if you are a journalist (or YouTuber) & you push the notion of "transgender social contagion" without addressing any of the counter-evidence that I've compiled here, that either means 1) you're shitty at doing research, or 2) you're an anti-trans activist:

...from what I gather, the YouTube video I'm subtweeting also spreads misinformation about puberty blockers (which have been used since mid-90s on trans youth). here's a good open access review that debunks claims that they're experimental:

...and while we're debunking shoddy/slanted "just asking questions about gender-affirming care" stories, here is an important thread regarding the recent Atlantic article: #trans #transgender #LGBTQ

I see lots of ppl on my TL asking for Bluesky invites. so I guess I will throw my hat into the ring to haha...
...I remember people were talking up Post when it first launched. I'm there now, but I find the platform to be rather boring, so not sure what to think of this latest Bluesky craze ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... post.news/@/juliaserano

FYI the word "transgenderism" began as an in-community term to refer to the phenomenon of transgender people (our existence & experiences). TERFs later twisted it to make it sound like an ideology (it's not). "eradicating transgenderism" = eradicating us.

...CPAC dude & others on the right may quibble over "what he actually meant was..." but their actions speak louder than words:
...it's so f-ing exhausting to end a week of pundits arguing "just b/c the rock & helicopter whistleblower lied doesn't mean her story is completely untrue" with "just b/c he said 'transgenderism' doesn't mean he was referring to transgender ppl" takes...

sharing this again given something that just happened...
...the "something" is this (TL;DR Jesse just shared 2016 private texts with an ex-colleague whose views on trans ppl/issues/healthcare have since changed). for me, this is a microcosm of the entire Jesse story arc...
...stage 1 (circa 2016-18), Jesse convinced many people who didn't know much about trans kids and gender-affirming care that "kids were being rushed into hormones & surgeries." while many trans ppl & advocates pointed out many flaws in his articles, others took him seriously...

of course on the day my essay finally comes out unpacking/critiquing this Jonathan Chait quote from 2 weeks ago, he's moved onto pundit-ing about the lab-leak theory haha...
...omg, Chait has somehow managed to link the lab-leak theory to "rushing kids into hormones & surgeries" – because of course he has! #GalaxyPunditBrain
...in thinking about it, I guess the two issues (origin of Covid19 & efficacy of gender-affirming care) have 3 things in common: 1) experts in the field largely in consensus, 2) the few who disagree are given disproportionate attention (either by ppl with racist or transphobic...

if you are so obsessed with a stranger's genitals that, when they say something rather mundane, you imagine that they have made a ridiculous statement about their genitals, then perhaps you're the one who's the sexual threat, not them?
...some confirmation regarding who is the real threat here:
