Someone has gone through and run the numbers on molestation crimes against children.

67% of politicians accused or convicted of child abuse nationwide were Republicans.

QAnon needs to look in the mirror.

Out of nearly 11,000 USA cases examined, just 1 offender was a drag queen. Only 5 were trans. 846 were religious figures. 301 were police.

Privacy rights make it harder for fascists to achieve their end goals.

They want to create autism lists

They want lists of those “likely to seek abortion”

They want lists of trans people

Nazis also created lists. Of Jewish people, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and anyone who spoke out against the “regime”.

They will not use these lists for good. Patients deserve privacy.

The latest violation?

“A 2024 federal rule that shielded reproductive health information from disclosure to law enforcement when care was legally obtained, such as in another state with abortion access, was struck down by a federal judge in Texas on Wednesday evening”

Even if you legally obtain an abortion, they will be able to access that information.

They want to squash our reproductive freedoms.

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on L.W. vs Skrmetti, a case that will decide whether state bans on gender-affirming treatment for young people are constitutional. @TeenVogue spoke to trans youth and their supportive families about what this means for them, the difficulties they've had in accessing care, and why it's so important. One mom, Esther, spoke of what she witnessed right after her daughter Kai told her she was trans. “I opened the door, and she was just beaming. She had her headphones in and was just kind of be-bopping and, like, dancing,” Esther recalls. “I'd never seen her smile like that. She'd been suffering with depression, [harming] herself, anxiety for years, and just had this heaviness to her. And it was just gone. There was a lightness.”
