Texas summer camp provides safe place for LGBTQ kids
The girl traveled to summer camp with two friends from Austin, giggling and singing and cracking jokes on the drive up Interstate 35. She was the oldest, at 14, and the tallest, so she claimed the front seat of the Prius.

Trump’s Claim That Transgender Kids Get Surgeries At School Should Disqualify Him From Office
So the idea that any kid goes off to school without coming home for days and then they come home with an operation to apparently make them transgender is not connected to any reality whatsoever.
Donald Trump Claims Schools Offer Sex-Change Surgeries - The Atlantic
Non-paywall version: https://archive.is/HUlyk
In any case, Trump’s suggestion that schools are performing gender surgery is not only untrue; it’s also a dangerous, unsubtle dog whistle to the QAnon followers in his party, who have long argued that Democrats are sexualizing children. We already know that this kind of rhetoric can have violent outcomes: The propagation of a similar child-abuse theory famously resulted in a 2016 attack at a D.C. restaurant.

Trump Falsely Claims Schools Are Giving Surgeries To Kids To Change Their Gender
On Friday, former President Donald Trump appeared at a Moms for Liberty conference in Washington, D.C. where he expressed extremist views on trans people that are wildly divorced from reality. He made numerous remarks that highlight both his record as an anti-trans figurehead and the relationship he has to those orchestrating Project 2025. The conference, featuring discussions between Trump and Moms for Liberty founder Tiffany Justice, included 20 minutes of discussion relating to transgender issues.
Getting the Word Out - by Doc Impossible
It's tricky to be trans right now, particularly in the US and UK, because we've been made into a bit of a political... thing, lately. A lot of us want to fight back, but so often, we find that we're getting nowhere arguing with cis folks.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we're Getting the Message Out with a primer on effective entry-level trans activism. If you've been trying to figure out how to get involved, this one's for you!

Trump Judge Rules Deadnaming Trans Students Teaches "Tolerance" In Bizarre Opinion
To support this ruling, the judge issued unusual legal opinions, including the assertion that using students' preferred names and pronouns was not "pursuant to her official duties." The judge further argued that students' names "convey a message” and that it was not the teacher's responsibility to convey that message.

"If you know anything about transgender healthcare, you know there’s some fairly significant gatekeeping hurdles to be overcome. That’s particularly true of gender affirming surgery."

Pourquoi le sport féminin de haut niveau doit se fonder sur le sexe, et non sur le genre | Perspective cubi(s)tes
Un article de Doriane Lambelet Coleman publié le 16 août 2024 dans le Washington Post, ici traduit et commenté par Audrey A.
En raison des disparités biologiques entre les sexes en termes de force, de puissance et d'endurance, on constate, selon le sport et l'épreuve, un écart de performance de 10 à 50 % entre les meilleurs athlètes masculins et féminins. La séparation des athlètes en compétition sur la base du sexe est le seul moyen de faire la part belle à la moitié féminine de la population. Aucun autre critère de sélection - que ce soit la taille, le poids ou toute autre caractéristique physique - ne permet d'atteindre cet objectif d'inclusion.

Anti-Trans Witch Hunt: Musk, Rowling May Face Jail | Prism & Pen
“Men protecting male power have a much clearer view than Feminists do of exactly how threatening crossing gender is.” By the same token, feminists who are vehemently anti-transsexual have a much better understanding of how threatening transsexual existence is to their flawed ideology than do transsexual people themselves.
Don’t Say You’re Sorry My Kid Is Trans | by Rowan G Marci | Prism & Pen | Aug, 2024 | Medium
“Sorry” is something you say when someone has died. My child isn’t dead, he’s right here — still the same bright, bold, beautiful person he’s always been. Even more so, in fact: more confident, more self-assured, more comfortable in his skin.

“A lot of times, elected officials have not really taken our issues seriously, in part because they think that we’re too small of a community to matter,” said Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, executive director of Advocates for Trans Equality. “Now we’ve been able to prove that that is not true at all.”
I was among those attendees.
Selfies, eye contact, trans joy, makeup
If you've been paying attention, you've noticed I don't do much makeup in my selfies. There's complicated emotional abuse reasons for that. This isn't about that.
The past few days, I have acquired some new makeup (mostly eye makeup) and have been playing around with it. I think I like the results.
Pardon the squinting in the closeups. I was more interested in see the makeup look than my eyes.
