Sending up the Bat Signal for @RottenInDenmark for help on this one. So tired of the NYT's sly contributions to the moral panic against gender-affirming care for trans kids. nytimes.com/2024/04/18/opi…

Whether you need a little boost debunking the Cass Report or just are feeling confused by the onslaught of pseudoscience and trans issues — the latest episode or Maintenance Phase will fill your cup. Thank you, @RottenInDenmark and Aubrey Gordon!

Sure, it would be awkward to convention Biden. But you know what else is awkward? Living under a fascist narcissist who guts trans, reproductive and civil rights.

Hey, Democratic Party- I know it sucks to have that talk where you take away Dad’s car keys. But at some point we all gotta have it.

New episode! We went a little easy on the Cass Report in our last episode, so we're back to [Mortal Kombat voice] FINISH HIM!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bon…

So grateful to @RottenInDenmark and Aubrey Gordon of Maintenance Phase for circling back to give the Cass Report the full first-class debunking it deserves: "A moral panic document from a country having its own moral panic" on trans issues. Hm, sound like any other country we know?

This email from the Biden campaign depressed the heck out of me. I'm glad you're a fighter, Joe. I admire you for it. But this is bigger you. Sometimes the best thing to do is to step back and let someone else lead.

Pamela Paul is an ideologue who supports conversion therapy for trans kids. Because the The New York Times gives her a platform & virtually no airspace to facts (barriers to trans care, low regret rates, etc), I have to waste my time debunking her BS to friends and family.

It's important to remember that nearly all gender-affirming care has applications in the cis-medical world. The anti-trans right isn't challenging those treatments. Because at bottom, all they really want is to make it has hard as possible for trans people to exist.

It's been a few days since I posted about the NYT's anti-trans bias. Here they casually advocate that Kamala cut off gender-affirming care to trans kids to appeal to moderate voters. What they call "out of the mainstream" is actually supported by decades of medical best practice.

The Economist taking on the Cass Report? No, they're trying to make hay out of WPATH's understandable attempts to keep antitrans reactionaries from distorting their data. Sending up the bat signal to @RottenInDenmark and Maintenance Phase-help! economist.com/united-states/…
