Getting a concealed carry permit in. California is very difficult. I wonder if she has one. She certainly shouldnāt going forward. And her guns should be confiscated while all of this gets investigated.
Edit-
ā California also generally prohibits carrying or possession of a firearm in the following locations:
- In the State Capitol, any legislative office, any office of the Governor or other constitutional officer, or any hearing room in which any committee of the Senate or Assembly is conducting a hearing, or upon the grounds of the State Capitol, which is bounded by 10th, L, 15th, and N Streets in the City of Sacramento, if the firearm is loaded, or the area is posted with a statement providing reasonable notice that prosecution may result from possession of a firearm.14ā
Several laws seem to have been broken and ignored.

How can i put this? The BBC has transā¦. issues? No. Transā¦ problems? Nah.
Stop mincing words, jane. The BBC is a dumpster fire of unreconstructed bigotry and misinformation when it comes to trans folks. More of that in a minute.
Thatās why, at the end of this piece, i will be asking you, dear reader, to join me and Trans Media Watch in a new project: #BBCWatch. It will be a bit like SpringWatch, which looks out for signs of spring; CrimeWatch, which keeps an eye on criminals; and Watchdog, which does much the same for Crufts (Editorās note: no, it doesnāt!)
For details, skip to the end now.
Or stay with this for a little bit of history.

Last month, GLAAD wrote an open letter to The New York Times protesting the paperās coverage of trans issues. In particular, the group took issue with the way the paper has covered medical sex changes or āgender affirmationā for minors. Contrary to clinicians and experts quoted in the Times, GLAAD asserted the science behind this practice is āSETTLED.ā The letter was co-signed by a wide array of human rights groups as well as celebrities like Lena Dunham and Judd Apatow.
It doesnāt get any better from there.
The first time I announced my pronouns, āIām David, he/him,ā I was a freshman in college attending a transgender discussion group. It was 2005. At the time it seemed quite progressiveāeven for me, an openly gay 18-year-old volunteering at my liberal collegeās resource center for gay rights. In the most progressive clique at one of the countryās most progressive schools, being transgender was still mostly a theoretical conceptāa new frontier that college kids were just beginning to discover.
emphasis mine
Trans people were a ātheoretical conceptā in 2005 
, I guess I didnāt know I was trans and learn everything involved in transitioning in the late 90ās then.
also a great response to the article,

Only connect. Dispossess yourself even of the oppression you treasure as your particular possession, and walk naked into the solidarity of the dispossessed. Without a utopia in mind, a commons of the persecuted where all losses can be salved, there is no point to being gay.
Especiallyā¦
walk naked into the solidarity of the dispossessed
What a line thereā¦ So trueā¦

Jesse Singal has what he believes is strong evidence that the āwhistleblowerā whose story he desperately wishes were true because it would prove a culture war talking point is on the level. Itā¦is not:

Considering the hoops that the healthcare industry goes through in order to comply with HIPAA - and patients, too! - this fucker better go to prison for a LONG time.
And my understanding of the law is, Singal is culpable, too. If you receive information that is in violation of HIPAA, you are supposed to treat it like Top Secret documents; donāt look at it and report it right away.

Receiving stolen goods is a crime.
I guess reselling them for a profit in his stories makes him a fence.
This assholes hubris in his desire to harm trans people may have just gone Greek tragedy on him.

IIRC, HIPAA does not allow a carve out for journalists. It doesnāt matter if you are the Editor in Chief of the New York Times or the fucking Pope: publishing patient confidential information is a violation. Period.
