I Thought I Was Saving Trans Kids. Now I’m Blowing the Whistle.

There are more than 100 pediatric gender clinics across the U.S. I worked at one. What’s happening to children is morally and medically appalling.

Jamie Reed: The Courage to Admit You’re Wrong

When I blew the whistle on a transgender clinic, some suggested I had been ‘brainwashed by the right.’ No. I’m a progressive who follows science.

I Spent 13 Years Living as a Man. But After My Spouse’s Exposé, I’m Detransitioning.

When Jamie Reed revealed the dangers of gender-affirming care for minors, I felt threatened. That’s because she was right.

by Roxanne Reed

Why I Hope the Supreme Court Upholds the Ban on Child Transition

Today, the top legal minds in the country will consider whether there’s a constitutional right to harm children. Jamie Reed asks: How did we get to this point?

the last sentence in the first paragraph lacks a punctuation mark. there's inappropriate semi-colon use, hyphens instead of em dashes (by the end she got one right) fragmented sentences, sentences starting with conjunctions... this would be embarrassing work for a 9th grader.

I truly don't understand the evil calculation that you can throw trans people to the fascist mob & somehow prosper. You will never succeed in your cynical, too clever by half aims, you have already surrendered something essential. Imagine if the counteroffer to the Right was: nothing. Not one inch!

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

BREAKING: Mamdani and Lander will cross-endorse. The partnership, which is being announced one day before early voting begins, would effectively turn Mamdani and Lander into something of a joint entry. They hope that one of them will eventually accumulate many of the other’s votes as a result.

The only reason Andrew Cuomo hasn't gotten more speed camera tickets in New York City is because he's only lived in New York City for less than a year. Don't rank Cuomo.

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.

4) Do not normalize proving your citizenship status on demand. You are not required to do that. Refuse. White American citizens are safest in refusing because they're the hardest to fuck with and they should use it.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!
