This tweet posted on 3/23 was a screenshot of a trans activist account @OurRightsDC which had posted a graphic calling for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” post

It does not violate any rule, and yet @elizamondegreen has been locked out for it Image
This was the image that was posted by @OurRightsDC for “Trans Day of Vengeance” which Eliza reposted in the tweet that got her locked by Twitter admin.

@OurRightsDC locked their account yesterday Image
Twitter left blank the rule supposedly violated here in this notice of suspension: (“Specifically for:”….)

No rule was violated.

Time to restore this account that broke not rules

Remove staffers censoring tweets that break no rules in service of political agendas

Yeah it seems they are taking the "Trans Day of Vengeance" down for those boosting it as well as those calling attention to the fact that they are boosting it.

They only did so after a mass shooting.
I understand the conundrum. This post came a few days before a mass murder of children. It wasn't seen as incitement prior to that (though it was) and now it appears to be. So they can't allow incitement to flourish but they also are banning evidence of the incitement.

The first screenshot is Manhattan Institute federal budget expert "Jessica" Riedl, a middle-aged man who knew he was a girl on the inside at the age of four and went on to marry a woman and father two children, citing "brain studies" as evidence that he was actually "born trans."

The second screenshot is three researchers employed by the Manhattan Institute nothing that these studies are fatally flawed and do nothing to support the claim that anybody is "born trans."Image

Here is Riedl linking to his "coming out" blog post and triumphantly brandishing a series of links to the "dense scientific studies" on the "real biology of transgenderism."

Follow the links and find tweet threads, blog posts, one of the most laughable Scientific American posts ever published that was part of the general descent into inanity that led to the firing of its editor, and a handful of peer-reviewed articles that prove zilch, the most important of which was dismantled by his MI colleagues above.

Ten-year old fears he's going to be murdered on the street, is desperate for assurance that he will have access to "my medicine" (an off-label cancer drug used to chemically castrate adult sex offenders and never approved for keeping ten year old boys frozen in prepubescence to look more like a girl.)

If you watch this and aren't horrified on the boy's behalf because of what his parents have done to him but are instead horrified by efforts to protect him from maniacs drugging him at age of ten, you have lost your moorings.
People who've had their minds warped by delusion to this degree (and this is the default position of every Democratic official elected and unelected at every level of government) cannot be reasoned with -- they just have to be ousted from influence and kept from power for all time.

Corey Booker and Elizabeth Warren and Tim Walz and AOC all see things exactly as the delusional anon rando above does. All severed themselves from their humanity to inflict this mania on society.

It’s not filters fwiw. There are no filters that will do that. It’s four facial reconstruction surgeries.

It’s why Wu is so zealous in support of blocking the puberty of boys as young as 12.
Wu *does* say some reasonable and correct things that other trans activists would never say.

I list them here, alongside the unreasonable and incorrect things he also says in the second list.

The main takeaways of the NYT story on Skrmetti are:
— the claims of the transgender lobby are false
— the claims of the transgender lobby’s critics are true
— the behavior of the transgender lobby was profoundly unethical
— the dominant figures in the transgender lobby are insane
feelsdesperate.substack.com/p/we-won-so-mu…

I'm not as certain of victory as @feelsdesperate, but within one minor but important domain -- what we are allowed to say at dinner parties in New York and San Francisco -- the NYT piece is an unqualified victory.

Coddled begins with a vigorous short recap of what we've been saying every day for the past three years on Twitter, which is what any sane and well-informed person who has not joined a cult understood:Image

The NYT Magazine has written a thorough account of the fiasco of pediatric gender medicine. The author frames Skrmetti as having set back the cause of trans rights by a generation.

It frames Skrmetti as a strategic error by the ACLU driven by the impetuousness of its lead trans rights litigator, Chase Strangio, and its Executive Director, Anthony Romero, who backed him fully as the organization drifted toward the iceberg.

The criticism is well-deserved as far as it goes. The tactical and strategic errors the story documents are indeed enormous.

But the fiasco of the trans rights movement cannot be cured by better messaging, strategy, or tactics.

In fact, the trans rights movement in itself illustrates that we have reached the end of the age of emancipation.

The giant apparatus we constructed to launch new civil crusades had no one left to liberate and thus set about manufacturing a new subpopulation of the marginalized by chemically castrating children at the crucial stage of physical, emotional, and cognitive development.

This was an experiment in the overt, self-conscious, institutionally-directed reconstruction of social reality. And in the process, we reached the limit of how far-reaching such projects can go in a society that remains pluralistic, liberal, Democratic, and free.Image

Apologies for wrongly sexing Chase Strangio, who is a woman -- I just read a long article doing that.

Barrett has figured out that there is no coherent definition of a "trans person." Once you understand this, everything else unravels.
Her developing reputation as a brilliant outlier willing to upset rightists and leftists alike in order to say the truth will serve her in good stead here -- and be served by this determination
As a mother of seven enveloped in Christian piety and the kindness valorized by that piety , she had every reason to defect to a maudlin view of the marginalized trans person -- but she also has a lawyer's insistence on defining terms
