Some Sam Seder clips

This one address the mistaken idea that anti-trans stuff worked to win the presidency for tRump.  In fact it was not a factor according to surveys however the only ones talking about it were the tRump people.  Harris never mentioned trans except for one time saying that they followed the law on treating trans prisoners with the hormone care they were prescribed or needed before incarceration.  Again it is the law and tRump also did it in his first term.  Hugs

More on the trans issues and the bathroom ban for trans people in the capital. Trans issues in the 2022 midterms showed that trans issues was a losing issue for them.  It was the same this election.  The larger problem is the democrats being too cowardly to stand up for the abused minority.   Hugs  

We hear about the genocide by Israel of the Palestinians.  He talks about hate on the internet by right wing forced paid for and encouraged by people who want to normalize this level of violence and convince people it is good to be this bloodthirsty.   Hugs

Some good mentions on Bluesky. I recommend leaving The hate zone X and going to BlueSky

I have so much to say about today’s case, legal analysis, and more.But the most powerful thing today was watching Chase Strangio argue in front of the court as the first trans attorney to do so.You could feel history, and nobody will ever take that away.

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room.I thanked them profusely.Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

I also can't get over the conservative justices favorably citing European laws about transgender health care when they vociferously refuse to consider other nation's laws and traditions when dealing with issues on which the U.S. is an outlier, like gun violence and the death penalty.

Outside of the court right now.

Ran into what I assume was one of the far right people in the bathroom line who said “I thought the men’s bathroom was on the other side” at SCOTUS.Thankfully the rest of the line were people who knew me and my reporting and I didn’t even dignify it with a response.

This should be said everywhere. Allowing discrimination like this against trans people undermines bedrock principles of constitutional rights across the board.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie – and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states… by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" – me for the Guardian:

“Both Tesla and SpaceX quite likely would not exist as successful businesses if it were not for the use of public funding, either through subsidies, through the electric car industry, or through actual government contracting in the case of SpaceX,” Ramaswamy said in 2022 on a Fox News podcast.

The Dumbest Person You Know Thinks Trump Won Because Of Trans People

Vaush shows how trans people are a manufactured issue that really had no  effect on the elections.  He shows how the republicans talked about trans people non-stop while Harris never mentioned it once.   The law says that trans prisoners get trans treatment because once a person is incarcerated their healthcare is the responsibility of the state.  Trump followed the law also doesn’t matter to the host in his attempt to bash the left.  Great way to showcase the five or so trans athletes did not affect the average person’s life but costs of living did.   Hugs

Bathroom problems for a man who looks like a woman. Plus some memes supporting trans people.

As I keep saying all these bathroom bills and trans people in the bathroom trash talk is the cis people who don’t look feminine or masculine enough for other people.   I have read and watched videos of women who look mannish who get assaulted or harassed for going into the woman’s bathroom.   One woman was a cancer survivor who lost all her hair due to treatment and two men were calling her horrific names and threatening to beat her up on video because they were sure she was a man.  It all goes on looks for these people.  Unless people are going to line up for a genital inspection by these gang thugs before entering the bathroom, how else do these maga think they are going to be able to tell?  Oh and this post took me two days to put together.  Hugs.

It is not trans people assaulting cis people in restrooms.  It is cis people assaulting trans people is what is really happening.  Hugs.

Anti-Trans Campaigner Outed As Having Forged Evidence – WPATH Files

I love Ethel’s videos and I have learned a lot about trans people from her.  She often does videos with herself in them but also sometimes does them with the drawn figures.   She has been very open with her transitioning journey, and I have followed her since she was a teen before she transitioned.   Her videos are remarkable for the detail and receipts she brings to them.   She does a lot of research, especially on trans women in sports issues.  She documents everything for the viewers to check in the about section and encourages fact checking her. 

In this video she sets up the fact that the anti-trans activist that falsely made claims about the WPATH files has a history of lying to try to push their issues.  I love watching her videos and if you are interested in trans issues and ways to debunk what the trans haters say, she is worth looking at her back work.   Her take down of the entire WPATH Cass report was wonderful and showed how totally false and misleading the report was.  The Cass report has now been totally debunked now in part to Ethel’s work.  Hugs.  Scottie

Today’s video returns to the #WPATHFiles which alleged malpractice by medical institutions who support the scientific legitimacy of gender affirming care, exposing the Files’ fatal flaws and its publisher’s sordid history of forging evidence. Hi, welcome to Essence of Thought with me, Ethel Thurston, as your host.

I hate the sound but know of no way to improve it with this mic.  If anyone knows a way let me know.  Ron and I have been talking to getting a Yeti Blue mic or a label mic.  The lighting was off again.  I can not seem to get it right like I used to do when I was in my other office.   Hugs.  Scottie
