you should have basic knowledge of sex hormone endocrinology if youre on hrt or want to b. this sounds hard? like wouldnt i have to go to medical school? if you have a defense of professional integrity on your tongue this means you havent been disappointed yet but you dont have to learn the hard way

New conversion "therapy" ban signed into law in Colorado alongside an executive order barring any state funds going towards conversion "therapy." Happy Pride!

Had to do a double take when Maxine described herself as a "lapsed-catholic disaster transsexual" in Ch. 32 of @badambulist.bsky.social's "When You Fell From Heaven." As far as I can tell, Shon Faye was the first to use it to describe herself in "Love in Exile." Love it.

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Editors' Note, 1/4/26:

A spokesperson from The New York Times emailed Trans News Network the Sunday after publication, disputing various parts of the interview. We reject their disputes as unsubstantiated, nitpicking or willful misreads. We have added minor clarifications at two points in the interview alongside the transcript, which remains as published. We stand by our reporting of the interview with Sweeney, former editor and 11-year veteran of the Times.

The Times also provided TNN a statement responding to the interview, which we have declined to publish due to its inclusion of overt transphobia (such as framing the existence of trans people as “fiercely contested medical and legal debates”). Even in their PR, it seems that the Times can't stop denigrating our lives and communities.

We do not have an obligation to publish damage control on the behalf of a news outlet undergoing a legitimacy crisis because of their own actions.

A really sad follow-up to this story — Alexis Erlinmeyer, one of the trans federal intelligence workers who was fired, has died of a pulmonary embolism. She was 31. Her family is burying her under her deadname, so friends are fundraising for an accurate memorial: www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...

Just stumbled upon one of the wildest reddit threads I've ever seen. Roommate and I are trying to guess if it's real or fake.

Picture of a medium steak cut in half on a blue plate with a hand holding a vial of estradiol off to the side.

Reddit post in r/kitchencel titled "started taking estrogem - not because I'm trans, but to stop being attracted to women. Overcooked steak that is dry as hell"

Post reads "Even though it made my attraction towards women greater, I don't get horny anymore, which is great. I read that bottom surgery can help so I want that next. But now I kinda fucked myself because no women would want a guy with boobs who also wants bottom surgery. If anyone knows a drug or surgery that would make me stop being attracted to women I'd love to read about it. It's important that it doesn't just change it to men, but turns attraction off like a demagnetizer."

If trans people make up 0.5% of the population, then more cis people will be incorrectly ID'd than trans people correctly ID'd until they identifier has a 99.5% probability of correct ID. If trans people are 1.5% of population, the identifier needs a probability of 98.5%. 4/4

Olivia Ann Compton @olivia-ann.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

The graph shows the percentage of people ID'd as trans who are in fact cis for a given odds of correct ID. Only 100% odds of correct ID result in no cis people being discriminated against. 3/4

Olivia Ann Compton @olivia-ann.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Assume the trans population is 1% of the overall population. If someone can correctly ID trans and cis people 99% of the time, they will incorrectly ID the same number of cis people as trans as they will correctly ID trans people as trans. Put another way, 50% are false positives (typr 1 error). 2/4

To all the reporters writing headlines about how trans people may be refused bathroom access in the UK based on appearance. It will almost certainly cause more cis women to be denied bathroom access. 1/4

Graph titled "Type 1 Error (%)." The vertical axis is labeled "# Cis ID'd as Trans / # ID'd as Trans," and the horizontal axis is labeled "Odds of Correct ID." The line is bowed outward and downward sloping with a y-intercept at (0.9,91.67) and an x-intercept at (1,0).

Not sure exactly what you are looking to do, but hanging punctuation can be handled by microtype, which latexml can process. Otherwise, the source code for hanging should be fairly straightforward to implement using supported packages.

The lack of any consistent alignment is a dead giveaway. Centered at first glance, but actually aligned slightly left of center, but not consistently. Then the last two are aligned slightly right of center. Absolute slop.

A bunch of rich and powerful people were too stupid to look past her great grandfather's achievements, and the documentary spent its entire runtime trying to rationalize their brain rot to protect their image. The nepotism was so obvious.

They've also uncritically adopted the phrase "biological boys" which is effective at conjuring parental concern, but trans girls are not boys nor are they "biologocal boys" especially if they are on puberty blockers and/or hormones. Anytime this phrasing is used, they need to push back immediately.

Olivia Ann Compton @olivia-ann.bsky.social · 28/07/2025

Journalists and those with institutional power have completely ceded control of framing. "Parent's" concerns are already addressed in most instances, making those concerns unfounded. In the instances where their concerns might be founded, the solution exists. They just don't like it and never will.

I'd go back to 2004 when I was 13. I told my therapist I wanted to be a girl, but I quickly reeled it back in because I was worried that she would tell my mom and my mom wouldn't love me anymore. I would tell my younger self that my mom still loves me and how much happier I could be.

I recently re-experienced this when I got a bad vial of estradiol. I felt awful. Knowing what I was experiencing and what the cure is made it unbearable at times. The prospect of forced detransition is terrifying because I don't know if I'll be able to hold on.
