Insisting that everyone should have a clear, recognizable and unchangeable gender only makes sense if you want to treat people of different genders differently.

Which you clearly shouldn't.

DOGE’s creation of one massive, omnipotent database could let authorities retaliate against critics of the government, undermine political foes or personal enemies, and target marginalized groups, EFF’s Tori Noble told @Gizmodo. https://gizmodo.com/with-its-destruction-of-government-data-silos-doge-is-building-a-surveillance-weapon-2000596860

With Its Destruction of Government Data Silos, DOGE Is Building a 'Surveillance Weapon'

There's a reason the government's vast trove of data is compartmentalized.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Lake County May Try to Derail Eel River Dam Deal With Direct Appeal to President Trump

It was all kumbaya a couple of weeks ago, as various players in the drama over the Eel River Project stamped their seals of approval on a deal that would tear down both Scott and Van Arsdale Cape Horn dams, while at the same time continuing delivery of Eel River water to the Russian River watershed.

This guy woke up, got email he was fired and by 3:45pm locked out of everything digital,

He writes, "Additionally, before I could fully print off my government records, I was also locked out of my electronic personal file that contained my secure professional records."

If you work for the federal government in any capacity, and maybe even a sub-contractor, you should immediately back up and download/print any of your personnel and personal records #USPol

The HRC spent years working to convince the trans community it had changed only to prove it actually hadn't just a few weeks into the Trump administration.

"On the same day the national park service busy erasing trans people from history, HRC axed is entire trans justice initiative and laid off a bunch of amazing black and brown trans folks. " - Alejandra Caraballo

Capitol Hill reporters: Please ask congressional Republicans if they believe the Trump administration should follow federal court orders. If they say yes, ask them what Congress should do if Trump refuses.
