remember, journalists: you don’t have a “preferred” gender identity, bathroom, locker room, pronoun, etc. neither do trans folks.

If you think Idaho’s in the PNW I’d really like to know why…and I’ll leave it there for now
Boise, Google is confused about what region you're in. PNW or Mtn West?? She is a mystery cc @blakehunterrr

Boise loves dogs. We're on lots of natl lists about pups. But can we crown ourselves the most dog-friendly city in America??
That's the Q we're asking @city_cast_boise all month. What's your take?
Psst someone go adopt Pelican from @WestHumane plz! boise.citycast.fm/dog-days

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.
The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.
"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.
However...
Let's address that 0.3%.
Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:
👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.
Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.
The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.
Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

Powerful words from Justice Jackson’s dissent.

Loved talking astrology with my fellow earth sign mami @eavitia_ and Gemini queen @iamemmaarnold! AND! We found out what Boise's sign is 👀
Does the City of Trees give off big earth sign energy, or are we more independent like a Leo? @RachelSpacek and @eavitia_ join host @iamemmaarnold to guess Boise’s zodiac sign— the answer might surprise you. 😯(2/2)

But wait, TERFs repeatedly insisted to me that my predictions of this very thing happening were never going to happen???
“Girl, 9, accused of being trans at Kelowna track meet”
This is where anti-trans hate leads. It is an attack on all forms of gender non-conformity, ending in the re-imposition of regressive gender norms and threatening progress on women’s rights. castanet.net/news/Kelowna/43…
