click.actionnetwork.orgHHS Take Down Anti-Trans Report The Department of Health and Human Services has released a 400-page document attacking gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth. This so-called “Review of Evidence and Best Practices” is neither scientific nor evidence-based, it’s a political weapon disguised as policy. The administration is using HHS to give cover to far-right ideology aimed at dismantling the basic rights and dignity of trans people in America. Every major medical association in the U.S., from the American Academy of Pediatrics to the Endocrine Society, supports affirming care for trans youth. That includes access to puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and social support. But this new HHS report calls that lifesaving care “misguided” and insinuates that doctors are failing their duty by providing it. That’s a lie. And it’s dangerous. To make matters worse, the authors of this report are being kept secret. HHS claims that withholding the names somehow protects the “integrity” of a future peer review process, but the report hasn’t been peer reviewed at all. That means no one, including doctors, researchers, or the media, can verify who wrote it, what sources they used, or whether any of it holds up under scrutiny. That’s not how public health policy is supposed to work. It’s how political disinformation is laundered. This document was published without transparency, oversight, or accountability. It's unethical and it’s a direct threat to the health and well-being of trans kids nationwide. We are calling on HHS to take this report down immediately. And if they refuse, they must at least release the names of the authors and subject the document to real scientific review. Click ‘START WRITING’ to sign and send your letter to HHS. Demand they take down this anti-trans attack disguised as “best practices” now.

The first two #southernrightwhales of the season were spotted swimming past one of Australia's oldest towns, but there are concerns for the species.

Last year, a mother stayed in the #Portland area for six weeks, finding sanctuary in the harbour after she give birth.

Locals were delighted by their presence in the area. #Southern #Right #Wales #auspol

Absolute thrilling article! Truly harrowing to think how much of our data is just out there. Privacy should be a right, not a luxury.

"It’s not that I thought their life was weird. I could relate, in a world of nearly inescapable surveillance, to the urge to disappear. But the ongoing, escalating effort required felt Sisyphean to me."
