Before being a jerk stop and GROWL. Is your response Goofy (irreverent), Reversing (claiming the opposite), Obverse (opposing no matter what), Withholding (implying there's more to it), Leveraged (having counters ready to any reaction). Ok, now you can be a jerk!

@KevinSabellico Allowing therapists to discuss self-sterilization, or about the client's negative feelings about the client's sexual self, is not the same as any of that. 💫

Justice Jackson got this one right. One case she didn’t mention but makes her point very well: a judge recently upheld a ban on nurse practitioners who hold doctorate degrees from calling themselves “doctor.” Setting standards for medical has never been subject to the same analysis as speech laws because they are not speech laws. ama-assn.org/practice-manag…

@MassGovernor 100 years ago scotus said forced sterilization was ok. Today it said a therapist talking to a client about the client not going down a path to sterilization is ok. It's a bit different ya?

Let’s be clear: conversion therapy is dangerous. It doesn’t work—and it can cause real harm, especially to kids. To the LGBTQ+ community: your health and safety are non-negotiable. I see you, I value you, and as your governor, I will protect you.

WOW, Justice Jackson comes out in support of Dobbs and against Roe/Casey.

@USConstAmendIX True, states have historically had minimum qualifications, but they haven't dictated people’s viewpoints. Also, historically medicine considered homosexuality a mental disorder. CO’s and the dissent’s reasoning would mean states can ban therapy that *affirms* homosexuality.

@hillarytaylorvi @CAgovernor Jackson argues the same argument as those who would force every schoolchild to salute the flag. Sicko! Totalitarian! Statist! Take your monstrous overexertion police powers into yourself, and let that abuse you would extend upon others temper you thoroughly!

@CAgovernor exactly. so sad that the supreme court is filled with 8 religious activists. justice ketanji is the only constitutionalist we have.

Conversion therapy is discredited junk science that inflicts harm on LGBTQ youth. The Supreme Court’s decision is disappointing and puts vulnerable kids at risk.

@dots_jenny @BerthonJeanMarc @Marina_Ferrari @ILGAWORLD @francediplo @fs_lgbt @stop_homophobie You'll regret those words! When trans are in the olympics competing in their sex class not only in safety but celebrated, you too will cheer in smug satisfaction, as if your current foolishness is not the same as that French Marina, who also will cheer smugly!

@bleiu55 @BerthonJeanMarc @Marina_Ferrari @ILGAWORLD @francediplo @fs_lgbt @stop_homophobie Oh, I see. You're just a moron. Noted.

Following the attempt to rehabilitate Russia, the @IOC has now decided to exclude from the Olympic Games those with variations in sexual characteristics and to impose femininity tests on female athletes that contravene both the law and ethical principles. France, through its minister Marina Ferrari, has expressed its deep concern.

@USA_Polling The soul of a cop. A police state cop.

Thank you Ketanji for being the only justice with a soul apparently

@PlunkingOtter Begs the question why trad trans women need to compete in the women's division, if women don't need it. Also in the Olympics for a while now men's has been an open category wrt sex.

Yes. She really wrote this.

@Scott_Wiener You're a cop, police state Weiner, all hot dog and probably some donuts too 😑. 🚓🌭🚓👮‍♂️🍩👮‍♂️🚔🚨🚨🚨

The Supreme Court just struck down Colorado’s law banning the psychological torture of LGBTQ youth, aka conversion therapy. Colorado’s law is similar to CA’s. We anticipated this ruling, so I introduced SB 934, which makes it much easier for LGBTQ people to bring malpractice claims against those who inflict this torture on them, including with a much longer statute of limitations for kids who’ve been harmed. The Supreme Court majority opinion explicitly states that malpractice claims for conversion therapy are different than bans. You can’t “convert” someone who’s LGBTQ — full stop — & people who think you can are peddling quackery. California will always have the community’s back.

My thinkology is not nor has ever been "on the clock" it has always been, and shall remain, over the clock, though the clock, under the clock, without the clock, obversely inverse to the clock etc. Justice Jackson? Jackson is non-stop always-overtime pro-police-state pro-cop.

@scotus_wire A good liberal and anti-conservative ruling. The right is desperate for paedop to be recognized as an unassailable sexual orientation and statutory rape to be de-statutized, they're blowing off at Jackson in the comments bc she failed to convince the other justices.

🚨 In an 8-1 vote, the Supreme Court holds that Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy,” as applied to petitioner's talk therapy, violates the First Amendment because it constitutes viewpoint discrimination

@dots_jenny @BerthonJeanMarc @Marina_Ferrari @ILGAWORLD @francediplo @fs_lgbt @stop_homophobie I don't believe I was having a stroke when I wrote that, and not now either, and I do still believe it will be a welcomed 'egg-on-face' moment for progressive types when trad trans women and certain 'intersex' athletes are finally after all this time competing in men's sport.

@bleiu55 @BerthonJeanMarc @Marina_Ferrari @ILGAWORLD @francediplo @fs_lgbt @stop_homophobie Are you having a stroke?

@Zendaya_Updated Very cute and fun, what a delight too that everyone commenting seems to be just as bitter and misanthropic as I am. A commune of filth, for we are disgusted.

Zendaya & Robert Pattinson when a comment on jealousy from their partners (Tom Holland & Suki Waterhouse) was made: "I don't think they are, at all!"

@catpoopburglar Not an academic book but Fire & Water by Barbara Lyons is a fun collection of tales from Maui.

you need to be folkloremaxxing

@TheCanaryUK It's a culture-shifting progress to include those particular dsd and trad trans women athletes as competitors in the men's category. These behind-the-times laggards will be seen for the close-minded sexist fools they are once actual inclusion kicks up, all thanks to the ioc.

Caster Semenya is mounting a class action lawsuit against the Olympics for their patently discriminatory ban on trans and intersex athletes thecanary.co/global/world-a…

@txgermanbre They (whatever the vance trump neo new worlders are called) want Europe to militarize.

Wow. How bad did Vance fuck up that meeting with them 😭

@stacycay @ianharber Christians follow Paul & his bit about hair & leadership & shutting up women. Most were/are obsessed with 'gender' just like most trans. Lewis' "men with chests", Tolkien's lack of women characters, are gender enforcement of their day; trans + or - dunno but they 💖 stereotypes.

@ianharber Being a Christian doesn’t automatically make you transphobic. There’s nothing in the bible thatd do that. It didn’t really become an important part of evangelicalism until very recently, but Tolkien and Lewis both would’ve hated evangelicalism.

Cancelling Harry Potter because of Rowling but remaking/doing spin offs of Narnia and LOTR despite Lewis and Tolkien being two of the most prominent Christian figures of the last century who undoubtedly share Rowling’s views she’s been cancelled for. Make it make sense.

@AvatarObi @ianharber "that difference of temper ... is but bodied forth in their choice" this 'woman' and 'man' are an attitude and the body expresses this or does not. Males with 'feminine' temperament (whatever that is supposed to be) are false men, actually women. Sexist hogwash but very trans.

@ianharber Tolkien said "Trans Rights" in The Silmarillion
