I was asked recently to talk about the relationship between authoritarianism and trans people. So, naturally, I made it about goats. sames.substack.com/p/how-to-survive-a-crusade

Thank you to @lgbtqbar.bsky.social for including me in this year's 40 Under 40. I'm so grateful to be on this list of brilliant folks doing brilliant work, some of which is saving literal lives. You are actual heroes and it's a genuine honor to even have my name alongside yours. tinyurl.com/yvp56yz3

It's still just under the wire of TDOV on the East Coast - but SCOTUS made sure this wasn't like any other TDOV. I thought some perspective on Chiles v. Salazar from someone who spent their spryest years in the fight to end conversion therapy might be useful. sames.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

Last month, HHS put out a report on gender-affirming care that reads like a checklist of logical fallacies. @adrianshanker.bsky.social & I published a piece in @newsweek.com on the consequences of misrepresenting evidence, and the real science behind healthcare for trans youth. tinyurl.com/3ryx2tbu
