As we mentioned in the news, the Supreme Court upheld parents’ right to keep their child away from a school lesson which discusses a book with a LGBTQ+ character. This comes on the heals of another decision which takes away from parents the right to choose to allow their child to have gender-affirming medical care, and gives that decision to a bunch of politicians with no medical experience. For taking away parents’ rights when it pleases a political agenda, the conservative majority of the Supreme Court gets a TWIT. (And, if they argue that their decision on gender-affirming care was not about parents rights, then they are arguing that they should get a pass for limiting the scope of their case.) This story comes from Them.
Georgia Public Broadcasting reports that a librarian in Pierce County was fired for including a book with a transgender character in a display of suggested summer reading. For overreacting to the inclusion of a book with a transgender character, the Pierce County Public Library gets a TWIT.
As we mentioned in the news, the National Park Service has ordered the removal of transgender pride flags from the Stonewall National Monument, which they maintain, as a part of keeping with President Trump’s order to only recognize two genders. For removing a symbol of the very people who made Stonewall National Monument a part of history, the National Park Service and the Trump Administration share a TWIT. CBS News has this story.
J.K. Rowling suggested that women enforce the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling that “women-only spaces” should be reserved for “biological women” and not include transgender women by sharing photographs of transgender women in public restrooms online. This idea has received a good deal of pushback, as PinkNews reports. For suggesting that women violate the privacy of restrooms by publishing these photographs, and for recommending taking law enforcement into one’s own hands, J.K. Rowling gets a TWIT.
An opinion piece by Douglas Murray in the New York Post is entitled “Standing up to bullying, unscientific transgender activist mob.” The people pushing an anti-transgender point of view are also attempting to use the law to bully the public, and are also activists forming a mob. As for “unscientific,” there is no real science behind many of the anti-transgender recommendations. Specifically, the idea of transgender regret is found to be much smaller than the anti-transgender activists suggest. For failing to notice science that argues against his own anti-transgender convictions, and for projection with the loaded terms “bullying” and “activist mob,” Douglas Murray gets a TWIT.
