Notes from the Resistance
Trust the science!
The most recent example is the Supreme Court of New South Wales upholding a conviction for ‘vilification’ after women’s rights campaigner Kirralie Smith and the publication Binary Australia referred to two transgender individuals as men due to their biological sex. That led not only to $95,000 in fines but also to a sentence of compelled speech. [More]

[The] DC Court of Appeals in a 2 to1 decision said, indeed, that … President Trump’s policies of excluding transgenders from the military and not allowing them to serve, that this was unconstitutional and illegal. [Watch]
I’m wondering how soon someone’s gonna file a complaint about how getting rid of “non-binary” on the 4473 is an unconstitutional attack on freedom of expression requiring prospective buyers to choose between rights…
Hey, any chair in a bar fight…

‘It’s hidden’: Female genital mutilation and the secret shame of Minnesota’s Somalis [More]
How dare racist white Christian nationalist want to expel them from its stolen land!

A suspect accused of shooting and killing two people at a Rhode Island ice rink on Monday before killing himself was identified as transgender and had a history of past family conflict over his gender identity, a local news outlet reported, citing court documents. [More]
“Narcissistic + personality disorder traits,” eh?

Oh, look: It’s MAGA’s fault.
And Kevin Sorbo’s.
Perhaps it’s the fact that Republicans would offer their own proposals to address the shooting, including this one: “Repeal or amend the Democrats’ prohibition on doctors using their best medical judgment, instead of leaving their hands tied with political decisions made by the Democrat trifecta.” [More]
Everywhere these people rule, catastrophe follows.

Minnesota has red flag laws…. But because the killer’s family affirmed his mental illness, there was nothing a gun shop could do. So unless you’re prepared to make transgenderism a diagnosed mental illness, none of that will matter. [More]
Not that red flag laws would stop a determined psycho predator from victimizing others, and the law that would work has zero chance of being enacted.
I’m actually drafting an article about a Democrat school district in California (is there any other kind?) that is taking steps to legally classify objectors as the ones with mental problems. Stay tuned.
