"Utah fields nearly 4,000 'bogus' reports in first week of trans bathroom ban"
"A form for violations of a trans bathroom ban in state-owned buildings got nearly 4,000 fake reports in three days."
“I would assume the Legislature probably didn’t think through what kind of public backlash might happen,” Dougall told the Tribune.

I’ve been friends with this gay couple for a couple of years. We have each other over for dinner pretty regularly. A while back, they gave me the exciting news that they’re having a baby and I asked about the surrogate.
Friends, there is no surrogate. So yes, men can get pregnant. Dudes you know.
I have no idea how to react to stuff like this. I personally had an expirience when it was proved that Mastodon is trans-friendly, isn't it?
Well, no matter how much will it make you mad (it will make you mad), looks like according to this Bluesky post below, Mastodon isn't trans-friendly.
(While the author doesn't says it directly, they are saying that Mastodon's community is racist to black transgender people.....have no words how double-stupid that is)

Following the NYT closely for over a year now, a picture is emerging:
Biased coverage leads back to the biases of one man, publisher A. G. Sulzberger.
The NYT is resistant to correcting errors.
The NYT relies on its reputation as the paper of record to avoid accountability.
Today on Assigned, a story in Politico, and a peek behind the curtain:

I am not fond of David Brooks, but I certainly understand why he finds the Cass Report so compelling.
For cisgender people who have no pre-existing knowledge, it's really a perfect document. It is completely decorous while implying that there are too many trans people and efforts should be made to limit their numbers.#trans #transgender #news #journalism #newyorktimes

If this is true, do not under any circumstances talk to them or engage.
To be clear, these are only rumors; but The Guardian in the UK is horribly transphobic and it is completely within their character to attack DIY HRT options to further their anti-trans agenda.
Today I've done something I've never done before and written in direct criticism of another trans writer.
Andrea Long Chu, in my opinion, is dangerously undermining the fight for access to transition in the guise of defending trans people's right to do it.

A little known fact about trans people is that transgender Americans are twice as likely to serve in the military.
This means many rely on VA healthcare for their medical needs. But politicization of trans healthcare has resulted in a lack of access to trans surgeries for vets.
The Transgender Americans Veterans Association is fighting to change that. Alyssa Steinsiek has more, for Assigned.

One of the scariest parts of coming out is coming out at work. Unlike your family--blood or chosen--work is just a bunch of people who get thrown together, mishmash, and have to make things work out.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, it's a guide to give to your coworkers when they get that wide-eyed look and think "Oh, s#!t, my coworker just told me they're trans." At least, it should keep people from asking what's in your goddamned pants.

I've held off publishing anything on the Cass Report until today because I didn't want any of the coverage on Assigned to be based on partial or second-hand knowledge.
There will be more to come, but my first entry into reporting on this divisive, emotional, and politically charged Report just seeks to give people a basic understanding of what the heck is in the thing. #trans #transgender #news #science #journalism

GERMANY HAS PASSED SELF-ID LAWS!
The Federal Republic joins 20 countries which have passed laws allowing people to declare their own legal gender. I hope someday this will apply across the whole EU.
On a more personal level, this means I can finally change my own legal gender to #nonbinary 🎉🏳️⚧️
You might find it amazing that a supposed medical report into the treatment of trans people didn't interact with ACTUAL TRANS PEOPLE. (It did interact with plenty of antis and treated them as neutral and reasonable.) But so much did NHS England's Cass Report not interact with actual, real trans people that it resorted to generating AI pics of them.
These bigots are literally making up people to get mad at.

As a reporter, I've followed the science of gender-affirming care from before the current political moment. I have always committed to following the evidence, whether I like it or don't like it.
Today on Assigned, I've published a piece by a freelancer who did her master's on the informed consent model of gender affirming treatment. She wrote us a digest version.

Fuck you Freedom Caucus. You wouldn't know freedom if it bit you in the ass. She was asked the question at a presser and she answered. Sorry her answer wasn't to your liking. Not sorry!

In the New York Times last week a pair of reactionaries argued against the term "assigned sex at birth" in an impossibly dumbed-down discussion that ignored the existence of intersex people, the reason the term exists in the first place.
