Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire says at CPAC that “transgendersim” should be “eradicated,” to thunderous applause.
@michaeljknowles @dailywireplus #CPAC #trans #transgender
@MichaelJKnowles’ insistence that there is no such thing as being transgender and his insistence that any acknowledgment of transgender people’s humanity or existence should be “eradicated from public life” lays bare conservatives’ intentions to ban trans care for all ages.
Many say that if @michaeljknowles of @dailywireplus had demanded at CPAC that homosexuality or Judaism be “eradicated”, this would be akin to Hitler’s Final Solution for Jews and gay people in Nazi Germany. They hear in his call to eradicate transgenderism a call for mass murder.
Also in Tennesee, as I reported for @NBCNews: nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…
@RollingStone is not kidding around under editor in chief @NoahShachtman. Their account of @MichaelJKnowles’ call at CPAC for the “eradication” of “transgenderism” is under the heading “EVIL”. They ask how Knowles can credibly claim not to be calling for genocide. @ErinInTheMorn

A new proposed bill in Florida would not only grant the state the authority to seize trans-identifying children from parents if they receive treatment for gender dysphoria, but to seize kids if they are merely “at risk” of receiving such treatment. Image
The bill that would grant Florida the power to seize trans-identifying children receiving or likely to receive treatment for gender dysphoria is sponsored by Republican state senator Clay Yarborough, who is a follower of Christ. @Clay_Yarborough flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2… Image
This comes as Daily Wire columnist @michaeljknowles called at #CPAC for the “eradication” of “transgenderism” from American life—a call to action that Knowles has insisted was not a Hitlerian call to arms to enact a genocide against trans people.

When @JesseSingal, @WritingBlock and I or others report about the science of treating gender dysphoria in minors, we are constantly subjected to overtures of violence, commands that we should kill ourselves, or in my own case, expressions of regret that cancer didn’t kill me. 1/
Meanwhile, press freedoms are also being threatened from the right as Florida Republicans in particular seek to clamp down on reporters’ abilities to freely do their jobs and to seek the truth about contentious and important questions. 2/ nytimes.com/2023/03/04/opi…

A common reaction to gun-death statistics among pro-gun people is to downplay the stats by saying that these were deaths by suicides. But research suggests that had those who died this way not had access to a gun, they would've been much less likely to die by suicide.

In 2/22, I reported that in the trial comparing injectable Apretude to Truvada as PrEP, the HIV rate was ⬇️ in the Apretude group, but 7 people got HIV despite getting their injections on time. Now, @AnuHazraMD at @howardbrownhc reports the 1st real-world such breakthrough case:
@LizHighleyman reported in 2021 on the original findings of the Apretude v Truvada trial for @PozMagazine:

A bombshell article by @writingblock challenges claims by activists that the science supporting the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors is "settled" and that the use of puberty blockers and hormones in transgender kids is "evidence based." 🧵⬇️

Many argue that giving puberty blockers and hormones to trans minors is uncontroversial & backed by high-quality science. Block's reporting disputes this. Swedish health authorities, for example, say the risks "currently outweigh the possible benefits". 2/

@glaad, in its recent protest before the @nytimes building, echoed a common refrain: that "the science is settled" regarding giving puberty blockers and hormones to trans-identifying minors. @writingblock's peer-reviewed reporting challenges this claim. 3/ press.psprings.co.uk/bmj/february/t… Image
