I was just thinking like a patreon or something where people can donate to help you cover the cost of court documents and you could also provide updates there or share the documents so everyone who’s interested can view them.

Have you ever considered setting up a way where people can donate to you to help pay for court documents? Because I’d like to donate to that

Noooooooo Your coverage of LGBTQ rights in particular in Congress was invaluable! We really, really need you in congress to report on these things since most other reporters won’t! I really hope someone hires you and you can continue doing it!

He ran explicitly anti trans ads in 2024 and lost. So it seems he learned the lesson that being explicitly anti trans doesn’t help you win. This new approach is much better!

For The 19th, I'm looking to speak with trans voters in states where Democratic candidates have adopted more conservative rhetoric (& policy positions) around trans people. How are you feeling? Has this changed how you plan to vote in November? I'd love to listen. DM or email: brooke@19thnews.org!

The “detransition” crowd is nasty in general. It was arguably the best thing to ever happen to them otherwise they’d have to work real jobs, not get paid by billionaire front groups to cry around the country.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, trans people deserve better. And I understand not wanting to associate with them. But on the other hand, if things are ever going to change, we need people within their leadership who are willing to call them out like you have been.

Glad it’s getting more views! Maybe you should consider moving the fact that she transitioned as an adult to the top of the article (at least temporarily) to ensure most people know that since that was one of the most misleading things in her ad

The majority of Dems in congress have consistently voted against anti trans bills and not made anti trans comments. Only around a dozen or so Dems in congress have done that, which is concerning, but still not most

Not really surprising. Don Davis has always been one of the most anti trans Dems in congress, perhaps just as bad as Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar. Davis was also the only Dem to make a formal press release supporting the BPJ Supreme Court ruling in June…

NEW: QueerDoc is seeking en banc review by the Ninth Circuit of the 2-1 decision from earlier this month siding with DOJ's invasive administrative subpoenas probing gender-affirming medical care provided to minors. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/ninth-circ...
By “avoid[ing] the clear error standard of review for factual findings,” Op.
86 (Paez, J., dissenting), the panel legally erred and issued a decision
that conflicts with numerous decisions of this Court, the Supreme Court,
and other courts of appeals, see Fed. R. App. P. 40(b)(2)(A)-(C).
In addition, the panel’s decision implicates questions concerning
the separation of powers that are of exceptional importance. See Fed. R.
App. P. 40(b)(2)(D). If allowed to stand, the panel’s decision will
significantly limit judicial review of administrative subpoenas issued to
harass and intimidate those associated with causes disfavored by the
President, rendering meaningless the statutory restraints imposed by
Congress to limit agencies’ investigative power.
This Court should grant rehearing en banc to resolve the conflicts
created by the panel’s decision and to address the important questions
raised by these proceedings.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

There's also the fact that psychiatric co-morbidities are a contraindication for being approved for Gender Affirming Care in Finland, so the researchers engage in confirmation bias from the get go. The methodology services the conclusion. I highly recommend @erininthemorning.com piece on the study:

Fact Check: New Finnish "Study" Does Not Prove "Trans Youth Care Leads To Worse Outcomes"
The latest Kaltiala study is filled with fatal methodological flaws, and does not support claims made about trans youth care lacking efficacy.

Republicans in Ohio are now running an Anti-Trans ad attacking Sherrod Brown with Texas #DeTransLaw plaintiff Soren Aldaco. As a reminder, Soren had top surgery at 19. She voluntarily dismissed her HRT physician from the lawsuit and the Texas CoA just dismissed the appeal against her surgical team.

Now do Amy Acton. I want to also say, Equality Ohio and other progressive dem orgs weakness on holding Amy Acton’s feet to the fire is what lead to Marcy Kaptur feeling emboldened to proceed with her own anti-trans ad.
