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'm quoted today in the NYT as the counterpoint to a bunch of gay doofuses and shills. 🧵 Image

 This guy thinks wanting to do something is just like wanting to be something.

We're listening to his opinion because he got married🥰 Image

 Gender medicine damages the body 🤕
T is anabolic steroids💉

You realize this if you listen to the arguments against it.

These legendary married people have not listened. Image

On second read, the NYT story on the trans legal movement makes the moderates look worse than the radicals.

My notes on that and more...🧵
@nickconfessore
2.
 NYT implies trans advocates should have avoided debates over sex or made up a palatable theory.

But how can you argue trans people are not the sex they seem to be, without making up a novel theory of sex? And why should voters accept a made-up theory of sex? Image
3.
 Why is a sex discrimination law prof opining about medical ethics? To avoid talking about the repercussions of trans ideology for her field (it's dark).

She requested anonymity "for fear of blowback from students and colleagues."

Her job is to argue with them! Image

Trans activists are scapegoating Chase Strangio for their loss in Skrmetti, to convince Americans that their movement is fundamentally sound.

No. The perfidy predates Strangio and is intrinsic to the argument that we should pretend some people are the opposite sex.

2.
 Today, NYT eagerly transcribes the anti-Strangio argument of trans activists and anonymous ACLU attorneys while minimizing the bodily injury caused by gender med
nytimes.com/2025/06/19/mag…
3.
 I placed Strangio within the rich intellectual tradition of trans philosophers.

She's just another vain lesbian being used by fetishistic men.

THE PROTOCOL - Episode 4

NYT covers Jamie Reed's explosive affidavit, but only the driest parts. Not the desiccated vaginas ripping open, e.g.

NYT asks Jamie whiny questions. "There are so many people who are going to feel so hurt" by Jamie's testimony against gender med.
2.
 Jamie responds to NYT brilliantly. But because all the horrifying details of medical harm are stripped out, it sounds like she's engaging in a fuzzy abstract debate about how to evaluate a treatment's efficacy.
3.
 Jamie shares the trauma of working in a gender clinic where doctors ignored her safety concerns and she worried she was hurting kids.

NYT says her experience mirrors that of trans kids who can't be themselves.

THE PROTOCOL - Episode 3

NYT sets up Laura-Edwards Leeper as a hero of careful assessment, and Johanna-Olson Kennedy as the villain who opposes assessment.

JOK is a villain but not because of her stance on assessments. Those are, in fact, bogus. Here we go...
2.
 LEL spent a week in the Netherlands learning.

She was a young shrink hired by Norman Spack, who'd started transing "street kids" in the 70s and "salivated" at the thought of blocking puberty to help boys pass. (NYT doesn't report this.)
badfacts.substack.com/p/how-endocrin…
3.
 LEL felt nervous assessing kids on her own. She made them get therapists because it "felt good" to have a colleague involved. But these therapists were nervous and baffled themselves - she had to teach them about gender.

Luckily these early cases were "straightforward."

THE PROTOCOL - Episode 1

NYT introduces us to FG, whose puberty was blocked by Dutch doctors in the late 1980s. She's now in her 50s and spends her "whole life being covert."

Here are my notes on this haunting episode.
2.
 NYT tells us "trans" patients were often viewed as psychotic in the 1950s-60s, implying doctors were wrong.

In fact many were psychotic - this is evident when you read primary sources.

3.
 In painting the landscape of people wanting to transition mid-20th century, NYT does not mention the era's crushing homophobia, sexual fetishes, or the fact that many of the women said their goal was to marry their (female) friend.
