How is this acceptable?

The site is careful to use the word "individual" when referring to who they want to help (perhaps avoiding the obvious problem with openly encouraging minors to talk to these adults) but...

Some people talking about the ally moms effort on Twitter.
Maybe not careful enough.

These orgs have sprung up across the US. Always w/ glossy professional websites, most using Orwellian term "gender expansive" when referring to children. (If they expand gender why do they *restrict* by labeling them "trans" "nonbinary" or "gender queer"?)
standwithtrans.org/faq/
Stand with Trans says their primary focus is youth aged 12-22. They recommend the "In a Bind" program (TransActive Gender Center), which specializes in providing binders to minors--secretly, if necessary. List of SRS surgeons also provided.
standwithtrans.org/resources/
"In a Bind strives to create a feeling of 'taking care of our own' within the trans adult community."

Their "own."

transactivegendercenter.org/binding-faq
This is just one of several similar organizations focused on minors--Mermaids-like, well funded, all over the US. No MSM journalist has ever investigated any of them. It's all been left up to bloggers and Twitter denizens.

1/ In 2015, the mother of a young adult w/Down Syndrome fundraised for "top surgery," even when her daughter was in ICU w/serious health issues. Those of us who uncovered/revealed it in 2015 assumed it would peak-trans many people. No one, outside a few blogs, said a word.
(This is the archived GenderTrender post from 2015, which gives the whole story of the fundraising campaign for double mastectomy for a Down Syndrome patient in the ICU, and Olson-Kennedy's involvement in it).

Anyone who knows anything about Down Syndrome will be aware that people who have it often also have many serious comorbid health problems--problems severe enough to land someone in an intensive care unit.

Discuss.
Here's an idea: Trans activists could campaign to get TSA to hire more trans security officers to perform searches on trans passengers. Why is it that women (in this case, female TSA agents) are always the ones who have to just suck it up & bear the brunt of trans outrage?
A true trans rights movement would campaign for solutions w/out taking away other ppl's rights. Instead, it's always about centering trans ppl, usually at women's expense. And in the case of TSA, at the expense of public safety. Guess what: hijackers hide stuff in the groin area.

"It's MA'AM! It's MA'AM! You called me sir! Take it outside and I'll show you sir!"

Just watch this. It's no anomaly. Everyone needs to wake up. This crap is getting worse, and sane human beings need to work together to stop it.

Has there been any US coverage yet?
thesun.co.uk/news/8074185/t…
This is only an extreme example of something getting more common by the day. One news story in the US (if we even get one) isn't enough. A brave editor (in MSM not blogs or rightwing outlets) must stand behind their journos & take this on as a regular beat--like @thetimes

This tweet by @cathmckenna is really problematic. It ignores intersectionality & it is disingenuous. Let's break this down. Her post says it is not OK for female politicians and journalists to be attacked every 30 seconds on Twitter; that social media platforms need to step up
My initial reaction was from my perspective as an Indigenous man who has directly felt the oppressive consequences of her performance as a politician. I too ignored the intersectionality of the situation.
If she has used specificity, that in her case as a white woman, attacks by white men are not ok as in that power dynamic she is the oppressed oppressed demographic.

I met Shyla last year in a meeting. Her father had dreamt of making her a doctor. But his dreams drowned in the sewer he had died in. This is her story. (ruralindiaonline.org/articles/my-mo…)
Ten years later, Shyla is almost close to realising her father’s dream. She is doing her nursing course, and she needs help. As a society that sent her father down the sewers, I think it is our responsibility to see that she becomes a nurse.
When I met her again last month, Shyla was exuding confidence. “I will soon be a nurse and if you need anything, call me over” she told me and i cant wait.
Shyla’s course fee for third year comes close to Rs 1 lakh. I already have someone pledging Rs 10,000.

Uneducated, huh? At least I know how to properly use the word "YOUR" . . . And I'm from New York. Don't hate
Deleted tweet? No problem, I took a screenshot
I think I actually got him to delete his entire account. Not the first time, by the way

Manafort’s “Roadmap” lays out in stark terms their use of various marketing techniques for evil.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/a…
What I’ve been writing about isn’t theory. This ACTUALLY happened (see above, see Mueller indictments).

If you haven’t already read it, here’s an overview of how they did what they did.
twitter.com/i/moments/9853…
Let’s go through Manafort’s own Ukrainian digital roadmap and see how it lines up with the techniques I laid out in the moment above.

Before we get started, though, some key points of context:

Want to stop info of yours from going out over Facebook's API? Then you'll need disable "Platform". (Go to privacy settings, and press "edit" for "apps, websites and plugins"). Go ahead and do it. I mean, who uses FB apps anyway? This ain't 2009.
If for some reason you don't want to do that, at least edit "Apps Others Use" and uncheck all the categories of data there. (Note that data Facebook considers "public"--like name, gender, and friends list--will still be shared over API if you don't disable Platform.)
I will note with some pride that when Facebook tried in 2009 to take away the ability to opt out of Platform API sharing, we at @EFF called them out hard (along with the Europeans, natch), and FB ultimately restored it. So please: use it! eff.org/deeplinks/2009…
