the Washington Post piece about declining LGBTQ kids is transparently designed to convince conservatives (and democrats with no moral backbone) that targeting queers *is* working to get rid of us, that it *is* social contagion, despite both things not being true.

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

There is a direct line from Newsom and Buttigieg running around the country a year ago saying "we have some concerns about trans people" to Democrats openly using anti-trans slurs in campaign ads today. It's why we pushed back so hard then. We knew where it would lead. And we know where this goes.

A new study of the Indus Valley city of Mohenjo-daro (c. 2600–1900 BCE) indicates that egalitarian structures increased there with the expansion of the city. Perhaps urbanism doesn’t always conjure inequality? Really wish that David Graeber was still here to read this.

White cis women of all political stripes have expressed horror in the wake of the news from Cornell and yet, I keep thinking how the majority of them have voted for Trump x3. And how many on the other side believe their freedom can be electorally bartered in exchange for the rights of trans women.
The apotheosis of this narrativization can be found in a scene of Hulu’s Mrs. America. Phyllis Schlafly, portrayed by Cate Blanchett, is riding high after her campaigning successfully defeats the Equal Rights Amendment. Her phone rings; it’s Ronald Reagan, who tells her that her coalition helped carry him across the finish line. However, he can’t offer Schlafly a position in his administration, but thank you and take care. Schlafly stares blankly out her window; her husband asks her about dinner; a single tear rolls down her cheek, and she gets to work.

It is certainly a poignant scene in a poignant miniseries. One that never got around to mentioning how Phyllis Schlafly continued to be a conservative activist long after 1980, or that she once described teaching the history of the Holocaust in schools as “child abuse”.

defenders of rape jokes would not say, "You have to be able to joke about that sort of thing." That would say, "That's not funny!" They don't really believe that everything is fair game for jokes. They're just haggling about the price, as it were.

If children had any political power, instead of being treated like property, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Exhibit A: Attacks on Critical Race Theory started in schools as "parents' rights" and book bans-- within 7 years, this morphed into an anti-DEI purge of adults in workplaces and academia.

"[...]you have a league that is all women, predominantly Black women, largely queer women who have been successful and they don't need men to do it, and their product is not necessarily for men. I think that's a threat to the status quo." It so often is. And Bigotry, too often the result.

Bigots are fools, they are people who CHOSE ignorance. And you're seeing, in America, what happens when they take control. Dragging this country, and the world, down to utter mediocrity -- and worse -- if they can. This was, in fact, the true lesson to learn from Jim Crow.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.
