This is rough but I think it talks about a lot of what is missing from the Cunningham/WNBA discourse. Namely, that trans people are not hypothetical thought experiments. They are real people who are being genocided by our government & any coverage that doesn't center that reality misses the mark.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

From Breakthrough News on x:
BREAKING: Israel bombed Hamas negotiators in Doha, Qatar as they gathered to discuss Trump's
"ceasefire" proposal — a deal so thin it now looks like bait.
A Hamas official told Al Jazeera the talks were a trap, recalling Trump's use of nuclear negotiations with Iran to target its leaders. Israel has confirmed that the White House was notified in advance.
Qatar, which hosts the US military's Central Command, condemned the Israeli strike, which leaves any future ceasefire talks in serious doubt.

Read @jaywillis.net: ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mcmah...
What I am saying is that the manner in which the Court decided McMahon—a perfunctory order granting the government’s application for a stay of a lower court, order pending further developments at the First Circuit and (if applicable) the Supreme Court—should be understood as a humiliating abdication of the grand constitutional role the justices imagine themselves to fill. As bad as McMahon is, over the last two centuries, the Court has done lots of things that are just as weighty and/or heinous as imbuing the president with the constitutional authority to nuke Cabinet-level departments with the stroke of a pen. But when it did so, the Court used to at least feel compelled to write more than a single fucking paragraph in its own defense.

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year. This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist. apnews.com/article/heal...
On average, VUMC has provided five gender affirming surgeries to minors every year since its transgender clinic opened in 2018. All were over the age of 16 and had parental consent, and none received genital procedures.
