this post is designed to be an example of the kinds of things happening to trans people right now. nobody is asking for new stuff, they're asking for the stuff happening now to stop getting worse

what a terrible failure of both our sanctuaries
Toro de Paula, speaking in Spanish in a telephone interview from the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, run by GEO Group, told me that she “came to the United States because I heard that here they respected the laws for trans women.” In New York, she found doctors who prescribed her hormones and helped her begin the process of medical transition. “I felt cared for, protected, loved, respected. And truly, I will never forget what’s happening to me now

It's feeling more like 2006 than 2026. Yesterday's meeting of the federal autism advisory committee was supposed to be about a new strategic plan that would reshape autism research. It was, instead, dominated by calls to consider vaccines as a cause for autism. www.statnews.com/2026/08/28/v...

A member of IACC, the federal committee that shapes autism research, just said their new strategic plan "leaves the door open" on research into potential "triggers" of autism — including vaccines.

There is something so frustrating about watching basically every staff sports writer completely mangle this story about transphobia in the WNBA, while so many trans journalists who would do a great job (and who have been pitching stories about this!) are struggling to get hired and make ends meet.

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

When disabled people/many people who work on disability/health pointed to the dangers of this kind of framing since COVID, they were usually mocked ("oh you think everything is eugenics") or ignored. But normalising the idea that the deaths of disabled people are desirable/reassuring is dangerous.
