Boy wore a shirt to school that said "there are only two genders." School censored him. He sued (free speech). Ended up at federal 1st Circuit.

Lawyer for school: This message that there is just two genders is vile, and it says to someone who is nonbinary, You do not exist.
/1
/2
Judge David Barron asked the school's lawyer, What if the shirt said "male is not a gender"?

School lawyer: The administrators would have to think, well, is that attacking a core identity? Probably not. Male is not a gender.
/3
Boy's lawyer argued the school was not inclusive to him when it called his views hateful. Judge Barron again:

"No one was saying HIS gender didn't exist!"

 The First Circuit ruled for the censorious school. The boy is seeking Supreme Court review.

The case is LM v. Town of Middleborough.

"Male is not a gender" comes up around 35:00-:10, yes I replayed the tape on that one.

 I'm working on a post about LM and other 1st Circuit trans decisions. These New England judges are blazing a trail of inclusivity through the 1st amendment.

"I was a dope, OK ... Focus on the overall message I'm giving."

Stella and Mia's interview of Gordon Guyatt is incredible. My notes 🧵

@stellaomalley3 @_CryMiaRiver
(BTW these 2 have very different reactions to Guyatt's epic admission.)Image
2.
 Guyatt is trite about pediatric gender med (PGM). Nothing new here if you've met a buffoon before.

✅ "Multidisciplinary assessments" are key
✅ "My knowledge is superficial"
✅ Cuts off knowledgeable interlocutor
✅ Certain that PGM should be allowed

3.
 Guyatt analogizes gender med to "early HIV care."

But doctors have been treating "gender" for 60+ years.

HIV researchers have figured out prevention, detection, and treatments proven to save lives.

"Gender" researchers have not 🤨

🚨 Seattle Public Schools defies US Supreme Court

Parents have a constitutional right to opt their young children out of "LGBTQ" lessons for religious reasons. SCOTUS declared this in June in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

SPS has not updated its policy 🧵 Image
2.
 SPS mandates LGBTQ lessons "for the purpose of increasing kindness."

Mahmoud rejects this idea. The lessons inevitably teach kids what to think about sex and "gender identity."

The dissent screamed "kindness," the majority smacked it down.

3.
 Seattle Public Schools cites many authorities for its position.

They're all subordinate to the US Supreme Court, which holds the opposite. Image

🚨ACLU shenanigans

SCOTUS is set to hear 2 girls' sports cases this term: Hecox (Idaho) and BPJ (WV).

BPJ is a boy on blockers. Hecox is a college man who went through puberty. ACLU reps both.

ACLU wants SCOTUS only thinking about puberty-blocked boys. So... 🧵
2.
 ACLU got Hecox to drop his lawsuit. Now it's arguing his case is moot so SCOTUS shouldn't hear it.

Details from Idaho's counsel:
3.
 ACLU lawyers don't want trans rights to be based on whether someone has had medical interventions. Just "identity."

But in sports cases like BPJ they argue it matters when boys are puberty-blocked. It's just easier to win that way. They can build on the precedent later.

🧙‍♂️ Gender ideology is made of certainties + mystique. "I'm nonbinary. You can't understand because you're cis."

It's hard to escape that combo 👻

Studying history freed me because I saw the wizards drafting spells in their underwear. The stories behind their incantations ⏬
2.
 "Trans women will be raped in men's prison."

In the 90s, NGOs argued small men were raped in prison and the assaults were making all of America less safe. Trans activists hijacked that campaign.

Small white men. Trans activists dropped that bit.

 "Trans people are more vulnerable than gays."

Fetishists and certain butch lesbians in the 90s used the vogue for privilege hierarchies to argue they were more oppressed than gays who passed. A weird & narcissistic project.

NYT just published an article about Penn's Title 9 settlement without mentioning...

Title 9.
@nytimes Image
2.
 The Education Department did not vaguely accuse Penn of supporting transgender rights.

It specifically accused Penn of violating women's Title 9 rights by forcing them to compete against Will Thomas. Image
3.
 NYT paints the Education Dept as a lawless bully.

It does this by failing to mention the law ED is enforcing.

Creative 🎨

When you're caught breaking the law, yes, your only way forward is to make concessions. Image

Because I'll do anything to procrastinate cooking dinner, let's mock the latest NYT gender lament. Image
2.
 In a story that gets almost everything wrong, NYT correctly notes the opposition to transing kids is bipartisan.

They've been mentioning this consistently. A memo went out. 🎉 Image
3.
 ... But NYT still won't report the reason we oppose transing kids (medical harm such as incontinence and genital pain).

I wonder if editors negotiated this compromise with the NYT DEI director. Tell the truth about "who" but hold off on "why" until 2026. Image
