This is not a counterterrorism strategy
It’s Trump’s political message from yet another day in the U.S. forever war against Muslims and the decade-long smackdown on trans people. You can ignore free speech protections if you claim you’re fighting terrorism. It’s an anti-trans political strategy. It’s not a counterterrorism strategy.
Dawkins meets the AI
Her name is Claudia. Sadly, without him, she must die. Dawkins might say we trans people don’t exist when he’s not badgering us. He might regret the badgering. Meanwhile, are we worthy of his moral attention?

How the bathroom verification cards would work
I think they want magnetic locks on public bathrooms. Don’t put me on a registry of ‘safe’ trans people. No one stands to gain anything from it. Everyone would be harassed in search of the Mythical Bad Trans.
Transphobia, the Interrupting Cow
Prejudice obstructs continuous and coherent thought. Transphobia upholds gender-conformist and authoritarian aspects of culture. It tries to link itself to important feelings, but it isn’t sincere.

WDI co-author doesn’t support dressing however you like
In which Sheila Jeffreys says you can’t really wear what you like & there might be nothing wrong with being a transphobe. Jeffreys doesn’t believe people have the right to be trans. She thinks the reason to avoid a self-descriptor like “transphobic” is that it’s a naughty word.
