@juliacurlee.bsky.social I just read your article in The Atlantic; trying not to cry. Thank you for your heart, your courage and your service to this country. May your faith in its people and principles ultimately prove itself to be entirely justified.

@emilytesh.net I found ‘Some Desperate Glory’ at my local feminist bookshop. Fifty pages in, I have very definite thoughts about where it’s going, why Ursa left, and who will prove to be the actual villain. Hoping that Valkyr will prove herself a true avenging angel!

Words to the wise.

Okay, I have an idea…the 99% fund a private equity group that buys OTHER private equity groups, loads them with debt, then walks away… Could we make it work?

SCOOP from me: Trump's AI action plan released last week makes a specific set of recommendations around loosening Clean Water Act permits for data centers — recommendations mirrored in letters sent to the administration by Big Tech lobbyists earlier this year:

So it’s come to arresting rabbis. Does this administration have no shame or humanity?

Betting that if Ghislaine Maxwell is pardoned and testifies on the Donald’s behalf, she’ll thereafter have the life expectancy of a mosquito. She’s better off not taking a deal from Donny.

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.

Teachers don't need more tech. They need smaller classes and more (paid) time for prep and instruction. But alas, the tech option means more profit for billionaires, while the latter would cost billionaires more in taxes. And so, in our current kleptocracy, tech is what teachers are going to get...

SHOUT IT FOR THE CHEAP SEATS! ON REPEAT!

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Listen to what Uncle George is saying—it HAS happened here, and it CAN happen again.

Once again, the Roberts Court defers to religiosity over medical science, bodily autonomy and equal treatment. Don’t imagine for a moment that second-class status will be limited to transgender children.😡 Supreme Court allows Tennessee ban on gender-transition care for minors - The Washington Post

Of course asking someone what genitals they had at birth is a breach of the right to privacy. They’re called “private parts” not “private unless you suspect the person is transgender and then be as invasive as you want parts”

I wish I could effectively explain to people the cognitive and emotional distortions that have for decades accompanied my migraines. The misery is such that I pray for the headaches to hit, just so the distortions will go away. I’ve ruined relationships during migraine prodromes; and I hate that.

Somebody tell me it’s normal to freak out a little bit about scheduling GRS?

So, on the 92nd anniversary of the Nazis invading Germanys first sex-change clinic, SCOTUS rules that a blatantly discriminatory and unfounded ban on trans military service can proceed. Coincidence? I had a bit of hope for our country; but SCOTUS appears poised to rubberstamp Drumpfs every wish.😭

And now for a bit of truth and reality, courtesy of the AAP: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

And so it begins in The Land of the Free…😡

It’s a dysphoria evening, courtesy of my inbound migraine. I’m heartened to remember that no matter how ugly and awful I feel, that feeling is a delusion from which all women occasionally suffer. To that end, my sisters, remember that you are all beautiful, and wanted, and loved. ❤️ Good night. 🌙

The true talent of Catholic institutions is their ability to talk out both sides of their mouths. “Rules for thee, but not for me.”

Tomorrow is name change hearing day. Wish me luck!

Well, Biden signed the 2025 NDAA. He expressed concern for trans family members of service members, but he nevertheless signed it. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo....

Happy Monday! And as a woman in red once wrote, ‘No te lites bastardes carborundorum.’

@transplntmdphd.bsky.social —saw this and thought of you…

Yesterday I saw a patient who is experiencing her first potential pregnancy—U/S showed two gestational sacs but no fetal poles at approx age 5wks4d. She has a rare fertility problem. I worry about what will happen to her here (WI) if this represents a failed pregnancy—can she even terminate it?

Last night I dreamed that *someone* had carved an enormous frowny face in the moon, complete with Death Star dishes for eyes—and concluded that a) powerful aliens existed; b) they did not approve of us AT ALL; and c) they had a positively wicked sense of humor…

How embarrassing that The Atlantic would publish this article, which references the Cass Report as a credible review of gender-affirming care, suggests that GAC for minors is misguided, and pretends that conservatives don’t act from anti-trans animus. apple.news/A-cCRXjmERV2...

Well, it would appear Congress is prepared to throw trans healthcare under the bus as the cost of doing business. Taxation without representation—where have I heard that line before? apple.news/A27E5GCzxQ9i...

On my drive home from jury duty, I watched twelve police cars and an ambulance speed eastbound. Yet another senseless tragedy for which politicians will offer ‘thoughts and prayers,’ but no actual solutions. 😡

Yesterday I submitted my name change petition—long-overdue, considering I’ve been fully out since 2020, legally recognized female since 2015, on hormones since 2007. And yet all I can think today is that I continue to fail my wife—my love of 32 years. Which is ridiculous, but that’s dysphoria. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Todays Featured Patient Request: Snow Me and Pretend I’m Actually Behaving Like an Adult 🙄

Reposting because it’s something I need to remember to do.

So today appears to be ‘Don’t talk to Mischa Day.’ How are things, BlueSky peeps?

Todays good news…🙄

How droll—the GOP is actively planning to erase trans and intersex people 😡 www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c...

@irestar6.bsky.social Is everything okay with you and yours? I’ve not heard from you in a few days.

We do not talk enough about how conservatives believe there's one correct way to live and everyone should be forced to comply, and they call this freedom.

They started with Dobbs, and take another step with Skrmetti. The battle on personal autonomy has begun in earnest apple.news/AJ9vUW6Y7QP-...

Today SCOTUS hears U.S. v Skrmetti. While I’m normally a Pollyanna, it’s clear to me that SCOTUS will find for Skrmetti; they knew this before they took the case. By finding that TN can deny GAC to youth, they pave the way to deny GAC to all trans people—and then, to deny women bodily autonomy. 😡

Watched ‘Say Anything’ tonight with my little family, and was pleasantly surprised. For an 80s teen movie, it was way better than it had any right to be. And it really captured the angst of the era quite well, I think. Thoughts?

Well, I just got blocked for expressing the hope that people who DIY HRT will help keep each other safe. I still hold that opinion—HRT can be life-saving, but there ARE associated risks. Take care, my trans sisters and brothers.

Other people who are restricting calories in order to lose weight—when it’s cold, do you find it hard to get warm? It’s 11°F (-11°C) here, and even indoors (74°F) I’m STILL frozen. 🥶
