#SCOTUS upholds #trans #athlete bans
The ruling is another setback for #transgender people.
The court’s conservative majority, which has repeatedly ruled against transgender Americans in the past year, ruled that #state bans in #Idaho & #WestVirginia don’t violate the #Constitution or the federal #law known as #TitleIX, which prohibits #sex #discrimination in education.
>2 dozen other #Republican led states have adopted bans on female transgender athletes.

(NEW!) As America celebrates it's 250th birthday, I decided to take a closer look at the plight of #transgender veterans and their ability to access #healthcare through the VA. Spoiler: It wasn't good before, now they're under direct attack under Hegseth.

I know many of you depend on my boosting for a curated "best of the Fediverse" feed. And normally I enjoy providing that.
But recent events, especially politics, are taking a toll. It's very difficult to read not just the news itself but your reactions to it.
I'm dealing with a LOT of existential dread right now. As are many of my #trans siblings. And mental health comes first.
So, you may notice the firehose slow to a trickle. Or even stop for awhile.
Thank you for understanding. 💖🏳️⚧️
The "autogynephilia" theory aimed a giving transphobia a pseudo-scientific cover. But it turns out erotic crossdreaming is quite natural, even among cis people. (Humorous video made by cis people)

Whether you are cis or trans the same applies (unless you judge people by their genitals in which case, in the bin you go)

It's release day for Trans/Port, a gorgeous anthology of trans speculative fiction featuring "Conversion", my cyberpunk take on the old "what if you could take a pill to make you not queer" thought experiment (it's also got cyborg terrorists!) It's still on launch discount for $1.99 until the 8th, so get it while it's hot!
J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.
Let that sink in.
1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.
2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.
That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.
