…s the potential risks and benefits. If these members are not attempting to transition to the opposite gender and are worthy, they may receive Church callings, temple recommends, and temple ordinances. Anyone who’s at all familiar with transgender care or the transgender community would know that this doesn’t make any sense. People take hormones in order to alter their bodies to be more like the gender/sex they identify with. Hormone replacement th…

The Same Toxic Christian Right Theology Supports Both the Online Bullying I Experienced and the Cruel Anti-Trans Policy in TX — And it’s Not Remotely Fringe

By Chrissy Stroop

…tor. An angry man who clearly has issues, Wolfe has charmingly linked the “transgender movement” to “normalizing pedophilia” and called trans rights activism, along with abortion, “the rotten fruit of unfettered liberalism as a governing political ideology.” On February 23, quote-tweeting the original alt-right post featuring a pre-transition picture, Wolfe stated, “Du Mez had a radical LGBT and transgender activist endorse the book on the front c…

Atheist Richard Dawkins Swings to Anti-Trans Right in Grasp at Broader Intellectual Relevance

By Heron Greenesmith

…d as well, led by Alison Gill, Vice President for Legal and Policy, who is trans. “Trans people are under constant attack across our country. Implying that our identities are somehow fraudulent and questioning whether we even exist dehumanizes us and helps justify this violence.” These aren’t Dawkins’ first, or even his tenth or hundredth, instances of hiding behind “intellectual rigor” to mimic right-wing rhetoric. In 2015, Harper’s editor Sophie…

By Lewis Wallace

…ike a parking lot. It might look to Lourdes to improve its website: on the official site for the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, visitor FAQs tell you how to get to Lourdes, how to get your hands on some holy water from the grotto, and how to leave an ex-voto offering (look elsewhere for hotel bookings—there are dozens of hotels in Lourdes, all advertising their proximity in meters and yards to the grotto). If you can’t travel, stay on the websi…

7 Problems with Trump’s Hastily-Tweeted Trans Military Ban

By Sunnivie Brydum

…of that landmark announcement (and for some time before the policy became official), transgender soldiers, airmen, sailors, and Marines began coming out to their commands, and, in some instances, talking about their identity in the media. Those individuals, some of whom are retired, are still readily available for comment. In fact, at least two with whom I’ve worked in the past invited our draft-dodging president to sit down with them and talk ab…

Evangelical Tells Beck He’s “Off The Reservation”

By Julie Ingersoll

…Mormonism. They even read and ridiculed comments from people on Beck’s website, who indicated that they were Mormon. Decker said Beck has been “using terminology that Mormons manipulate. . . terms that have double meanings . . . and that now he’s getting into things right out of the Book of Mormonism itself.” Howse had been a big Beck (and David Barton) supporter—and Howse continues to believe that “Christians” should work with Beck when they agr…

Bans on Gender Affirming Care for Youth Reveal Purity Culture Is More Than Just an Evangelical Problem

By M. Cooper Minister

…d to be out of control. This framework draws attention to the way in which trans people are perceived as contaminants that threaten social norms. Trans people threaten the gender binary and the institutions that depend on it, including medical ones.

As people who “pollute” the gender binary, in part by revealing it as a construct, trans peop…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…pter of Columbia University Law School. The Federalist Society never takes official positions on matters of jurisprudence and legal reasoning. It never participates in court proceedings, submits no amicus briefs and never serves as legal counsel. Which leads to the insistent claims of legal conservatives that the organization and its originalist methods are politically and substantively neutral. Of course, there’s more than a little bait-and-switc…

…that laid out suggested guidelines for schools that want to support their trans students. It specified that trans students, like cis students, should be allowed to use the facilities and play on the sports teams that correspond with their gender identity. Although the Departments of Education and Justice indicated in that letter that they could withhold federal funds from schools that declined to implement the guidelines, the Obama Administration…

By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

The bill, which was drafted in response to 17-year-old trans student Mack Beggs’ victory in a girl’s wrestling tournament (because the young man, by virtue of being trans, is barred from competing with his male peers), passed the Senate on Wednesday….
