This is anti-trans trash, @KFILE, @ErinBurnett, and @CNN, and it’s beneath you. Yes, when the state takes custody of someone, they must provide necessary health care. If that necessary health care includes gender-affirming medical care, then it does. The end.

To understand how the anti-trans agenda is reshaping *all* of our lives, @19thnews set out to examine how the laws and rhetoric behind it are impacting Americans. Today we launch that critical series. https://t.co/8EyU7MZ1sw

Was curious about Rev. Sharpton's views on transgender people. I love it when older Dems have been trans allies for a long time. Loving his speech right now.

The idea that c!s men pretend to be women to abuse women is an obfuscation. C!s men abuse women every day without consequences. The idea that they need to do something to “get away with it” is harmful to abuse victims, and that is often the point

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

Why are we allowing public officials to be unnamed in stories such as this? What is journalistically useful about publishing an anonymously sourced, non-essential, gossipy story? How does this help our already strained credibility? The journalistic ethics I was taught said we

Got yelled at for saying this last night so here it is again: political violence is not a reason to stop criticizing divisive violent political rhetoric or aspiring authoritarianism. In fact, to push back against these things is to push back against political violence.

a new field study out today analyzing thousands of Washington Post and Upworthy articles finds that while readers prefer simple headlines, journalists do not. (and journalists are not great at predicting what headlines readers will prefer) https://t.co/b3kHVbpggG
