it’s an even bigger ask because they’d have overturn not only Obergefell but also the RFMA passed by Congress in 2022. not impossible but harder to pull off

13) I really think affordable gas cars kinda peaked with the Honda Fit 13a) and the fact the US market can no longer sustain selling them here is pretty indicative that this system is devouring itself

my bisexuality isn’t so much man vs. woman. it’s a spectrum that goes from Barbie Ferreira on one end and a 50-year-old Clint Eastwood on the other

me watching The L Word and imagining a 2006 where “lesbian-identified males” existed as a missing link between an unspoken alienation with gender-as-assigned-at-birth and a more widespread acceptance of trans people of varying sexuality

 Sec. 9.05. (A) As used in the Revised Code:
(1) "Boy" means a juvenile human male.
Am. Sub. H. B. No. 96 136th G.A.
15
(2) "Female" means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large
reproductive cell.
(3) "Gender identity" means an individual's internal and subjective sense of self,
disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an infinite continuum, that does not
provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex.
(4) "Girl" means a juvenile human female.
(5) "Male" means an individual belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small
reproductive cell.
(6) "Man" means an adult human male.
(7) "Sex" means the biological indication of male and female, including sex chromosomes,
naturally occurring sex hormones, gonads, and nonambiguous internal and external genitalia present
at birth, without regard to an individual's psychological, chosen, or subjective experience of gender.
(8) "Woman" means an adult human female.
(B) It is the policy of the state of Ohio to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes
are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it.

First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

saw an Axios article talking about parts of the OBB that were struck by the Parliamentarian, with no mention of the trans medicaid ban. is the Byrd Bath ongoing til the final vote or did she not find fault with the ban? t.co/2R5V1F3qGW

Democrats wrestle whether to kill ban on trans care in Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Democrats have an opportunity to protect transgender people’s health care. It also comes at a time when Republicans see anti-trans policies as a winning issue, Eric Garcia writes

One part that surprised me while reporting this piece? Ruben Gallego, who said he doesn't think trans people should be in some women's sports, told me Dems would oppose the trans ban on Medicaid. "I think it's outside the boundaries of reconciliation."
