The so called study is ridiculous, but the implications are chilling. I need to get a passport soon, just in case.

Is anyone surprised that an Administration that has enthroned Kennedy Jr as a Cabinet member with the healthcare portfolio is pumping out garbage “research” while Trump makes ridiculous claims about vaccines as measles cases rise.

"support for “gender-affirming” norms is strongly associated with broader authoritarian attitudes"

This is rich coming from the regime that at rapid pace has consolidated the power of the federal government around one man and his delusions.

This study was so clearly done in bad faith and with blatantly biased framing. It’s so evident in the questions they chose to ask, for one example. It’s appalling, but even if it makes me upset I’m glad you’ve brought this to my attention, as always. Thank you. I dream of a world where people can be honest and good-faith. This would be a reality I’d be happy to exist in.

Thank you so much for bringing visibility and awareness to this incredibly biased study and the ways the Trump regime might use it to further harm the trans community. I noticed all 5 researchers were men, and I believe they were all white men. This also skews the perspective of the study, I feel!

What???!?!!? Far-right MAGA transphobes concoct another steaming pile of nonsense -- now with extra flies -- that supports their being far-right MAGA transphobes?!?? Srsly???

(Film @ 11 will be superseded for cute videos of silly out-dated commercials from the 1960's for products that no longer exist.)

The phrase “now with extra flies” wins the thread. :-)

They're trying so hard to make us out to be violent when we just want to be left the fuck alone. And conveniently ignoring that most of the violence in our society is perpetrated by conservatives.

One outrageous facet of the study is that the violence they describe is all decidedly anti-authoritarian. If support for authoritarian violence was what they were curious about they would have asked about it.

It calls for a counter study showing how anti-trans hatred is linked to violent tendancies. Witness the current situation.

Call it "Where clinical pathology meets persecution: does pathological anti-trans hatred fuel right-wing authoitarianism?"

They are attempting to build a justification for arresting us. This is definitely the early stages of trans genocide. What a terrifying time to be alive.

They better not! Remember, our Constitution has provisions for such behavior against U.S. citizenry. Can you guess which amendment?

I don't feel super confident that the 4th Amendment will protect us if the fascists actually succeed in advancing their agenda. Habeas corpus can always be suspended. We live in a world where anonymous federal agents can murder U.S. citizens in broad daylight and face no repercussions. Monsters walk among us.

The fourth amendment was a good guess. However, that is not the amendment I was referring to.

That was my assumption before I even got to the 3rd paragraph. When they’re done with immigrants, the next roundup will be transgender people.

CDC has made changes to transgender diagnosis codes effective October 1 - replacing personal history of sex reassignment with more specific codes (whether transition is social, medical or surgical or intersex surgery) - they are also adding a detransition code https://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Health_Statistics/NCHS/Publications/ICD10CM/2027/
