Chase Strangio fights for child transition because without it, "how do we get a generation of trans youth to survive, to organize for liberation?” She wants to initiate teens into the -- uh -- ideologically intense club she's a leader of so she can have more control over the Democratic party. "Organize for liberation" means they're all going to vote as the elders dictate. Here's Strangio's fellow trans lawyer trying to intimidate the Dems:

Because a certain kind of man believes that not getting everything he wants from women is oppression. This applies both to incels and to the type of trans-identified man who insists that speech, laws and physical spaces should be reconfigured around his self-image.
Why is asking for female-only spaces called hateful?

I made four separate scarves that we held as a beautiful banner that read “Save Women’s Sports” with one as “@KnownHeretic” all on black cloth using green fabric paint. The scarves made an iconic image that was captured by news media that carried our message: Save Women’s Sports. This was the message that was silenced on September 6 before we could even express it. Unfurling that scarves in the midst of pink and blue territory is a point of pride. They can’t silence our voices! We refuse to be silenced! They passed out flags, weapons to silence and attack us with. They hoped to keep our message from being seen. But instead they exposed themselves as some of the most dangerous anti-free speech our message has been seen and this story is international. Two of the scarfs were ripped from our hands and stolen from us at the game, but luckily we were able to save “women’s” and “sports.” We literally saved: Women’s Sports. I find that powerful and meaningful.

So the dagger shirt is fine. The one with the chromosomes gets you ejected from the arena. (For the record, all the shirts should be allowed. It’s America. We still have free speech here.)

Jonah Wheeler is one of the only sane Democrats this country has. He has the integrity to stand up for women and girls and our right to our own spaces and sports, even while his own party attacks him for it. He is in a tight race for re-election. Please help if you can.
Hate havin' to ask for cash, but in the final days of this election I’m going to have to spend some. I’ve made up a mailer that’s being printed and sent out right now, and I’m doing some paid advertising in the last days of the campaign. The total for these expenses is $3,800. That’s my fundraising goal. Over the last 24 hours I’ve raised $1772. If you have a few extra bucks to spare, the support will go a long way. Here’s my donate link: jonahwheeler.com/donate I’ll let you all know when I hit the goal. Thank you for your support.

In 12 days, we shall know whether or not the campaign of those attempting to excommunicate me from the politics of my town, for standing on the very principles which I was elected to uphold, succeeds. I was elected, campaigning on a vision of a public government that works for its people. To protect equal rights under the law, and uphold the natural rights of humanity recognized in our constitution. I was elected to participate in the everlasting battle between the public and private sector, on behalf of the public. I was elected to assist in bringing about a legislative body which calmly, and carefully, enacts the legislation it advances in the process of becoming law. Allowing self-ID as a matter of law, or a medical community captured by its corporate boards to carry out the destruction of a child’s endocrine system by attempting to prevent puberty - putting them on a path to life altering ‘surgery’ which would make Mengele giddy in the grave; is not what I was elected to do. Circumventing the basic rights to due process, because some want to quickly satiate the entirely justified fear of gun violence in this country; is not what I was elected to do. Forcing medical intervention onto people, by allowing the unelected agencies of our state to ignore the citizens’ right to know their full rights. Including to informed consent, is not what I was elected to do. Attempting to paint me as an anti-vax, gun toting, bigoted, attention seeking show horse; is an effective election strategy. Though none of it is true. I may be cursed with the look of a Budweiser, but that doesn’t change the fact I’m work horse at heart. Pushing people who have asked the questions I have out of the party, will leave it wholly unsuccessful in the long term. In this election; I’ve watched people gang up on anyone who dares suggest support for me online. I’ve seen them told to leave the party, to shut up, and I am unbelievably tired of such childish behavior displayed by adults. Yes, that’s politics. I know. But I will continue to yearn for higher standards. Having many great elders, with unparalleled wisdom around me; I know that it was not always this bad. I choose to believe that it will not always be. Whatever happens on November 3rd, this election serves as but one of many examples as to why Democrats aren’t systematically crushing the Republican Party right now. Thanks for having me on to discuss some of this, Gracie. Be well.

We are divided now between GOOD and EVIL! On the left is beyond good! Heros! Knowing what they would face for speaking out, they looked fear straight in the eyes and said Bring It! On the right, an Indoctrinated Reprobate wishing death on people for the shirt they wore. 🤦

The wonderful Holly Stewart, president of WDI-USA, came to New England and attended both of our protests against male inmates in women's prisons last week. Here's her excellent speech. Note the line of prison guards standing behind us in support!
"What Americans don’t know about, we won’t work to change." WDI USA president Holly Stewart speaking about the Not Our Crimes Prison Project Database at Friday's protest outside MCI-Framingham in MA, where men are being incarcerated with women.

And here's the speech that brilliant young WDI member @IreneALawrence gave at our Massachusetts protest. We were lucky to have so many strong and wonderful feminist women come to join us!
"Those of us with feminist analysis and systems knowledge must keep forcing those systems to see the worth of the women behind bars." WDI USA volunteer and NC correctional employee Irene Lawrence speaks at the recent MA prison protest.

Rafe Spall said he has ‘never seen production values like it’ while talking about the HARRY POTTER TV series « It’s funny that my dad played Ron’s rat and now I’m playing Arthur Weasley. The other day I was on set and Ron’s rat was there. I took a photograph next to it. If I had social media, I would post it. » (via Deadline)
