The accusation that trans kids existing and receiving gender-affirming care is a form of gay conversion therapy has long held sway in gender-critical circlesβbut the reality of trans lives undoes the argument, writes @katelynburns.com:
Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.
This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.
The study underpinning this played one particular trick.
Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5
"The poor deserve endless cruelty and punishment for being poor" is a foundational belief of this social order, across political parties, among liberals and conservatives. It is evil and unforgivable.
I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

Let's hope Paul Bernardo joins Allan Legere soon.
I didn't move to Miramichi until a decade after Legere was caught, but I have friends who remember the year Halloween was cancelled.

A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background. Transcribed Text: BREAKING Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.
BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu
Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you canβt be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
John Brown and his sons famously hacked 5 pro-slavery men to death in Kansas. Using broadswords. Contemporaries credit them with scaring the fuck out of the slavers at the realization that some of the "free men" were also willing to be brutally violent.
Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first β putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

Where are my fellow bald baddies at?
Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said the βbetter off deadβ narrative being weaponized against us would be used for other groups of people.
The fascists wonβt ever stop. They see everyone else as less than. Expendable. Not worthy of life.
Its eugenics on a massive scale

This bald baddie managed to get out to do a few things today, including buying a new couch (my old one is over 20 years old) and picking up my prescriptions.
H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

That ABA had its origins as a conversion therapy for boys who were deemed pathologically "effeminate," and it wasn't until homosexuality was removed from the DSM in the 70s that O. Ivar Lovaas, who is on record as saying Autistic children are not fully human, turned his Skinnerian torture on us.
