Ohioans are tough. Especially us Trans Buckeyes. Speaking of... I'm one of them. One of the ones that was going to be at a meeting with you on the 28th. That meeting, that you aparently wont be at. Who will be? Your Political Director. Curious... why is that Amy? Oh, excuse me, Dr Acton.

Ohioans are tough. But when working hard isn’t enough to make ends meet, something has to change. As governor, I plan to bring that change by cutting your taxes, putting money back into your pockets, and fighting for working families.

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...

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

Lindsey Graham was anti-gay and even that couldn't hide his ladybugs. Look, anti-trans Trump official Dr. Oz, you can't hide HRT breast growth forever. Just come out already. It's no big deal. ...it's two big deals.

At least I get the comfort of knowing that ONE of Argentina or England, literally my two most hated teams, will go out. It’s gonna be a generational hatewatch for me next Wednesday lmao

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

How One Woman Is Using the UN to Attack Trans Rights Worldwide

It’s no coincidence that the Supreme Court’s decision allowing trans sports bans echoes the work of Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls.

There was a period of my life where I genuinely thought 'ACAB' meant 'Assigned Cop at Birth' But honestly, a lot of cops seem like they were born needing to feel control and power over others for absolutely no reason so I don't think I was too far off lol

I wrote an op-ed about the Graham Platner situation. If anything, I'm more upset at the fact that it took until now for people to condemn him when he's clearly been unfit for office for a long time. Look: he may be an ally, but he isn't a good person. And I'm sick of having bad people in charge.

Yes, Graham Platner is a Trans Ally. Yes, He Says What You Want to Hear. That Doesn’t Make Him Any Less Unfit for Office.

Despite his ostensibly progressive politics and vocal LGBTQ+ allyship, Graham Platner was unfit for office long before the latest allegations. Why did it take so long to finally draw the line?
