They're moving on from trans youth towards advocating banning care for trans adults, just like we said they would.

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government (Gift Article)
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

This is the world JK Rowling helped create. This is what Harry Potter is funding. All the legal challenges to enforce this regime are backed by Rowling and her Harry Potter money.

I'm tracking anti-trans ad spending live via Meta and Google's political ad libraries. There's an absolute tsunami of it that started in September.
A screenshot of a data dashboard table in the file image_6bc8ec.png tracking political and issue-based advertising metrics. The table is currently sorted by a "LAST SEEN" column in descending order and includes additional columns for "ADVERTISER", "TYPE" (such as org, candidate, or party), "FLAGGED ADS", "DISCLOSED SPEND", "FIRST SEEN", "MAIN THEME", and "REVIEW". The rows display data for various groups and figures, such as Do No Harm Medicine, America PAC, and Alliance Defending Freedom, categorized by themes including "Medical weaponized," "Identity framing," and "Dehumanizing wedge."

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.   That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

Ben Shapiro spends his entire show mocking the WNBA and its players. Including a montage his team put together of missed shots at the All-Star game which he laughs at. It's incredible how much transphobia can just let you be an open misogynist.

"There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”
BOISE, Idaho — After May Pollard died on a late-January morning, a detective asked her parents a question: Had anyone wanted to hurt her?

“A lot of America,” her mother answered.

Less than an hour earlier, Elyse Thorpe had found her daughter’s body inside their home, called 911 and sobbed as she tried to revive her. May, an avid poet and gamer, had been struggling and increasingly withdrawn.

Now, at 16, she was gone. And the detective, from the Boise Police Department, wanted to know what Elyse meant.

May’s father answered instead.

“There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole f-----g country. The whole f-----g administration, every single f-----g day.”

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.
A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) featuring two posts by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling).
​The first post reads: 'Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org'.
​This first post includes a quote post from the account Trans Widows’ Voices. (@transwidows) that says: 'Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do ...'
​The second post, a reply in the thread by J.K. Rowling, reads: 'Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.'"

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

It's really hard to convey just how massive the scale of legislation has been to target trans people. From a few dozen pieces of legislation in 2015 to over a thousand in 2025. It started with sports bans in 2020 and now we're here. it was never about sports.
A bar chart titled "Figure 1: Anti-LGBTQ bills introduced per year, 2015–2026." The chart displays two sets of bars for each year: "Bills Introduced" (dark red/gray) and "Bills Enacted" (yellow). The data shows a significant upward trend in introduced bills starting in 2020, peaking in 2025 at over 1,000 bills, with the 2026 data representing a partial count as of March 2026. The source is noted as LegiAlerts.org Big Compilation Anti-LGBTQ Legislation Sheet.
