1/ 🚨ALERT: CA moves to change insurance language on double mastectomies for gender dysphoric females from "cosmetic" to "reconstructive" to ensure no age limit for the procedure. Normal breasts are reclassified as "abnormal structures of the body caused by congenital defects."
2/ "As such, in an individual diagnosed with gender dysphoria, who is born with female characteristics and identifies as male, the presence of a female chest is an abnormal body structure caused by gender dysphoria..."
3/ Source: insurance.ca.gov/0250-insurers/…
4/ Summary: insurance.ca.gov/0400-news/0100…
5/ Setting aside the absurd notion that we should classify normal female breasts as "abnormal body structures" if that person identifies as male, the additional claim that dysphoria CAUSES those structures defies basically everything we know about human development.

Biden wants to repeal the HIV Discrimination Act that requires people who know they have HIV to disclose it to sexual partners.

Meanwhile, in NY, Dems are trying to pass a bill that will allow the gov't remove & detain people who may be "potentially dangerous" to public health.
It's amazing how different viruses are treated differently based on politics.
CORRECTION: There is no "HIV Discrimination Act." Biden wants to sign a "REPEAL HIV Discrimination Act" that will attempt to revamp state laws requiring disclosure of HIV to sexual partners & those they may share needles with.

Sorry for the error, though substance is unchanged.

1/ I am not an expert on viruses or vaccines, but many people seem confused about what's being said here.

There's a difference between being "infected" (i.e. testing positive for the coronavirus) and having symptoms.
2/ The vaccines appear to prevent you from getting COVID-19 (the disease caused by the virus), but we don't know whether they prevent you from being infected and/or transmitting it to others. You can be "infected" with a virus without showing symptoms.
3/ For instance, you could test positive for human papillomavirus (HPV)—the virus that causes genital warts—and not have warts. Likewise, you may still spread HPV even if you don't have physical warts. And a person you transmit HPV to could develop warts when you never did.

1/ Many activists claim their view that sex is a spectrum helps prevent intersex surgeries from taking place since male and female aren't seen as fixed categories and thus in a sense we are all intersex to some degree.

It tries to solve a problem by queering everyone.
2/ Despite being a factually inaccurate way to view biological sex, I fail to see how portraying intersex as not being fully male or female, but rather somewhere in between because *we all are*, would actually prevent intersex surgeries on infants from taking place.
3/ Rather than telling parents that their intersex infants are not fully male or female, which seems to me would only *increase* the likelihood that parents would pursue "corrective" surgery, the truth seems far more likely to prevent unnecessary surgery on infants.

1/ 🚨ALERT: Lee Montessori public charter school in Washington DC is rolling out ABAR (Anti-Bias/Anti-Racist) Education to pre-schoolers, ages 3-5, to "support their life-long journey in becoming anti-bias, anti-racist social justice leaders" and "affirm children's identities."
2/ The ABAR Education will "permeate all subject areas and school practices" and wants 3-5-year-olds to "understand the implications of [their] own race... in the promotion of, or struggle against racism."
3/ The ABAR Education will give children (again 3-5-year-olds) a "shared language" to understand the new concepts, which consist of concepts from Intersectionality, gender ideology, and Critical Race Theory.

1/ If you are male or female and have gender dysphoria you are allowed to take hormones to make your body either more masculine or feminine to align with your "gender identity."

Question: Why is this only offered to people who want to appear as the *opposite* sex?

Continued ⬇️
2/ Suppose you are a skinny, very effeminate looking male. You identify as a man, but you aren't as masculine looking as you'd like to be. This is a source of much mental anguish for you. You feel as though you'd greatly benefit, psychologically, if you looked more "manly."
3/ Is this not also a form of gender dysphoria? On what basis do we not give this man prescription testosterone so that they can look even *more* masculine? Wouldn't denying this person testosterone to masculinize their body, while providing it to female patients to help...

1/ 🚨BREAKING: Lawsuit filed today against educational agencies, teachers, principal, & CEO responsible for hosting workshops requiring children to make public professions about their racial, sexual, gender & religious identities, some of which were singled out for interrogation. ImageImage
2/ Educators directed the plaintiff "to reveal his identities in a controlled, yet non-private setting, to scrutiny and official labeling," and are "coercing him to accept and affirm politicized and discriminatory principles and statements that he cannot in conscience affirm."
3/ The educators "repeatedly threatened William Clark with material harm including a failing grade and non-graduation if he failed to comply with their requirements." Image
