Today in transphobia (Part 1)

Probably a good list of the usual suspects:

[Catholic Medical Association]’s letter was joined by the American College of Pediatricians, the Coalition for Jewish Values Healthcare Council, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the Christian Medical and Dental Associations, the Coptic Medical Association of North America, and the National Association of Catholic Nurses, USA.

I know two of those groups are crackpots, so I think it’s safe to assume the rest are too.

“A number of community members voiced concern about the policy — while some others applauded it — during a heated meeting Wednesday night that featured broader pushback toward the board, including over its recent hiring of a consultant tied to the conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan.”

Their board has been captured by the far right.

There is no excuse for this shit from something that puts itself forward as an organization of medical professionals. This is right up there with “America’s Frontline Doctors” level bullshit.

I know this is for transphobia, but I don’t know if we have a thread for the opposite of that, so I thought I’d just drop this here. In the midst of all the bullshit, some progress.

Flasterstein walked away from the counter, thinking it was going to get done. When she returned, Hill, who is trans, was crying by the bakery counter.

The bakery manager apologized to the pair, but said that writing, “Trans people deserve joy,” was against corporate policy at Publix.

Instead, the bakery offered to write, “People deserve joy,” on the cake, leaving extra room at the top. They said they would give Hill and Flasterstein icing to use themselves.

As consolation, the manager told them they weren’t allowed to write “Black Lives Matter” on cakes, either.

Good thing the very large (and capital) city of Austin doesn’t have any teenagers!

Wait, what’s that you say?
