As much as I'd love to see this go through now, I doubt it'll happen at this early stage of the sanity reclamation.

I personally think that taking down the butchers who rake in huge profits is where the biggest collapse of the cult is going to be seen.
Once the "medical experts" have been discredited and banned from continuing their snake oil promotions, taking the parents down should be a relatively simple matter.

Having said that, the random bills popping up all over the place does have the bonus of keeping the TRAs running around in circles which is hugely entertaining.

It's not easy. Banning the butchery is not enough. That will drive it underground or generate a self-righteous resistance movement that still believes they hold the moral high ground.

What we need to end this is whistleblowers and sunlight.

Trump's got some momentum, he needs to follow through with a well funded Truth Commission, with the power to follow the money, connect the data, and publish some scientificaly watertight systematic reviews like Cass did.
 
He's getting ahead of himself by a long shot. Before they even consider anything like this they need to stop the opposite from happening:


The parents told Reduxx that their issues with the state agency started when officials received a call in August 2023 that Jennifer, whose name was changed for publication at their request, expressed suicidal thoughts at school.

A CFS caseworker came to speak with the teen and inspect the house where Jennifer claimed she drank toilet bowl cleaner and took painkillers in an attempt to take her own life, the outlet reported.

The teen reportedly showed no related symptoms, and a test at the hospital showed she didn’t consume any toxins.

But her hospital stay stretched to multiple days, in which staff there noted that Jennifer identified as male and wanted to be called Leo. The parents said they quickly but unsuccessfully objected.

“We were very clear to the emergency room staff as well as [CFS] that this goes against our values, morals and our religious beliefs,” Krista Kolstad recalled to Reduxx, accusing the hospital of consistently undermining her and her husband’s authority.

Jennifer was eventually moved to a specialized residential care facility in Wyoming despite her parents’ concerns. Kolstad told Reduxx she and Todd were worried about Jennifer being cared for in the state, where minors can receive gender-affirming care without parental consent.

“They showed up at our home to serve us with papers to take Jennifer out of our care,” Kolstad alleged. “They told me the reason was that we were ‘unable or refusing to provide medical care.’ That’s just not true.”

Jennifer returned in September to a Montana youth facility, where she remains. Earlier this month, a court put the teen in the custody of CFS, Reduxx reported.

No more troons in the women's dormitory in the state of Utah.

"The new bill, HB269, tries to balance anti-discrimination protections with privacy concerns over restrooms, locker rooms and housing — like the incident at USU.

Specifically, the bill mandates that individuals stay in rooms that correspond with their sex designation, regardless of their gender identity or even the sex their birth certificate indicates (in the case of birth certificate changes).

Individuals may still opt into gender-neutral housing under HB269.

The bill has incited controversy in and outside of the Capitol chambers.

On Thursday, several members of the public advocated for and against the bill in front of a committee of House members. Emotions ran high, with speakers on both sides shedding tears and raising voices."

All but two members of the House Business, Labor and Commerce Committee voted in favor of the bill, with Rep. Ashlee Matthews, D-West Jordan, and Rep. Hoang Nguyen, D-Salt Lake City, voting against.

DALLAS (AP) — Federal prosecutors on Friday dropped the case against a Texas doctor who called himself a whistleblower on transgender care for minors and was accused of illegally obtaining private information on patients who weren’t under his care.

The dismissal of the case against Dr. Eithan Haim in U.S. district court in Houston comes as the Trump administration in its first week has already issued executive orders rolling back transgender rights.

Prosecutors had said that Haim, a 34-year-old surgeon, took the information and shared it with a conservative activist with “intent to cause malicious harm” to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, one of the nation’s largest pediatric hospitals.

Haim pleaded not guilty in June to four counts of wrongfully obtaining individually identifiable health information, saying outside the courthouse that he had “done nothing wrong.”

WASHINGTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The Trump administration's U.S. Education Department said on Friday it dismissed 11 complaints related to book bans by local school districts that the department received during the Biden administration.

Free speech advocacy group PEN America notes that books are "under profound attack, opens new tab" in the U.S., adding it counted over 10,000 book bans in public schools in the 2023-24 school year. In recent years, several laws passed in Republican-controlled states have sought to restrict books.

Over in Scotland, a nurse is up against her employer for objecting to a transwoman doctor in the changing room, and boy the employer is doing all it can to protect the T&H woman.

Sandie Peggie is alleged to have been transphobic to Dr Beth Upton in the changing room ie. telling him he was a man and to get out. She was then suspended and then placed under a disciplinary investigation for a year. She’s responded by taking it to the employment tribunal, arguing the hospital and Dr Upton subjected her to sexual harassment and discrimination by forcing her and other female colleagues to share a changing room with a man identifying as a woman.

First, the hospital tried to get the whole thing heard in private. That application failed. It then tried to suppress Dr Upton’s name because he is not open about being trans (apparently the patients misgender him to his face, but yeah, super stealth). That failed too. Its latest L is trying to force Nurse Peggie and her lawyers to refer to Dr Upton as a woman, and once again getting felted.

This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.


Sex Matters is intervening and has some background here.

A nurse can refer to a transgender doctor she claims she was forced to change in front of at work as a man, after a legal victory.

Employment judge Sandy Kemp rejected an NHS request to impose an order on Sandie Peggie, which would have prevented her from using male pronouns or terms to refer to Beth Upton, a doctor who identifies as a transgender woman.

Despite NHS Fife insisting that both the “sex and gender” of Dr Upton is female and that allowing “misgendering” would amount to unlawful harassment, the judge said forcing Ms Peggie and her lawyers to use terms they consider “inaccurate” would be unfair.

Ms Peggie believes that Dr Upton is male and therefore should not have been in female changing rooms in Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, where she says she encountered her on three occasions.

She is taking action against both NHS Fife and Dr Upton personally in a case which could have wider implications for how easily trans women can access female single-sex spaces.
