Tough, long read:
WaPo: A trans woman joined a sorority. Then her new sisters turned on her. | non-paywall link
The sisters alleged that the sororityâs vote on Artemis â using an online form that required their email addresses â was unusual and made them feel that if they didnât approve Artemis, the sorority would âpublicly label them bigots.â
huh, they seem super worried about being public bigots

Ken Paxton on a rampage:
Seattle Childrenâs sues Texas AG over request for gender care records
Childrenâs filed the suit after the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton served the hospital with a civil investigative demand in late November, according to to the complaint. The request sought information about patients from Texas who had received gender-affirming care services from Childrenâs, including details related to diagnoses, medications prescribed, laboratory testing and other treatment protocols.
Paxtonâs office also asked for the number of Texas children treated at the hospital and for guidance on how to âweanâ a child off gender care.

As Hollywood descends on the state for Sundance:
The party of personal freedom!
Kid was beaten at school, who reportedly did not call an ambulance for them, was taken to the hospital by their grandmother and released that night, then taken back to the hospital the next day and died. Lots of missing details here but the second article makes the connection that this is a school district Chaya Raichik (Libs of Tik Tok) targeted with anti-LBGTQ stuff in 2022, and the same state that appointed Raichik to their state library committee earlier this year to help ban books.

Awful situation. Ryan Walterâs and Chaya are the worst of the worst. I canât imagine what itâs like to spew that kind of hateful rhetoric and then clutch pearls when people call you a murderer when a child is killed.
The story wasnât covered much by local mainstream news until today. This has probably the best information, including why the family misgendered them in their obit.

Came in to post that, seems just savage, kid got their face smashed against a paper towel dispenser, sounds like a severe brain injury.
cops released a statement that weasel-wordedly implied the death was not connected to the fight
their mother is not going along with that
The statement could end up being correct, insofar as it was âdid not die as a result of traumaâ and you could picture scenarios where thatâs technically correct (like a suicide attempt) and itâs still 100% because this kid was bullied, had the shit kicked out of them at school, and was then suspended by the school.
(random note: iirc from other stories, Sue is their grandmother & legal custodian, not mother as this story says)
ehhh iâd be real careful about a lot of those statements saying why someone committed suicide, especially when their guardian isnât a parent.

The scandal these fuckwads are alleging here is simply that a trans employee exists at Space Camp. Thatâs it!

Sadly, thereâs nothing really surprising in that story except this:
Space Camp hosts about 26,000 participants each year.
I donât know if this is all at once, or maybe thereâs a new space camp every week, but either way thatâs a whole lot of space campers.

Iâve been waiting on a study like this for years, and finally some people got around to it.

Doctor accused of illegally obtaining health information of Texas Childrenâs Hospital patients
Letâs see how that works out for him!
Are the rules/laws he broke state or federal? Because if itâs the former I think itâll work out fine for him.
