I’m surprised there’s even a question in anyone’s minds. To me there is no “justification” for outing some one. Like ever. Not even some one like Lindsay Graham. Imo outing attacks the whole community and only works as a “punishment” because of homophobia and prejudice.

It’s not unaccepted in the community that outing someone in power that is actively harming the community is morally justifiable.

I understand and I’m not going to tell anyone they have to agree with me. Perhaps in some cases the harm is necessary. People have to look after themselves and each other as they see fit. But when people find themselves looking through the past of a victim like this trying to find something that makes an obvious right wing attack justifiable in the media I hope it gives a lot of them pause.

Daisy made her true position clear in a statement echoing back to the ex-gay movements of the 1990s: Nobody should be allowed to transition at any age, and that everyone should convert to Catholicism.

Last year in my time in Seattle I had a primary care doctor ask me to get a consult with their specialist before providing care. Which is just HRT for me at this point.

A Texas high school says that a transgender student will no longer be allowed to play the male lead in a student production of Oklahoma!

Max Hightower, a senior at Sherman High School in Sherman, Texas (about 65 miles north of Dallas), was cast as the male lead in the classic musical last month, according to KXII. “It was a beautiful day,” Max’s father, Phillip Hightower told the local CBS affiliate.

But days after Max landed the role, Phillip Hightower says that the school’s principal called to inform him that his son would not be allowed to play the role after all due to a new policy. Hightower says he was told that “actors and actresses could only play a role that was the same gender they were assigned at birth.”

God damn Texas again…
