solarbirdA couple of related articles came out recently; a recent history of anti-trans and anti-LGBT politics, and another article on why anti-trans hatred isn’t just inseparable from white supremacy movements, but core to them. I’ve only had time to skim both, to be honest, but they seemed okay.
Good to have on hand, so keep it around – something I’ve done a lot of over time – is a debunking of the “80% of trans youth detransition” lie. The far right have been making fake science for my entire life – bad-faith fraud dressed up to look like “real science” so they can pass it off as data when it’s just their bullshit in another repackaged form. Here’s one of the history articles where I talk about the methods.
It’s 100% bad faith, 100% of the time.
American Fundamentalism takes people, uses them to do as much harm as they can, and then spits them back out. That doesn’t excuse the things their tools do, mind you. But it does very much show how they work and who they are. Meet Elisa Rae Shupe – their favourite “detransitioner” who never actually de-transitioned – as seen away from her handlers.
They’ve moved on, you see. They have a newer, fresher tool to use up.
Mainstream journalists have finally kinda started seeing the Red-Brown Pipeline. About goddamn time.
A county in Georgia has spent US$1 million (so far) to avoid paying for a trans deputy’s heath care as part of her employment health care.
Over in Fascism Watch, I wrote about doctors and other medical professionals overwhelmingly saying they won’t even apply to work in red-states that have revoked abortion rights; this report says doctors already there are leaving, retiring, quitting, or otherwise getting the hell out of dodge.
Case in point: this Idaho hospital will no longer deliver babies for exactly these reasons.
Make stupid bets; win stupid payouts. Good.
