“That’s a shift. Too little, too late, you say? I disagree. If you want reform instead of perpetual culture war, you gotta give liberals and Democrats permission to defect.” 💯💯💯Well said, Lisa! And thanks to you both for this massive round-up.
As more liberal parents face ROGD kids, and look at a future of their kids being infertile, they will look for decent information. It's the ones that have no kids, or haven't had it happen to theirs that things like the Cass report might reach.
Very glad to hear this. If the D Party in CO keeps this up, seems to me they’re the ones who should be required to remove “Democrat” from their name. Maybe change it to, dunno, maybe the Big Brother Party😎
I'll admit I've probably read too many spy or political thrillers. Still, I'm sure the action of the CO Democrats against DI-AG is a provocation engineered by covert GOP operatives infiltrated into their party apparatus. So far, Democrats including the Biden administration have largely succeeded in concealing their adoption of the most extreme version of the radical trans ideology. I haven't seen one word anywhere except required official publication of the Biden administration's move to compel schools to permit boys and men to compete in girls' sports activities. The legacy news media, naturally, have fully cooperated. I still am waiting to see whether the Cass Report breaks through the blackout; I long ago gave up hope of any coverage of the way European medical institutions have backed away from their former enthusiasm for "gender affirming care". There haven't even been the formulaic "Republicans pounce ..." stories.
What worries me the most is the real possibility that the Democrats will manage to lose the possibility of getting the votes of the "persuadables". Given the choice between 1) an obvious psycho - whose main appeal seems to be the psycho - and who is campaigning on the promise to tear up the Constitution, and 2) a party that at least goes through the motions of complying with the rule of law, I'll take preserving at least the ideal of rule of law. It really has gotten tiresome choosing the lesser evil, the third time in a row.
Biden is the one destroying small-d democracy. He plans to overturn, by administrative fiat, laws passed by democratically elected legislatures in 25 states: https://archive.ph/2Tks6
So this 68-year-old lifelong Democrat (I had a Kennedy-Johnson bumper sticker on my toy car and I canvassed for George McGovern and many other Democrats at all levels over the past half century) will be voting straight Republican in 2024. Because the Democrats are no longer democrats.
Anyone else notice the two reports on BONE DENSITY contradict each other? Trans women’s bone density is so weak they are similar to women and then the headline that it isn’t affected. Of course there are details and context specific cases in each.
How can we address male aggression and violence? They are the reason females need female-only spaces. If males would stop hurting, raping, and killing females, would we be having these discussions?

Just as an FYI, DI-Ag.org does not have chapters. It has members, whose numbers are increasing, thanks to the CO Democratic Party!
Will correct, thanks!

In trans land that's "big sibling party"

Excellent article on the Cass Report from Helen Lewis at the Atlantic. I particularly appreciated the way she called out both the Times and WaPo (through embedded links) for the way they referred to detransitioners as RW pawns. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/04/cass-report-youth-gender-medicine/678031/
Thank you for sharing this, Susan
And even better is how I spotted it—a tweet from the wonderful Kate Parker!

Genetic engineering might work.
