Parker Molloy: There's not a goddamn thing that happens on this planet where one of people's first instincts isn't "how can we use this to fuck with trans people," apparently.

Judge cites new Supreme Court ruling in blocking health care anti-discrimination protections for transgender Americans | CNN Politicswww.cnn.com The Biden administration cannot enforce new anti-discrimination rules in health care for transgender Americans, a federal judge in Mississippi ruled Wednesday, citing a recent landmark Supreme Court r...

Like, of fuckin' course the first thing that SCOTUS ruling was going to be used for was to screw over trans people, naturally.

The regulation was simply, "hey, insurance companies, you're not allowed to discriminate against trans people solely based on them being trans, cool?" and that was apparently too much.

There's not a goddamn thing that happens on this planet where one of people's first instincts isn't "how can we use this to fuck with trans people," apparently.

Kansas judge blocks Biden's LGBTQ student protections in 4 more stateswww.reuters.com A federal judge in Kansas has blocked President Joe Biden's administration from enforcing new anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ students in four Republican-led states, saying it lacked authority to adopt such a regulation.

Go figure that the first two uses of this horrific court decision have been to screw over trans people 🙃

Oh ffs. Is this how they are going to fight the updates? Just pure assholery (and queer/transphobia and a general hatred of ppl with uteruses). I wish critics would make more of the fact that all of these things, including DEI bans, also target white women. White women need to wake up.

why people with uteruses specifically in this context when trans women will be the most negatively impacted by this?

Because the changes yo Title IX are very broad. They cover students who are pregnant as well. Students who are victims of sexual assault and harassment. Yes, they impact trans women. They also broadly impact women. The attempts to block are anti-woman.

Not denying the impact on trans and queer women. Just noting that the provisions also extend to pregnant people, people who are victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment. All the straight women would do well to pay attention and join the fight.

Never mind of course that SCOTUS has said otherwise; Calvin ball all the way

Oh neat I'll probably never be able to afford any surgeries that I desperately want because a bunch of dipshits just rule however they feel like now

State-level regulations may protect you, depending on where you're at, but yeah, federal protections have been kind of gone since Trump took a hatchet to them in the final months of his presidency.

Fingers crossed I won't live in North Carolina one day

it’s chris rufo and matt yglesias’s world, we just live in it

I would argue but dear lord the evidence is overwhelming. All my love.
