11. As for the ‘goods’ in question, Yenor is unequivocal: children. In fact, he dedicates 2/3rd of his answer to these questions on fertility alone, and he asserted that "High-intensity exercise increases infertility; moderate exercise assists fertility more than any other approach to exercise."
Seems like the HHS isn't abandoning its anti-trans rule after all...
Lindsey Graham was anti-gay and even that couldn't hide his ladybugs. Look, anti-trans Trump official Dr. Oz, you can't hide HRT breast growth forever. Just come out already. It's no big deal. ...it's two big deals.
8. On Tuesday, HB 2009 was signed into law by Governor Mike Kehoe. Effective yesterday, it now governs the Missouri DOC’s operations—as well as the lives of the trans people in its custody. It also makes Missouri the 6th state to pass a law entirely banning gender-affirming care within its prisons.
It's DR Congo and trans people vs. England today and England is 1-0 down
My article was apparently posted to a website called ChristianForums and…it seems they’re finally figuring it out 😂
6. But while Kansas’ law might be the most extreme example, what it accomplishes isn’t unique. Just this year, a record 6 states (striped below) have passed laws or adopted policies restricting gender markers on driver’s licenses, bringing the total number of states with these policies from 4 to 10.
"Who are you cheering for in the World Cup?" Me: it's complicated ok
Anti-trans group ‘Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender’ is trying to weaponize my anti-trans Dems tracker. So I took it down. To them, I say this: you—and all other supporters of the gender-affirming care ban that nearly killed me—don’t get to value my work if you don’t value my life.
The GOP-led US House passed a ‘don’t say trans’ and forced outing bill today. Aside from requiring parental consent when changing a trans kid's pronouns/name, it also bans schools from "teaching or advancing concepts related to gender ideology." These 8 Democrats voted for it. Shame on them.
@cwnewser.bsky.social One did: HB 2009, an appropriations bill containing a ban on care for trans people in prisons. It passed both chambers and awaits the governor's signature. As someone who has covered trans prison issues extensively: this absolutely counts as an anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
Virulently anti-trans Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams, widely considered to be Ohio's most anti-LGBTQ+ politician, just lost his bid to win the GOP nomination for Ohio's 9th U.S. House District, a swing district held by Democrats. Transphobia was his whole personality and now he's unemployed.
2. This move follows months of reporting on a potential trans gun ban, and aside stating that "individuals completing forms required by this part should select their biological sex," the rule specifically adds a clause requiring that forms—and the sex field—be "executed under penalties of perjury."
2. The ruling comes as part of a case that centers around Montana's policies banning gender marker changes, and it leaves in place an injunction blocking the policies. Writing for the majority, Justice Laurie McKinnon argues that Montana's bans are sex discrimination based on transgender status.
Apparently this pro-Russia, pro-Maduro Venezuelan website decided to just republish an article of mine under MY NAME without my permission. I should make it clear: I don’t associate with hypocrites. While this site hates Israel, it still supports Russia in its genocide. To me, that’s unacceptable.
2. Aside from explicitly excluding LGBTQ+ families, the resolution also attempts to claim that children raised in same-sex households are more likely to live in poverty, have addiction and mental health issues, be incarcerated, and have violent tendencies.
4. Finally, I've also tallied each state's total score and mapped the results. Honestly, I'm really surprised by Montana and Alaska!
