A little while ago, interviewed by Chris Hayes, Kentucky Gov. #AndyBeshear gave a much better answer on #trans student athletes than a number of fellow Democrats have recently managed. Dems, be more like that.

Every #PrideMarch is important. A celebration of #community
True all by itself, but especially true when we see a regression of #HumanRights for #LGBTQIA people around the world
And when a city on the frontlines of a genocidal imperialist war by a country maliciously hostile to #trans and #gay rights holds a #Pride #March, it is yet even more poignant

“ #Trump is trying to Link #Trans People and Political Violence
A bogus new HHS report argues that support for transgender rights pushes people toward political violence.

Trump’s Vile Campaign to Link Trans People and Political Violence
A bogus new HHS report argues that support for transgender rights pushes people toward political violence. It’s just the latest chilling installment in a larger project of bigoted propaganda.The New Republic
In the last week I found around 4 articles in Irish media with non-trivial mentions of #trans topics.
- 1 on books for teenagers
- 3 general cultural articles
Feeling outside of the narratives of "suffering" and "joy". Being #trans is solving problems day and night (yes, even in your sleep). Problems other people don't have or don't experiment in the same way. If we can do it together it may even become enjoyable at times. But there's nothing to it, just caring for each other. That's life.
don't step into the frame they created. It's not about #trans and it never was.
So questioning it, only suits their objective.

In the state of Washington, Republicans are placing child gender screening on the ballot.
Bluntly, they want 200,000 children to strip naked for a genital examination, to prevent 10 #trans child athletes from joining whatever team they want.
I respect that there is a discussion about gender advantages in professional adult sports like weight lifting, but why would it matter that in very rare cases there is 1 transgender child on a beginner's league basketball team?

Never forget #PrideMonth comes from what happened on #ThisDayInHistory in 1969. The #StonewallUprising, where #queer & #trans people threw bricks at cops, gave birth to the #GayLiberationFront and a #CivilRight struggle #fascists still oppose. Legality is not morality. #FightBack

🌈 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🚨
If you’re part of the Australian LGBTIQA+ community, or a friend or ally, PLEASE sign & share this petition URGENTLY!
Hands Off Our Protections
Equality Australia #petition to MPs
✍️ Sign & share –> equalityaustralia.org.au/hands…
Our #LGBTIQA+ community is facing some of the most serious attacks on our rights and protections in many years.
Right now, we are facing multiple bills that would strip protections from #trans people and erode Australia’s anti-discrimination laws more broadly.
Once again we need to fight for our rights and protections. If the shitshow that’s happening in the US right now is teaching us anything, it’s that legal protections are never completely settled and can be removed or reduced at any time if the people who hate us are able to mobilise and drag us back to the 1950s.
Please sign the Equality Australia petition calling on federal MPs to stand with us – and share it widely with your friends, family, and communities on every platform you can.

For a piece I’m working on, I’m looking to talk to trans people about menopause!
Do you have feelings about how gendered menopause is? Did experiencing (peri)menopause change how you feel about your gender? Did you know that gender-affirming surgery might make you suddenly menopausal?
If this is you and you’re up for answering some questions for me, please drop me an email at quinn@quinnrhodes.co.uk!

Children ‘low-hanging fruit’ in fight to end trans care, official at pro-Trump thinktank says

Columnist: I'm standing up for what I believe in! Protecting women's sport! And I'll keep standing up for it, no matter how much those snowflakes try to silence me and my right to free speech!
Citizen: That's fantastic! You know, female athletes have to put up with so much vicious misogyny and abuse, especially on social media. Some men really can be snowflakes when it comes to women's sport.
Columnist: No! I'm raising the big issue in women's sport, and I'm being /attacked/ for it!
Citizen: Really?! People are attacking you for saying female athletes deserve equal pay for equal work?
Columnist: Not that one! I'm talking about something far more serious, affecting the health and wellbeing of female athletes. And even the very integrity of women's sport itself!
Citizen: Do you mean how sports science focuses almost exclusively on male athletes, leading to women suffering anterior cruciate ligament injuries at six times the rate of men (citation: nytimes.com/2026/02/26/magazin… )?
Citizen: Or do you mean how elite women's sport is routinely relegated to worse venues and TV coverage, with less sponsorship and promotion?
Columnist: No! I'm talking about protecting women's sport from the scourge of men transitioning for the sole purpose of winning at women's sport!
Citizen: Why would a professional male athlete who's not trans want to go through all the challenges and discrimination of transitioning for less pay, less TV coverage, fewer sponsorships, smaller crowds, less promotion, higher injury risk, worse venue, online abuse, and rampant misogyny, just to win at women's sport?
Columnist: Because *winning*!
Citizen: Can you give an example of where this has actually happened?
Columnist: ...
Citizen: And what do you propose to do about it?
Columnist: Totally dismantle democracy, install a totalitarian dictatorship, arrest or kill anyone who disagrees with said despot, and deport ethnic minorities en masse. Also we'll use it to justify rolling back all healthcare and civil rights to trans people, establishing that human rights exist at the arbitrary will of our overload, which the despot will use arbitrarily against all women and any other individuals or groups he disagrees with.
Citizen: That seems a bit... extreme.
Columnist: It's all to protect women's sport.
Citizen: And what will you do about the other issues I raised?
Columnist: Well, if any of them, such as research into sports medicine for women or facilities for women's sport, require public funding, then we'll cut the funding and give the money back to rich supporters of our despot as a tax cut.
Citizen: I see. Say, just out of curiosity, who do you think will win the grand final in the AFLW this year?
Columnist: I honestly don't care. I'm not into women's sport, sorry.

a #TERF bigot sees a woman they "suspect" of being #trans going into a women's restroom
in today's environment they are emboldened enough to raise a stink about it
of course, a moron's idea of superficial "signs" of not being a "real" woman is a sick stupid joke
so who wins?
sadistic pinheads who want to terrorize #women, in addition to the transphobes
that is what transmisic #bigotry and fearmongering empowers
