Dr. Ruuttajerttu Kaltiala, a Finnish doctor and paid member of SEGM has been able to completely colonize trans healthcare and push restrictions on care. She was involved in Cass Review, p-hacked research on suicidality in trans youth, and DeSantis' ban on care in Florida.

The latest is a statement from the The European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry that endorsed the Cass review and pushes for more restrictions on gender affirming care. Kaltiala has had her fingers in nearly every major rollback of trans healthcare in Europe.

This is the most gaslighting bullshit I've ever seen. The NHS has a 10+ year waiting list to access adult transition services. Who the hell is being rushed after waiting a decade to access care?

They don't want trans people to exist. Image If you signed up for the adult service at 18, you would likely be 30 before you get an initial appointment under the NHS. Add to that a heavily gatekept process that could take years to access hormones and you would be approaching 35 before you even started HRT.

How to foment racial hatred:

Step 1: Post about a crime by a Black person against a white person.

Step 2: say you didn't hear about it because it "doesn't fit the narrative."

Step 3: repeat endlessly to reify your own racist narrative.

The conspiratorial insinuation that media doesn't report it because it "doesn't fit the narrative" is how they both undermine and discredit mainstream sources while building up their own racist narrative as being the "truth." It's a classic white supremacist tactic.

Pretty sure the end wokeness twitter account is run by Jack Posobiec if any reporters want to dig into it. Here's a full archive of their tweets. Their early tweets were deleted but the archive shows an immediate large reach for a brand new account meaning larger accounts were boosting it. Primarily AF accounts such as Stacy Rae.

The New York Times is deleting internal employee Slack messages critical of Pamela Paul's article.

It turns out that freedom of speech only applies to those with platforms and access to power. Image The New York Times is insisting that employee criticisms of articles should only be done through "proper channels."

Last year, they investigated employees who made their disagreement known through a public letter of Times writers.

BREAKING: Florida has taken unilateral administrative action and banned gender marker changes on drivers licenses. Any trans person who has had theirs changed is potentially subject to suspension. Anyone attempting to change it after could be criminally prosecuted for "fraud." Image If the language used in this directive is taken at face value, any trans person driving with a changed gender marker on their drivers license could be criminally charged with fraud.

This interpretation could potentially apply to anyone driving in the state, including tourists.

This is the most Orwellian thing I've ever seen. A state AG investigating a journalist org for criticizing a billionaire's company's practices to attack their free speech while simultaneously accusing them of being anti-free speech. We're truly down the road of fascism. As much as AG Ken Paxton loves to bloviate about this stuff, his state has no basis. Media Matters is incorporated in DC and operates in DC. He has no jurisdiction. This is purely a show of force to intimidate people from speaking up about Elon Musk.

Let's see another angle. The counterprotestor was purposefully stepping over protesters attempting to get them on video to dox them. Protest marshalls used nonviolent tactics to get them to leave. Now, selectively edited video is released 2 weeks later to go after students.
It's ridiculous that this has been distorted to make it seem like Harvard students were purposefully targeting a Jewish student. They were attempting to deescalate a situation where a student was stepping over others and holding a camera in their faces.

I've spent the last day helping terrified students who have been doxed, threatened, and harassed. Many in the Harvard community that led this digital mob against students are now suddenly shocked and walking it back only when they see how bad it's gotten. I've seen these kinds of morally motivated networked harassment campaigns destroy people's lives again and again. In their zeal to condemn students, they contributed to an atmosphere of fear and the incredible chilling of student speech.

Yesterday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation came out in support of replatforming Kiwi Farms with a blog that is not only morally repugnant and bankrupt but also completely wrong on the facts. @eff is directly supporting the stalking of trans people.

eff.org/deeplinks/2023…
Image First, they frame it as "censorship" by an ISP. That's not what is happening. Kiwi farms is unique in that the owner, Joshua Moon, runs his own ISP called 1776 Solutions (formerly "Final Solutions, LLC) that hosts Kiwi Farms. That means he needs to peer his ISP to other ISPs. Image

"Sure the subject of our story committed perjury, lied on her affidavit, violates HIPAA laws in her attempt to smear trans healthcare and we can't verify most of it, but when has the New York Times ever let pesky facts get in the way of a good moral panic."

I don't even know how something like this passes basic editorial standards. They literally state how she lied on her affidavit. They then let her continue violating HIPAA and the privacy of patients by letting them hand the Times private medical records without consent. Image

I've personally received actionable death threats that stated they were going to murder Dylan Mulvaney in her home and listed her home address. While I may not personally enjoy her content, no one should ever be subjected to this kind of cruelty solely because of who she is. It's even worse that the sadistic fucks who incited this are now celebrating the results of their efforts and gaslighting everyone that it was her fault for daring to be trans in public. The media is complicit in this by both sidesing this targeted violence as a culture war.

The Florida Medical Board is mandating that all trans people submit to mandatory and medically unnecessary psychiatric evaluations every 3 months as a condition of accessing care they've received with no issue for years. Insurance is unlikely to cover most of these evaluations as they are medically unnecessary. Annual bone density scans are unnecessary for trans adults. They are expensive and insurance won't cover it. This is effectively a ban.

BREAKING: Florida has lost their case denying trans people medicaid coverage for gender affirming care. This is another final judgment. The precedent could be used to challenge restrictions on adult care in Florida. The wins keep coming! Full decision here. Working on getting a courtlistener link.

What a cissy. I love how large accounts can just use the word tranny without repercussion but if we use a medical and scientific term to refer to gender identity, it's now a slur. What a whiny little bitch.

While the decision today in Arkansas was undoubtedly a good one, a newer law passed this year is designed to bypass judicial review to eliminate access to care via imposed legal malpractice liability that acts like a regulation of care. Because

https://t.co/Po2A2Yxzw4pbs.org/newshour/polit…
Because this bill only adds civil legal liability and does not have a state official enforcing it, it would be nearly impossible to challenge in court. Think the Texas abortion bounty bill. It's unlikely any provider would risk the legal liability and care will still be limited.

It's so blatantly obvious that tech billionaires are pushing RFK Jr. to weaken Joe Biden and try to usher in fascism with DeSantis. His biggest fans are all right wingers, which should be an immediate tell.

They're trying to replicate Russia's oligarchy. And the worst grifters who claim to be on the left are trying to replicate 2016 and do this all again with RFK Jr. and Cornell West. They don't want leftist policies. They are nihilists who just want to tear it all down without any vision for a better society.

They are just saying it with their whole chest now. Fox News is straight up saying the pride flag promotes "grooming and pedophilia." The "say critics" part is bullshit and they know it. Image They just blanketly state that the pride flag is "an homage to the cult of pedophilia" without attributing it to critics or a quote. This is just bigoted propaganda. Image
