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)

Discrimination against nonbinary people is real, and a new study from a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto is shining a light on one way it can happen.
Using a well-regarded method, researchers sent out job applications with she/her, they/them, or no pronoun attached. #news #trans #nonbinary #transgender #science

There's been a big development in detransitioner Chloe Cole's lawsuit against her former gender-affirming providers. #trans #transgender #news #law #detransition
We tapped a trans subject matter expert who's been following all the ins and outs for months to write about it, complete with a bunch of juicy screenshots of court documents, here:

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

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.

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

Is it possible to have dignity when your existence viewed as inherently ridiculous and undignified? If so, how do we resolve the tension between a mainstream that defines us as a punchline and the striving of every human for respect and dignity?

I have to admit, I did not expect the nonstory that #TDOV happened to fall on Easter this year to become an all-consuming conservative obsession approaching the level of last year's nonstory that Dylan Mulvaney did an Instagram spot with Budweiser.
What this is about - what all of these stories are ultimately about - is an attempt to terrorize the #transgender community out of public life. #news #journalism
