Transgender people are always painted as patients waiting for a doctor to give them autonomy over their own bodies. Where were the transgender healthcare workers fighting for gender-affirming care as anti-trans laws rise? I wrote about it in the Los Angeles Times. latimes.com/science/story/…

A new study on gender affirming surgeries for people under 18 in the US reveals that of the 150 (not a typo - it really is that small) 146 of them were for cisgender males getting gynecomastia surgery - breast reductions for excess tissue on otherwise male patients.

Trans youth nationwide are under attack: 25 states have passed gender-affirming care bans. These awful bans have expanded beyond the South, so we’re taking our support national 🏳️‍⚧️ Today, we’re launching the Trans Youth Emergency Project. Get support: transyouthemergencyproject.org

I'm a registered Democrat in Texas. After seeing several other posts, I checked my registration. I'm "suspended." It says I can still vote if I update my information (it's already correct) but this has never happened in my 20 years of voting in Texas. Check your registration.

The fact that there’s been MUCH more outrage about queer artists taking part in the opening ceremony than an actual child rapist competing in the Olympics really highlights how some folk are not actually concerned about what they purport to be concerned about. They just use that

1. Huge news out of the UK. The British Medical Association, which represents 190,000 doctors in the UK, has voted against implementation of the Cass Review, calling the review "unsubstantiated." This will have global impacts. Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in.

There is one trans boxer at the Olympics, but it's not a trans woman (there are none good enough to have qualified), it's a trans man called Hergie Bacyadan That doesn't fit the bigots narrative so they'll ignore it and lie instead

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the

Our beloved Refaat Alareer (Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸) wrote these words in October, but they had not been published until now. Electronic Intifada is grateful to have the honor to share them with the world. When I read them, I can hear his voice. electronicintifada.net/content/unpubl…

Did you know: If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive. You can
