On the one hand she is horrific and anything that makes her miserable is a good thing.

On the other hand, I'm not happy someone was outed like this.

On the other, other hand, he did marry her, and I imagine has probably said horrible thing about LGBT people.

I don't know other than I'm happy if she isn't.

Important: Idaho Bathroom Law Could Carry Jail Time

Blog About: 

Author: 

Sharing this here because it may affect some members of our community, especially those who travel.

Idaho is advancing legislation that would criminalize using a restroom that doesn’t align with sex assigned at birth. The penalties include up to 1 year in jail for a first offense and up to 5 years (felony) for a repeat offense.

I’ve put together a breakdown of the bill, including how those penalties compare to other crimes under Idaho law:

Yessir, good ole’ Donny has that tar baby right where he wants it!

Trump started a war with no true justification and no real goal in mind. Nothing beyond distracting voters from all of his other problems and scandals, plus the ability to thrust out his chest and brag about how “no one has ever done anything so great before”. His usual claim to fame.

And now every time he hits the Iranian tar baby, he just gets stuck deeper and harder and has no idea how to get loose.

European shift in tech reliance

Europe shifts reliance on big tech away from non-European and proprietary companies. (This is not directly transgender related, though indirectly there is some relevance. But many members of the BCTS community are tech savvy, and there have been many related discussions here before.)

When I checked the site today, I found a message sent to me regarding an attempt by multiple anti-trans organizations to get the FDA to create restrictive regulations on the prescription and use of estrogen for the treatment of transgender women. The request is of course based on pseudoscience, and when reviewing the petition it becomes readily apparent that many of the justifications for their petition are being twisted to reflect a viewpoint not originally cited within the referenced materials.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court says states can restrict transgender healthcare to make adults “appreciate their sex.”

Yes. That’s actually what the ruling says.

Here’s why the 4th Circuit decision is so dangerous.

The Fourth Circuit Just Said States Can Force Adults to “Appreciate Their Sex.” Yes, Really.

And a few days ago I finished reading The Station’s Late Nite Princess, and started in on Frills, both of which are among my favorites.

In Frills, there is a scene where the main character’s home is toilet papered, the cars covered in shaving cream, and the house egged, by a group of high school students for the 28th time inside of a year. What made this stand out was the news story I saw this evening about a high school teacher in Georgia who was killed Friday night by a group of five teens while they toilet papered his home.

Proposed law to make asserting one’s transgender identity legally punishable

Caution: 

Blog About: 

Author: 

What makes HB 1442 particularly alarming is language critics say effectively criminalizes asserting a transgender identity in certain contexts. The bill narrows the legal protections for gender identity in New Hampshire’s nondiscrimination law and defines accessing certain sex-segregated spaces based on gender identity as an “improper purpose.”

In plain terms, the legislation creates a legal framework where simply stating or acting on one’s gender identity could be used against someone if they attempt to use facilities consistent with that identity.

Just a quick comment in light of last night’s attacks on Iran…..

Blog About: 

Author: 

Notwithstanding Trump’s repeated lies about not getting the US involved in another endless war in the Middle East, he has now attacked Iran for a second time in conjunction with his buddy Netanyahu. This is obviously all about regime change, with the added advantage that it distracts voters from his domestic failures - not to mention the fact that his administration continues to bury multiple documents related to him and Epstein.

There literally is a new dinosaur…….

Named Haolong Dongi.

Haolong (lit. 'spiny dragon') is an extinct genus of hadrosauroid ornithopod dinosaur known from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian age) Yixian Formation of Liaoning, China. The genus contains a single species, Haolong dongi, known from a nearly complete, articulated skeleton with preserved integumentary structures.

The generic name, Haolong, comes from Mandarin Chinese and translates to "spiny dragon," in reference to its integumentary structures. The specific name, dongi, honors Dong Zhiming, a prominent Chinese paleontologist.

I was reading Michael Pollan’s new book, A World Appears, this evening. In his book, Pollan discusses the nature of consciousness and how we have democratized consciousness; how we have pushed consciousness downward to other mammals, cephalopods (like octopi), some types of insects (hive minds?), and possibly even plants.

Vance has already attended the opening ceremony and various venues; he was booed at the opening ceremony as well as while watching luge.

Patel, whose use of a government jet has frequently come under scrutiny, flew on a Justice Department plane Thursday to Italy with plans to attend the Olympic hockey medal rounds, according to public data and sources familiar with the matter.

Bc shooting

Recent shooting in small town British Columbia that is making news for all the wrong reasons.

The shooter was a troubled transwoman. From what I have been able to gather thus far she was cyber bullied. The one pictured showed someone that had been through male puberty even though she supposedly transitioned at age 12 then quit the school two years later.

The victims were either adults, two, or children around the same age as her step brother 12.

Small remote redneck Canadian town.

Repeated calls for police which included suicide. Guns.

The Democratic members of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have released the findings of a report examining last month's fatal shootings in Minneapolis by federal immigration officers. In their statement, the report claims that "President Trump, [Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi Noem, and [the U.S. Department of Homeland Security] have lied over and over again and are now trying to cover up the truth. The Trump Administration needs to be held accountable."

This evening, I was exposed to greatness. Colbert’s guest was Ian McKellan, who performed live a speech from Shakespeare’s play Thomas More, which was written some 500 years ago and represents the only work actually preserved in the Bard’s actual handwriting. For political reasons, namely that it was considered seditious when written, the play was first performed in 1967. Ian McKellan was the actor who created the part of Thomas More in that first production of the play; a play which is as fitting in today’s world as it was 500 years ago.
