This kind of stuff really shows how anti-trans sports bans and policies meant to segregate trans people really have nothing to do with "competitive advantage." All this trans girl wanted to do was run for homecoming queen. Like the students would still have to vote for her to even win!

Whelp, this is a pretty gross ad from Brown. It would have been completely fine without the "transgender surgeries for kids are already illegal in Ohio" part. Notably, that law also bans all gender affirming care for youth, and top surgery for older teens, which sometimes is necessary.

I never thought I would see "ai accelerationist" or "doomer" out of Obama's mouth. What a wild world, lol. For what it's worth, I also think we need to slow down AI development and stop building data centers.

Barack Obama

@BarackObama
I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.

But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.

I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.

I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.

But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.

He's wrong about virtually everything in this post, except for one thing. Equality Ohio DID surrender trans people, like Amy Acton did. When your org capitulates to the point anti-trans leaders celebrate like this, you know you did wrong. Ashamed to ever have had a good relationship with the org.

This statement from @EqualityOhio is the ultimate sign of surrender from them.
They know their positions are politically toxic, because no one wants transgender procedures done on kids, and no one wants boys in girls sports. EQOH is just too scared to press Democrats to take clear stances.
They're hoping a wink and a nod will let @amyactonoh skate by in the election, without having the crazy LGBT issues drag her down like a ton of bricks.
It should be simple: does Amy think minors should have access to "gender-affirming care" and double mastectomies? Isn't this the entire reason EQOH exists?
Equality Ohio has updated Dr. Amy Acton's score from an 'A' to a 'B' to acknowledge harm to transgender communities.
Dr. Acton made harmful remarks related to transgender people back on June 30, 2026. In response, we placed her score under review and requested that she engage directly with Equality Ohio and transgender community leaders. Members of her campaign engaged with us, but the meeting we requested with Dr. Acton has not happened yet.
The Acton campaign has updated their website to include LGBTQ anti-discrimination to their campaign platform. We have confirmed the campaign has met with LGBTQ leaders and parents of transgender children.
Her campaign also wrote to the press that she "will always stand up for Ohioans, including the LGBT community. As governor, she is committed to standing up to discrimination and ensuring all Ohioans receive equal protection under the law." She went on to affirm that healthcare decisions should be between a patient and their provider.
We have not been able to confirm meaningful engagement directly between their campaign and transgender communities.
The 'B' now reflects the concern about support of trans Ohioans, alongside her broader record and positions. A 'B' means "insufficient record but supportive public statements."
Dr. Acton's comments didn't happen in a vacuum. They're part of a broader pattern of politicians …
