I am assuming at some point, I will be falsely accused of some misconduct, which will be assumed credible solely by the virtue of my being trans, and trans people no longer have the assumption of benign intent

I’m in a high risk group for this type of campaign A prominent advocate in a high profile position in health care. I’ve already preemptively met with administration and legal to navigate how I would approach this should it happen Scary times to be a trans person with a public facing job

The rich and powerful get different medical care, and essentially follow different screening guidelines, because cost-effectiveness is no longer a determinative factor in decision making

I am a trans physician and there is absolutely a way that caring health care providers can balance the need to acknowledge anatomic and physiologic reality in the medical context while respecting the dignity and identity of the patient

And the reason Earle-Sears has leaning into this so hard is because is because even though it’s not the #1 issue among most voters, it the only issue that matters for those that do rank it #1

SEGM is evidence based only on the sense that they have an outcome of interest that they are extremely wedded to, and they are seeking an evidence base to support their preferred outcome

President Trump is demanding that Syracuse go back to calling themselves the Orangemen and that the San Antonio Spurs change their name to Bone Spurs.

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

It’s not relevant to the argument. Of course it’s terrible for the people that are being targeted by the conceit.

I’m not passing judgement. It’s just a fact The electorate is negatively predisposed against trans athletes The electorate is negatively predisposed against Palestinians As a result, it is a useful figleaf for concealing the true intent of crushing academia

I get why it happened. But it did happen Which is why it’s a useful pretext

Laura T @lauraellyn.bsky.social · 20/03/2025
It’s the pretext because it’s easier for middle America to get behind “let keep trans women out of college athletics” than to get their support for “let’s block $175M of funding for medical and scientific research”

They are going to do this at many more universities. Especially if they think it’s working. In Columbia, antisemitism was the focus. In other places, they will pick some random DEI administrator, some technical violation in immigration policy, whatever it takes to apply the chokehold.

DEI is the pretext Killing the University as a liberal stronghold is the goal

I don't take a back seat to anyone on the subject of anti-semitism. Jews are being used here as a fig leaf to advance a broader attack on universities and higher learning. Trump wants to bring Universities to heel and obedience. Jews are just a convenient cudgel here and just as disposable.

Where Pubmed shuts down completely, becomes a paid service, or is enshittified beyond being useful, it is another demonstration of many why the world can no longer rely on the goodwill of the US to support the common wealth

Laura T @lauraellyn.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
There are 2 reason that will be cited as support for the shutdown 1) why should the government be providing a “free” service that is essentially quite valuable 2) why should the government be supporting a service that lets scientists search for articles about DEI, racism, trans people, etc.

More on Pubmed While todays instability seems to be an anticipated result of what happens when your fire employees with little regard for what they do (including those responsible for maintaining access to essential databases), I have every reason to believe that it will soon be a DOGE target
