@skedarwarrior it's ok, & thank you for admitting that. just fwiw, fyi, given you acknowledged unfamiliarity in this area, the reason i reacted with some vehemence is that the form of words you used happen to be a common line of attack wielded by despicable RWNJ christofascists as part of their non-stop war against peeps like me. they assert the lie that gender & sex are identical, that therefore by definition there is no such thing as a trans-peep, & that any who claim otherwise are merely making a choice, a "lifestyle-choice", analogous to choosing to eat an apple today or go to the beach tomorrow, a free-will choice. they deny [based on zero knowledge but maximum hatred] that we deserve any rights or protection, coz, again, they assert dishonestly that we are not simply just "us", like a left-hander is simply just being themselves, but instead that we simply make a fatuous disingenuous choice. ergo, many trans peeps react rather adversely when we encounter anyone talking about "choice", even if as in your case it was not done maliciously, coz we fear the commencement of yet another deranged RWNJ attack. fyi. @cstross

My little sister just shared this with me. Samantha Boucher is my sHero! Maybe, more transgender people should use the restroom that they identify with, in the states & D.C. where these laws have been applied. #transgenderrights #transkids #transgenderveterans

did / do the editors believe that pap like this actually helps we in the wider trans community, those of us who are not beautiful people, who visually do not pass, we whose physiognomy sadly entirely makes any dream of stealth impossible?

if you think that #TheGreatUnwashed will be won over to stop hating & hurting trans peeps by misleading propaganda like this, how then do you expect them to react once faced with the inevitable reality of encountering "ordinary" trans peeps in daily life who do not look at all like these glamour pics?

Supreme Court rules against Colorado ban on LGBTQ+ ‘conversion therapy’

The Supreme Court has ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice. The high court majority sided Tuesday with a Christian counselor who argues the law banning talk therapy violates the First Amendment. The justices agreed the law raises free speech concerns and sent it back to a lower court to decide if it meets a legal standard few laws pass. President Donald Trump’s Republican administration supported the counselor. Colorado said the measure simply bars a practice of using therapy to try to “convert” LGBTQ+ people to heterosexuality, a practice that’s been scientifically discredited and linked to serious harm.
