🧵Today a committee in the Texas Senate will take up bills to ban gender-affirming care for minors. This is the first time they'll debate this legislation this year.
I've been covering transgender youth in Texas for years. Here's some of what I've learned.

2/ In 2017, the focus in Texas was on the "bathroom bill." Parents of trans kids mobilized to fight it.
"You don’t know my kid. You don't know what he's gone through just to be himself," one Dallas mom told me at the time.

3/ The bathroom bill failed, and 2019 was a bit quieter on the legislative front when it came to transgender legislation.
In 2021, state legislators passed a law requiring high school athletes to play sports according to their sex at birth. dallasnews.com/news/politics/… #txlege

Texas just filed its appellate brief in the case it's fighting against parents of transgender kids.
Gov't reiterates argument there hasn't been "any particular harm suffered" by families investigated for child abuse bc kids haven't been removed.

The state of Texas' brief also argues two families with transgender kids no longer have standing to sue bc their investigations have been closed and with no finding of child abuse.

Also Texas AG @KenPaxtonTX cites recent @nytimes stories about transgender youth to argue that puberty blockers and hormone therapy may be harmful.

Thread for ‘but is this happening in schools’ #Edutwitter. Yes it is. Firstly personal testimony: “the school nurse had referred her to the school counsellor [who] informed [her] that a hatred of one’s breasts could be an indicator of a non-binary” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…
More testimony: “I am utterly horrified at what was taught at a PSHE lesson at my school recently. It was to a group of children, most are 11-12 years old. It is so, so much worse than I thought.” #Edutwitter #DiverseEd #LGBT

More personal testimony: “We did request to see their transgender policy and it was kafkaesque – it repeatedly conflated sex & gender… & downplayed the effects of binders, blockers and hormones” #Edutwitter #WomeEd #PSHEPeeps

#SB12 to ban children from being able to attend drag shows in Texas just referred to State Affairs.
This bill — plus legislation to ban gender affirming care for minors, restrict transgender college athletes and regulate library books — are all @DanPatrick priorities. #txlege

@DanPatrick Also: A bathroom bill of sorts (yes, it's back) was just referred to House Pub Ed.
It'd require schools to have a public policy about bathroom/locker facilities not separated by sex at birth that must specifically denote which facilities fall into this category.

@DanPatrick Also recently filed: #HB4378 by @Toth_4_Texas to allow lawsuits against ppl who bring a minor to drag show that "violates the prevailing standard in the adult community for content suitable for minors."
It has a 10 year statute of limitations.

" L'Occidente pensa: non abbiamo altro modo per creare un nazionalismo artificiale in Ucraina e incitare gli ucraini a combattere contro i russi perché non sarebbero disposti a farlo.
Non sarebbero disposti a combattere per i valori liberali perché significano

Per le società tradizionali, i valori liberali non sono qualcosa da difendere. Ecco perché i "liberali globalisti" hanno creato e utilizzato la forma più radicale di nazionalismo, il fascismo russofobo ucraino.

Ma non l’ideologia #gender, questa è una caricatura dei primi e dice: “Se sei femmina ti piace il rosa, se sei donna, sei destinata a diventare moglie”
Non è una legge di natura ma il risultato di un retaggio culturale.

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, via video call, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin held an operational meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council. The primary purpose of the gathering is to calm down the "cunts".

This way, #Putin calls a part of the Security Council that does not belong to the security forces and the military. The idea was to send a signal through them to the elites that, despite the strikes on military airfields in #Russia, everything is under control,...

and there is nothing to worry about. During the meeting, the President listened to the reports and gave instructions to strengthen security measures for strategic facilities and top officials of the state, including all participants in the meeting.

🛑 La #CoupeDuMonde au #Qatar suscite de nombreuses controverses (corruption, désastre écologique, ouvriers morts pour construire les stades…)

2/ De nombreux articles se sont faits l’écho de ces controverses (exemple ici avec Le Monde). Mais presque aucun média n’a évoqué un autre sujet problématique : l’adhésion du #Qatar à l’idéologie des Frères musulmans et sa promotion de l’#islamisme.

3/ L’une des rares à dénoncer cette situation a été @CarolineFourest. L’essayiste a ainsi revélé sur @LCI que des tentes sont installées aux abords des stades pour convertir les supporters à l’islam et que le #Qatar a formé 2000 personnes dans ce but.
This is important. Conversion therapy advocate, Stella O'Malley, offers "training" to psychotherapists, teachers & others. The professional organisations & unions need to get the hell off the fence & start protecting young LGBT people from these abhorrent practices! @IACP_ie
It is abhorrent for this event to go ahead in a week when 2 trans people & 3 others have been killed in an #LGBT bar, along with 3 others, & a trans woman was one of those who risked her own life to save others! Please let the organisers know how you feel!
We need to STOP THIS NOW! Stella O'Malley's allegedly "up-to-date thinking" has helped fuel a climate where trans rights are being rolled back in Florida, in Texas & in Britain. Her activities expose LGBT people, especially young LGBT people to grave danger. #EndConversionTherapy

2/ The #CatholicChurch spent 1900 years avoiding #democracy, quite comfortable with empire and monarchy. The closest the church ever got was the Council of Basel (1431-1449) that followed something like democratic procedure to challenge papal supremacy, suggested a conciliar...
3/ ...approach to the governance of the church. It did not succeed.
A century earlier Marsiglio of Padua had praised ideas very close to popular sovereignty & he remained "the accursed Marsiglio" into the 19th century.
Very little in Catholicism has pointed to #democracy.

“Queer Theory is an academic field of study that aims to dismantle accepted social norms. This may not seem immediately concerning. However in this field any idea can be – and is – challenged, including the idea that children should not be sexually active.” #CurriculumForWales
“Queer Theory challenges boundaries that are put in place to preserve ‘oppressive’ ideas such as the importance of child safeguarding. This academic discussion is not something that should be allowed to direct the way schools teach children.” #CurriculumForWales #RSE #edutwitter

While at Kansas State University I excelled socially and scholarly, joining many organizations related to my Political Science major, and working as a legislative administrative assistant for a Kansas State Senator and a consultant to the Riley County Police Department.
On February 22 while living with my parents in Manhattan, Kansas, they asked me to a private meeting. This was odd because just a week earlier my parents and I met, and it was uncommon for us to meet two weeks in a row, so I became nervous. #NationalComingOutDay
