--the restrictions on contraception and enforcement of gender norms under Franco, Mussolini, and Hitler followed mass casualties of the 1918 pandemic and WWI
