Tucker Carlson suggests Biden admin puts chemicals in milk to turn kids transgender

Thrice-divorced wealth hoarder Elon Musk took to Twitter over the weekend to prove, yet again, that he doesn’t understand anything about trans youth.As the father of a trans daughter, one would hope he’d have educated himself at least a bit, but clearly the “pronouns suck” thinking that pushed her away is here to stay.This latest incident started with right-wing disinformation account “American Accountability Foundation” misinterpreting a section of a Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) research day booklet.They posted this excerpt with a misleading tweet:The @MUSCkids has four year olds coming through its transgender hormone clinic.And hopes: “In the future, hopefully more patients and at younger ages will be referred to affirming providers so that medical options such as pubertal suppression”https://t.co/EXnvgnv8vv pic.twitter.com/UILYvsosbi— American Accountability Foundation (@ExposingBiden) September 16, 2022Musk quickly responded to this with “Is it really true that four-year-olds are receiving hormone treatment?” For the record: Such a claim was made nowhere in the original material.Related: Elon Musk just reminded everyone why his trans daughter wants nothing to do with himBasic fact-checking and/or common sense would lead anyone to understand that no, hormones that aren’t present yet in children can’t be replaced. The richest person alive apparently does not possess such skills.Thankfully, there are plenty of folks who’ve witnessed his weird, transphobic BS long enough to call it out on the spot.Let the dunking commence:No, but now idiots will think it is.

Today is National Voter Registration Day, a chance to unite as a country in our democracy, and around the issues important to LGBTQ people and all Americans.GLAAD polling of LGBTQ voters has consistently shown our top concerns are the same as most Americans: abortion, healthcare, jobs and the economy, and climate change. The lives of LGBTQ people and especially queer people of color are deeply affected by these issues, and they are rooted in values every American cherishes: freedom, health and safety, love for our children, and a desire for a more prosperous future.GLAAD urges the media to include LGBTQ voices in the campaign conversation.

Editor's note: The following contains spoilers about the fifth episode of House of the Dragon, which premiered Sept. 18.(CNN) -- "House of the Dragon's" fifth episode is actually significant for logistical reasons, essentially marking the end of the chapter before the show time jumps ahead, featuring older versions of some characters and somewhat shuffling the deck.Yet the hour could generate as much buzz for a brutal death that occurred, inviting discussion of old concerns and wounds about the way that LGBTQ characters are treated -- and more to the point, killed off -- in TV dramas.The strides made in terms of greater inclusion have coincided with debate about how those characters are portrayed and the fates that they meet, giving rise to a much-discussed trope known as "Bury Your Gays." The phrase refers to a history in which gay characters have disproportionately died as a plot device, creating the impression they are more expendable in the eyes of storytellers.Given that, the "Game of Thrones" prequel potentially waded into controversy with its most recent episode, subtitled "We Light the Way," which again demonstrated, among other things, that in Westeros not much good ever happens at weddings.

Fox News host urged parents to "fight back" against teachers engaged in what he described as the "sexualizing" of children.Carlson criticized a transgender teacher and showed footage of her wearing large, prosthetic breasts. He also played clips of teachers talking about how they had discussed LGBTQ issues with their students and compared it to meeting a stranger in the park."If you were walking through the park with your kids and a stranger came up and started talking to them, say to your fifth grader, your five-year-old, even your 14-year-old about sex, what would you do? Well, you would call the police, of course. That's not allowed, it's a crime," Carlson said."But teachers are allowed to do it and then to brag about it.

murder of a Black trans woman called Naomi Hersi in 2018 in Hounslow, and the murder of a gay doctor named Gary Jenkins in Bute Park last year.This worrying trend here in the UK should be a cause for concern for anyone.While these figures might also be partly explained by increased confidence in reporting these issues, the ones reported are only the tip of the iceberg.Many people would never report hate incidents or crime to the police simply because they don’t believe the police will do anything about it, or take them seriously.According to LGBTQ+ domestic abuse charity, Galop, only one in eight LGBTQ+ people had ‘reported the most recent incident that they had experienced to the police’.I know this to be true both from working with charities that support people, and from the stories of queer people around me. LGBTQ+ people have also historically suffered stigma and discrimination from the police worldwide, so confidence that the police will support them is often low.Even in cases where issues have been reported to the police, I’ve heard from friends that there has often been no conclusion and cases have been dropped, or not recognised as a hate crime.This was also my experience. In 2018, I reported someone to the police for targeted harassment online.The person in question had repeatedly targeted myself and my partner online, where they maliciously misgendered us, calling us slurs and repeatedly abused us.

With support for gays and lesbians on the rise in Poland, the country’s transgender citizens fear they'll be a major target of the right wing ahead of next year’s parliamentary election. The same day in June that Warsaw held its Pride celebration, the chair of the conservative Law and Justice party, Jarosław Kaczyński, met with voters in the nearby town of Włocławek to voice his disdain for trans people, The Guardian reports.“We have elementary knowledge in biology, we know that gender is determined at the level of chromosomes. … In extreme cases, an operation must be performed, but this does not mean that after this operation a man will be a woman and a woman will be a man,” he said.He taunted the crowd, making a point to look at his watch, saying, “It’s now half past 5; before I was a man but now I’m a woman.”Kaczyński has touched on the subject several times since, poking fun at name changes and calling trans people “abnormal.” He also insulted Poland’s first trans member of Parliament, Anna Grodzka.The Polish government has attacked the LGBTQ+ community on several past occasions, with the country’s president, Andrzej Duda, running a successful reelection campaign two years ago based on anti-queer rhetoric.

Instagram post about transmedicalism and the cutting of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) in certain states.The Euphoria star and trans activist, 23, seemingly wrote on a post shared to Instagram last week by user @piggytaiwan about trans healthcare and how the non-binary community could be affecting trans people from receiving medical treatment.The post also said that non-binary trans people are contributing to laws in certain states that no longer regard HRT and gender-reaffirming surgery as medically necessary procedures.Earlier this month, Florida began a rule-changing process to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth in the state.This school of thought is known as transmedicalism, namely that being transgender is dependent upon experiencing gender dysphoria or requiring medical treatment to transition.It is also often referred to as "truscum", which is defined as: a person who believes that gender dysphoria is an essential trait to being transgender.In the original post, @piggytaiwan wrote in part: "Y'all couldn't stand to let binary trans people be the voice of this community," and, "That means more trans people will have to pay for their transition out of pocket, forcing more of us into sex work."A post shared by instagramThe post was criticized on social media, but fans noticed that Schafer had commented "!!!!!!" seemingly in agreement.
