I’ve been a college instructor who has seen dozens of students go through this process. It takes months to get approval from doctors. It’s very involved and not something that is treated trivially at all. Potentially it’s too difficult but it’s definitely not too easy.

I am so sick of this. No one believes that a 13-year-old who says "I'm trans" on Monday should be getting hormones on Tuesday. Trans people, parents, doctors and experts are screaming at journalists to quit fucking up on this issue and they refuse to listen.

In NJ, “progressive” has come to mean “anti-machine politics” which is great but doesn’t describe the ideology of the candidate at all. This means Altman in NJ07 and the DSA candidate running in JC for council will be described in the media with the same term, which is nuts. +
