The good thing about our incredibly rancid culture war is that you can and should fight back (in part) by celebrating culture that you love. Especially culture that centers and uplifts marginalized people and rejects the miserable, joyless attitude that's at the heart of so much of our politics.
AI has reached a new frontier: conversion therapy for trans kids. Detrans AI‘s site claims it helps users explore their gender dysphoria. Instead, it cites conspiracy theories and seeks to invalidate trans people — even if it risks their lives. Read my original reporting @rewirenewsgroup.com
This AI Chatbot Is Targeting Trans Users With Conversion Therapy
Detrans.ai says it helps users explore gender dysphoria in a balanced way, but it promotes anti-LGBTQ+ messages and relies on discredited science. Here is what this AI therapy chatbot actually told ou...

Also, Kansas, North Carolina, and Kentucky have Dem governors but since they have overwhelming Republican legislative majorities, they simply overrode the governors and passed the legislation anyways. There really isn't much of a benefit to supporting a Dem caving on trans issues.
I wrote about Naomi Klein joining Substack and why writers of conscience shouldn't launch new media ventures on platforms that court white supremacy for clicks.
Why is Naomi Klein Funding Substack’s Hate Machine?
Writers of good conscience should not be building new media companies on the back of a platform that opportunistically coddles white supremacy.

TNN's Imogen Sayers delves into the Amnesty International UK report anti-trans groups, especially TERFs, tried to bury. It details an elite anti-rights funding network, including fundamentalists, dedicated to inflicting a highly bigoted view of gender on everyone else.
imogen sayers@imogensayers.ca · 3w agoLast week, Amnesty Intl published a report connecting anti-trans orgs in the UK to a wider anti-rights movement. A few days later, they took it down after some of those hate groups pushed back calling it a smear. From @transnews.network, here's a 🧵of what exactly TERFs don't want you to know.

Happy sixth day of #ArtRepostJuly! The theme is #dry Hmmmmm, sort of regretting choosing that word as I had to search high and low, but finally remembered this take on a gila monster enjoying its desert home 😅
In the press and online, trans children are increasingly treated as a "controversial issue" while facing a wave of policy attacks. What can we do to support them? From @nancymk.bsky.social ✍️
Trans kids are being hit by waves of hostile policymaking - they need our help
Trans children and young people don’t need our sadness; they need our power and our solidarity

I should know better but I still always shocked & disappointed by trans activists & journalist that only a single issue. Housing rights are trans rights, immigration rights are trans rights. Freedom of religion is a right, using that religion to commit genocide isn't.
I hope today is a stark reminder why "I will follow the law" was an absolutely horrible way to respond to a question about trans rights.
Disappointed with this BS being published. Antisemitism had fuckall to do with Wiener this year like last year being heckled just like Lurie & Leno before him because of his past political actions in SF & the state. He's been garbage on so many issues & harmed SF citizens including trans ones.
