4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans
They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.
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.

Borderline Personality Trump and the Uses of Press Myopia
Every president wants favorable press coverage. Most feel a surprising level of...
βTrump is like your friend whoβs borderline. You need compliant news orgs who will keep their coverage within the drama & not stepping back from the crisis du jour to look at the bigger context, which is that these situations are almost always of Trumpβs own making, & inflamed by his incompetence.β

H.R. 7661 could restrict federal funding for schools over LGBTQIA+ and sex education content. Here's what's at stake and how to fight back.
It's long past time the American left launch a meaningful free speech movement to push back against these bad-faith trolls and religious zealots.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

We are very far from normal, my friends, but the language the judge uses here is shocking.
Any other time, this would fly through legal commentators with a collective gasp. Here and now, it's a Monday.

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.
The court JUST said thereβs no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.
