Weird how medical procedures that only cis men need are never ever questioned or put on the chopping block. Definitely a coincidence and has no bearing whatsoever on either this case or the case used to strike Dobbs.
Crip Dyke, there is a person named Lisa Simeone who has been going into the comment sections of substacks and pushing all kinds of anti-transitioning "science," mostly from the UK, in various well-regarded substacks. Sometimes she is completely OT and injects her concerns and "data" in there anyway. Other times she tries to connect it to the topic at hand. Have you seen her trying to do this? She is also trying to divide LGBQ folks from Trans folks. Scary, but as I cannot afford to subscribe to all the ones I read, I am unable to comment in response. Heads up!
I haven’t seen her trying this at Wonkette. However, she’s been doing this at Your Local Epidemiologist substack, and one other, but I didn’t write it down. I can’t afford to subscribe to very many stacks and so I can’t call her out directly. (Shrugs)
They're already trying. Indeed that's part of what SB1 (at issue in Skrmetti) does: bans medical treatments and mandates psychotherapy. It doesn't specify it must be conversion therapy, but it's hard to imagine any other type of therapy meeting the state's requirement that the treatment "promote appreciation of their sex".
The least of our current problems is the wife of the wresting guy dismantling the Department of Education and funneling the money to people even weirder than Betsy DeVos.
She was on X an hour ago. Sample frothing: "We should be thanking our amazing military, Donald Trump, and we should show some gratitude for Israel who helped President Trump save the world from a nuclear holocaust. I have had enough of the blatant Jew hatred disguised as 'debate'. Some of you people have behaved like lunatics these last few days."
There was a time, not so long ago, when people who said such crazy things would be locked away. Now, thanks to Reagan's closing of the mental hospitals, such people are running the government.
Now, before anyone gets upset, shout out to 1968 when a rare alignment of the planets had the so-called "unholy trio" of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath emerge as if from the earth itself. And yet, pioneers in "heavy metal" laid the groundwork. And, of course, the 1960s fed into the 1970s. But then, the fucking 1980s happened, and we old rockers sat stunned, realizing what was lost. We wept. So don't no one tell me of heartbreak. Been there. Still, in the 1980s, we sought each other out for comfort, and played Fleetwood Mac or whatever. Having sex was mostly for therapy.
An MSNBC talker, discussing where some think this might go? Will we continue this operation, and "decapitate" Iran "once and for all?" Um, history. Iraq? Afghanistan? How 'bout Bin Laden's statement after 9-11? Basically, 'we did this in response to a hundred years of western meddling.' I'm so sorry for the ruined world our children will have to live with. Thanks MAGA.
But it would either require a massive occupation force (far larger than Iraq even at the peak) or if they’re not to fussy about civilian casualties dropping a couple tactical nukes on Tehran.

Have you seen her here on Wonkette? I've blocked a few people for doing this kind of thing on Pervert Justice, but I don't remember the names, sorry.

Will they try to bring back conversion therapy next?

Did somebody just start a war? I swear I heard someone start a war.

The first one...I knew exactly what that would be already. Only clicked to verify.
doG, MOST of us of umm, ... a certain age, had that one when we were littles.
Okay. You're going to have to admit it: you are my Sicilian secret sibling.

I like your mom!
The eternal question for the night is, which stock is this a sign for ? . . .
Always start your hot war after the closing bell on a Friday night.
Nothing inspires war quite like running from indictments . . .
And religion.
I LOVE the current APNEWS front page headline leading words!!

Oh, we're certainly been "inserted" .

Was there a nitrile glove ready there beforehand ? . . .

Just for perspective.
I'm glad I opted to check out of reality this evening, and just finished this Anna Ferris stoner flick from 2007.

Since we have no levers of power in our hands right now, the opposition party should be calling people into the streets.
We just held a big rehearsal number last week, and now the rubber hits the road.
Fuck.
The people in the situation room during the bombing included Dan Scavino, Trump's former caddie.
Anyone got eyes on Laura Loomer?
Had a Faye Dunaway moment there for a sec.

No, seriously, kids. This is serous...Come on now. Real quotes only...

So a normal one for her, then?
Fuck this fucking timeline.
Dumbest bullshit possible, all the time.
Bring on the Independence Day alien invasion.

I hate it so damned much...but the alternative isn't a helluva lot better.

At least we all have each other to lean on here.
But I haven't felt this much dread in a very long time.
Fact check: True.

Oh, and for an extra kicker Iran is even rockier than the other two.
Could we? Yeah. We could.
But it would either require a massive occupation force (far larger than Iraq even at the peak) or if they’re not to fussy about civilian casualties dropping a couple tactical nukes on Tehran.
With this crowd…who knows?
Iran has a standing army of around 9 million. I imagine this will bring in a lot of new recruits, too. A ground war would be long and hard.
Planet: “That trick never works!” US right wing: “This time for sure!”
Must be the wrong hat!
