Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

I'm kind of tired of pretending that "sense of brotherhood" is a real, meaningful term and isn't just a euphemism for men's spaces where they bond over misogynistic humiliation rituals and coach each other on how best to commit sexual assault.

nearly every trans woman, if not literally all of us, have seen this. we've seen men in groups, what they say about women and queers, how they treat *each other*, and it's horrifying! it's no wonder why the few I trust personally were never there plenty of men who seem fine become beasts in private

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

When you analyze transmisogyny with any degree of rigor, you quickly find that trans women aren't seen or treated as men at all. We're called men to position us as threats, as brutes, as "people who don't experience misogyny" even as people treat us misogynistically, as wretches beneath contempt.

The modern conservative project explicitly supports impregnating children. The trans panic, anti-abortion politics, fearmongering about "over-medication" and disability support: it all comes back to a patriarchal freakout about losing control over who they see as their reproductive property.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

The Texas Children's "detransition clinic" settlement is out and among its many requirements is that TCH keeps two lists of patients who have any mention of “gender dysphoria” in their medical records: a "Break the Glass" list and a "potential GAC patient list" with an unspecified purpose
“Break the Glass” Patient List. TCH shall maintain a confidential, access-restricted
patient list (the “Break the Glass List” or “BTG List”), which shall include all
patients—regardless of payor type, including without limitations patients covered by
commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, or any other governmental payor
program—who have one or more ICD-10 diagnosis codes within the F64.xx code
category (Gender Identity Disorders/Gender Dysphoria) appearing anywhere in such
patient’s medical records or claims history maintained by or accessible to TCH. The
obligations imposed in this section shall remain effective for a period of 10-years.Potential GAC Patient List. In addition to the F64.xx codes specified in subsection
(j), TCH shall create a supplemental “Potential GAC Patient List” within 30-days of
the Effective Date to include any patient who has one or more diagnosis codes, however
denominated, appearing in such patient’s medical records or claims history that are

identified in Exhibit C to this Agreement (“OAG Designated Codes”). Within thirty
(30) days of the Effective Date, TCH shall query its full medical records and claims

all patients with any OAG Designated Codes in their history, and shall add all such
patients to the Potential GAC Patient List. The obligations in this section shall remain
effective for a period of 10-years.
