The Trans Panic Clickbait Economy

A series of misleading claims have gone viral this month, sowing fear and confusion about ICE targeting trans people, a transgender public registry, and an imminent gender-affirming healthcare ban.

my recent frustration with this was the FDA petition which people were convinced meant a trans estrogen ban was imminent. when i tried to fact check it using my experience covering the federal government, people in my replies refused to believe it.
i didn't even bother to try to fact check the false ICE is targeting trans people thing after that. not worth getting yelled at.

Gare does great reporting. They're a regular host on #ItCouldHappenHere podcast.

#CoolZoneMedia, that podcast's network, has a variety of podcasts that cross-populate guests from other podcasts. That's how I've found out about some of the podcasts outside their network that I now regularly listen to.
