Our fearless leader @POTUS is certainly busy today with all these proclamations, statements, fact sheets, and round tables!

A short 🧵on the government efforts to make this the best #TransDayOfVisibility ever!

1/
“Today, to hear directly about the joys, hopes, and challenges that transgender children are experiencing, the White House will host a Roundtable on Affirming Transgender Kids”

No information so far on who will be sitting at the roundtable. Feel free to guess.

2/
A massive White House Fact Sheet, including fun new ways to obfuscate sex on government documents, courtesy of @DHSgov.

3/
A statement from Joe Biden on #TransDayOfVisibility emphasizing (once again) suicide rates unsupported by data while perpetuating the myth that criticizing gender theology means you are hateful MAGA-hat-wearer:

4/
A 5-page document from the Office of Personnel Management laying out “Guidance Regarding Gender Identity and Inclusion in the Federal Workplace”

5/
A handy graphic from the Department of State to help you request an X gender marker on your passport. No documentation required!

6/
If that isn’t enough, in addition to #TransDayOfVisibility, proclamations were signed for

Care Workers Month
National Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month
National Donate Life Month
National Cancer Control Month
National Public Health Week
Second Chance Month

7/
Proclamations, cont’d:

National Child Abuse Prevention Month
World Autism Awareness Day
Education and Sharing Day
Arab American Heritage Month

8/
Finally, here’s the short proclamation following the Nashville shooting.

Not that I’m hinting at any imbalance.

9/9 ENDS

Carilyn is right. Here’s a short list of so-called ‘women’s organizations’ that are incapable of understanding what ‘woman’ means.

It would be laughable if it weren’t so angering.

🧵1/
Canadian charity Up With Women:

“though we have "women" in our name, we recognize unique as well as shared barriers for anyone who isn't a cis man. Therefore, our program welcomes trans women, non binary, Two-Spirit, and any other gender diverse individuals.” 🙄

2/ Image
UK-based WomanKind Worldwide:

“Our feminism is inclusive and intersectional – and we are firm on this. Recognising that women have diverse experiences of oppression based on intersecting identities including class, sexuality, gender, race and ethnicity is essential to ending the different injustices they face.”

Von der Leyen is either naïve or lying.

Freedom of speech is, in fact, heavily restricted in the European Union.

I let Google’s AI thingie do the work for me by summarizing examples of ‘illegal hate speech’ in a handful of European countries…and in the USA.

Enjoy.

🧵 1/
🇩🇪 Germany 🇩🇪

Desires to ‘balance free expression with protecting human dignity’

Hey, Ursula: Such ‘balance’ is impossible. The MINUTE you restrict speech to protect someone from an ‘attack on their human dignity,’ free expression ceases to exist.

2/ Image
🇫🇷 France 🇫🇷

“I love Hitler” (funnily enough, a phrase I heard often from my university students in the UAE) is prosecutable.

As are “statements targeting sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Hey, Ursula: Criminalizing “transwomen are men” is NOT supporting free speech.

A few people actually believe that Graham Linehan’s post is an incitement to violence.

In response, I offer 2 questions. As a result of Graham’s words,

1) Is it LIKELY a man will be punched in the balls?
2) Is any man in IMMINENT danger of being punched in the balls?

🧵 1/ Image
The answer to both is—of course—no. There are solid legal tests regarding speech restrictions.

(UK laws, heavily resting on “I might feel threatened,” are different to those in the States, but the tests remain valid and worthy of thought)

Let’s talk about Brandenburg v Ohio

2/
Brandenburg v State of Ohio (1969) in a nutshell:

KKK dude mouths off and talks about ‘revengeance’ against blacks, jews, etc.

Ohio says “No, son. That violates the Criminal Syndicalism Statute.”

The Supremes say, “Wait a sec. Where’s the clear and present danger?”

That’s it. That does it.

Men are NOT women and I’m sick to the gills of your whining about ‘cruelty’ because someone misgendered you while “a thin layer of perspiration glues loose flyaways of your long, dark hair to your forehead.”

Read my lips: I. DON’T. CARE. ANYMORE.

🧵 1/ Image
“Her heart palpitated, beating against the rough cotton of a man’s prison uniform…”

Really? Oh, so sorry. I shudder to think of how awful this must feel. Maybe 1/10 as awful as girls having to undress in front of Lia-freaking-Thomas in a locker room.

2/
“Instead, she said, she was humiliated and dehumanized…”

Dehumanized like being called a ‘person who bleeds’? Or ‘a person with a uterus’? A ‘pregnant person’? An ‘egg carrier’?

Cry me a river.

And…boom…the Washington Post has spoken out on HHS’ Pediatric Gender Medicine report with one of the most scathing articles thus far.

Let’s look at the claims, the rhetoric, the bias, and…the reader comments. 👇

🧵 1/ Image
WaPo doesn’t waste a moment getting right to the ‘conversion therapy’ lie.

No questioning, no discussion, simply scarequoting ‘noninvasive’ and citing “pushback from LGBTQ+ advocates who said the proposal amounted to ‘conversion therapy’”

It must be true then. {sarcasm}

2/Image
Following in the footsteps of other media reports today, WaPo avoids naming the Cass Report — calling it ‘a similar, highly disputed, evidence review to enact a ban on puberty blockers’

Is “sex assigned at birth” REALLY a term “common in medicine”?

The Department of Health and Human Services report on Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria is a beautiful sight to see.

And a long time coming.

Let’s hope changes in the way we handle confused children aren’t far off.

A Quick Look at the Executive Summary 👇

🧵 1/ Image
This is damning:

“Clinician-researchers developed the pediatric medical transition model in response to disappointing psychosocial outcomes in adults who underwent medical transition.”

2/Image
“Evidence for harms association with pediatric medical transition may reflect the relatively short period of time since the widespread adoption of the medical/surgical treatment model, failure of studies to track & report harms, and publication bias”

Really? 🙄
