I didn’t realize that either! 🙌 I had been waiting for it for a long time and then gave up

I loved this book, too! Haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about it given how good it is

Not the point but “gender-critical” is such a weird term, both in context and out. I was super gender-critical, which is why I transitioned…

Why does “minor” now mean <19? And I wish these articles would include data on the number of surgeries actually performed on “minors”. In 2019, of 151 breast reduction procedures performed on minors nationally, 97% were for cis boys. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Stanford Medicine ends surgeries for transgender minors amid pressure from Trump administration
As Children's Hospital Los Angeles scales back healthcare for trans youth, Stanford Medicine has stopped performing gender-affirming surgeries on patients younger than 19.

I don't really know how to interpret this other than the Republican party is now pro-fascism. 86% of Republicans support "Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to respond to the L.A. protests" Marines doing domestic law enforcement is illegal! How is it so popular? wapo.st/4e5mhr2

We asked 1,000 Americans about the L.A. protests. This is how they responded.
Americans are divided on Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to L.A., Post-Schar School poll finds.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid! A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors." Subscribe to support my journalism.

House Spending Bill Now Bans Medicaid For Transition Care For Adults
The provision was stricken late at night to appeal to hardline conservatives.

I think this is going to be true across all sorts of sectors. People are going to crave human touches, idiosyncrasy, niche tastes, and maybe above all, the ability to be pleasantly surprised by experiences

And even if I did think trans women in sports was an unsolved problem (I don't b/c it isn't), it would still rank way behind things like sending innocent people to notoriously violent prisons in other countries and refusing to bring them back. For example.

Actually *being* trans is a less significant part of my personality than having once competed against a trans woman is for these "influencers". And yes, I played D1 (pre-transition) so I get elite competition. Being a former D1 player is also a less significant part of my personality ...

This might be the most terrifying thing I've ever read. Truly, this reads like the prequel to a dystopian novel set a few years later, in which all speech, movement, relationships, task completion, and interactions are tracked and used by a vindictive, malevolent govt. And yes, we were warned.

It seems they want the masculine ideal to be mean and cruel and rapey. But then when something like #metoo encourages people to react to that rationally, they lose their minds and shout “not all men!” Why is anyone surprised that men are lonely when being masc = being a predator?

MS Word is in the top spot on my list of products that needs upgrades to its core functions but is instead getting mutilated by AI nonsense. CEOs for consumer-facing tech companies, I beg you: stop it with the AI “integrations”, just make your product better at doing the thing it was made to do

How is MS Word still SO BAD when it comes to CV and other formats? Trying to update mine and it's like a comedy of errors. I delete one entry and suddenly have 2 new blank pages inserted. Try to add a bullet point and suddenly the margins are all over the place. So frustrating

Truly awed by this. Is there some law preventing men from taking up hobbies to make things in “the image of God the maker”? Every middle aged woman I know is pumping out those little crochet animals. Maybe men could try that? Instead of wrecking the economy?

I sincerely hope that myth dies with this administration. Also, the one that says we need businessmen to run the gov’t “like a business”. Or the one about how the GOP is stronger on defense.
