Gotta say that this is some extremely creepy language. And the argument basically is... that if the prevent people from treating gender dysphoria (adults, in this case), that they'll just... stop having it? That's not at all how any of this works.
The first state in the US to remove statutory protections for an entire class, gender identity, has just enacted a bill preventing local municipalities from having their own protections for trans people.

I think trans people are among the least surprised by this 'radical incrementalism'. We've been saying it for *years* now.
Give them an inch, they'll take a life.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: “The buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.”
Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."
People have got to understand that I am reporting out changes to the platform’s official rules
That means I am going to talk about changes some people may personally agree with and others may disagree with
I am highlighting all changes so people know what is changing
I think this is a good thread. As a parent, it’s a practice to take your own ego out of the relationship with your teen and remember that teens do care a lot about what their family thinks (even if they don’t always act like it :)
Trans genocide is about the genocide of trans people, actually.
""I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue ..."
I too would rather ignore politicians but alas they have too much power over how I live.
These are some of the biggest SubscribeStar content changes to pay attention to. And yes, this is explicitly due to payment processors

A screenshot of a news article excerpt featuring a quote. A portion of the text is highlighted in light blue: "purchase potent, experimental medications with just a few simple clicks." The full quote reads: “Gender-confused kids should not be able to purchase potent, experimental medications with just a few simple clicks,” he added. “These hormones carry significant risks, including effects that can be irreversible. We urge the FDA and other federal agencies to investigate any potential unlawful sellers and, where appropriate, for states to do the same when their laws are being violated.”
It's legitimately insane how they describe hormones, some of the most widely prescribed medications in existence in this way.
***Taps the sign.
What's remarkable is how they cast widely prescribed drugs, available in much of the world without a prescription as "potent, experimental medications." News outlets regularly report cis people taking them without issue. It's pure fear mongering.
To be blunt, I would not be surprised if Patreon gets hit with another paypro targeting spree in the year ahead
A 4th circuit panel of Republican appointees has ruled that Medicaid coverage bans on gender affirming care for adults are not unconstitutional. They cited Skrmetti 70 times in the decision. The en banc circuit court previously found it unconstitutional.

This is the court endorsing coercive practices by the state to force trans people not to exist. "It is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens to appreciate their sex and not become disdainful of their sex by refusing to fund experimental procedures that may have the opposite effect"
This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.
16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. It’s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.
I'm about to read through this, just ripping all my ASMR stuff of
Lowlights on the changes are as follows... @acvalens.com @sexpositivegaming.bsky.social
PS: This isn't saying all of it is wrong, these are just changes shown to you in facts. A lot of furries, sleep sex, hypno and ironically maybe even my own Nora isn't allowed on the new SStar.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

be aware so you can back files, contacts, etc up while you still can. plan for migration offsite.

If I could indulge a little bit of sentimentality: Marathon was my first AAA project and my first paid game capture gig. Considering how most of my work was done on a PS5 controller, I got the Marathon one to celebrate 👾
Abughamentum!!!
does anyone else remember this? i swear New York City's skyline used to have these two giant things right where One WTC is. is this the Mandela Effect?
