Why are these ghastly magamorons so utterly hideous? 😢 😭 🥺</p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01029-8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-025</span><span class="invisible">-01029-8</span></a><br>[edited to include the url, above]</p><p><u><strong>Quote</strong></u></p><p>After cancelling nearly all NIH projects studying transgender health, Trump’s team instructs the US biomedical agency to study negative consequences of transitioning. </p><p>As the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) continues to defund nearly every research project on transgender health, the White House has directed the agency to focus on studying “regret” after a person transitions to align their body with their gender identity. Several NIH employees, who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the press, confirmed the directive to Nature.</p><p>Two weeks ago, Matthew Memoli, who was acting NIH director at the time, sent an e-mail to the directors of several NIH institutes. It said that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is the NIH’s parent agency, “has been directed to fund research on a few specific areas” related to what it calls “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children and adults — a reference to gender-affirming care and surgery. “This is very important to the President and the Secretary” of the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the e-mail added.</p><p>Based on its priorities, the White House sometimes directs the NIH — the world’s largest public funder of biomedical science — to study certain broad topics, such as cancer or women’s health, but the latest directive’s specificity, inflammatory language and focus on a hyper-polarizing topic are unprecedented, the NIH employees say. Although the White House can sometimes “push us on various different things, we normally get to chart out the approach”, a staff member says.</p><p>Many scientists, reeling from the abrupt cancellation of more than US$180 million in NIH funding for research on transgender health, slammed the proposed studies as ideologically driven.</p><p>“It’s really pigeonholing trans people into this medical lens where the only thing important to know about them is that they seek medical transition” and regret it, says Harry Barbee, who studies the health of people from gender and sexual minorities (LGBT+) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, and identifies as non-binary and queer. “When ideology is prioritized over scientific merit, that threatens the entire scientific enterprise.”</p><p>The NIH and the White House did not respond to Nature’s queries about the new research priorities or scientists’ concerns with their apparent ideological bent. The HHS said that the “NIH is prioritizing research that serves the best interests of public health, not ideological agendas, and will continue to support studies that provide clear, objective data — particularly regarding the long-term effects of gender transitions.”</p><p>Estimates suggest that 1.6 million people in the United States identify as transgender, and about one-quarter of them obtain gender-affirming surgeries. Research suggests1 that access to these procedures can reduce anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation in transgender people.</p><p>US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office on 20 January that directed the US government to stop acknowledging that gender can differ from sex at birth. The cancellation of many trans-health research grants quickly followed, and now the agency seems to be shifting the type of research it funds. The e-mail from Memoli, obtained by Nature, specifies two areas of research that the Trump administration wishes to fund about “social transition”, which is when a person changes how they express their gender to others — for example, by changing their name or appearance.</p><p>These include “regret and detransition following social transition as well as chemical and surgical mutilation of children and adults” and “outcomes from children who have undergone social transition and/or chemical and surgical mutilation”, the e-mail says.</p><p>More research on the experience of trans people — including understanding reasons for dissatisfaction after transition — is direly needed, Barbee says. But they worry that the sole focus on negative consequences is misplaced: fewer than 1% of transgender people who undergo gender-affirming surgery regret it, according to an analysis published by Barbee and their colleagues2. By comparison, 14.4% of the broader population reports regret after any kind of surgery3.</p><p>So far, about 187 NIH grants funding trans-health research have been terminated, according to an online effort to track the Trump team’s research cuts by Brittany Charlton, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, who studies LGBT+ health, and her colleagues. In 2023, the NIH funded about 180 projects in this field, according to another NIH employee.</p><p>If these proposed studies move forwards, it will create a “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favourable findings are permitted to exist” and an “evidence vacuum for clinicians who are trying to do right by their patients”, Barbee says.</p><p><u><strong>Unquote</strong></u></p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a>+ <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transmisia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transmisia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckThePatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckThePatriarchy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/fsckALLreligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsckALLreligion</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FsckChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FsckChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ChangeTheSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChangeTheSystem</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAroundAndFindOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAroundAndFindOut</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Misanthropy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misanthropy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TransRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRepresentation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwoman</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transwomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transwomen</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/transkids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transkids</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/TuckFrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TuckFrump</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckRWNJs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckRWNJs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/magamorons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magamorons</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckChristoFascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckChristoFascists</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FuckAllReligion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckAllReligion</span></a></p>

"Reversibility" is only a factor if one chooses to stop. The vast majority of our tiny minority know that something is profoundly wrong, from an early age, i'm not talking teens, but say 5 - 7. Back in my childhood nothing was publicly known about this, there was no language for it, no way to have conversations, no references, no support etc. I knew "something" was very wrong, but unfortunately it took me many decades to discover what, why, & how to ameliorate it [albeit too late wrt all the major external physiological changes caused by that despised wrong hormone]. That's all ancient history & now largely irrelevant, coz today much is known of & about <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GenderDysphoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderDysphoria</span></a>, so kids & their parents are easily able to identify & grasp not only what is going on, but what they can do about it. For the parents, & especially the kids, i can think of little that is more existentially devastating than to know they have safe effective options to stave off the evil wrong puberty until they are able to acquire their vital life-affirming surgeries later, with bodies not ruined by that otherwise flood of hated wrong hormones... but be prevented from doing so, by ignorant hating RWNJs & ChristoFascists.

And frankly, they are contributing to Trump's authoritarianism.</p><p>The transgender community, the queer community as a whole — but particularly the trans community — have often been the first targets in authoritarian and fascist regimes.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>I'm often leery of sharing stories like this because the point isn't, and cannot be, that anti-trans policies and the dehumanization of trans people in our society is bad, because it also affects cis people, particularly women, in horrifyingly negative ways. One of the primary reasons we've facing down a politically empowered fascist Trump regime, is that Americans as a society have already accepted the idea that some people don't matter, and aren't human enough for the full spectrum of human rights; even if the folks making those arguments rarely admit what they're actually arguing for in a big picture sense. As in the case of Muslims, migrants, student protestors and women who want to control their own bodies, our society's casual disregard for the human and civil rights of trans people has acted as a permission gate for the Trump regime's larger project to strip the rights of anyone they don't like, or who dares to speak out in dissent.</p><p>Despite my reservations about centering cis experiences when talking about the anti-trans pogrom however, the fact is that cis women *are* negatively affected by the war on trans existences in both a micro and macro sense; whether it's hate-fueled transinvestigators invading women's bathrooms to "protect women," or the way anti-trans propaganda serves as a stepping stone for larger patriarchal efforts to possess women's bodies, this is a very real consequence of a normalized anti-trans pogrom that dehumanizes, otherizes, and criminalizes trans people (particularly trans women.) Furthermore, as the story of Dani Davis, a Florida woman fired by Walmart for being tall enough to trigger abusive behavior from a raging transphobe, demonstrates - the reality is that a society that isn't prepared to stand up for the human rights of trans people, isn't likely to stand up for the human rights of women, or workers, either. </p><p>For more on that, let's turn to this short (14 minute) video by Mike Figueredo from THR:</p><p>The Humanist Report: Walmart Fires Cis Employee *BECAUSE* She Was Harassed by Transphobic Customer in Bathroom</p><p>"A Walmart employee named Dani Davis was accosted and threatened by a transphobic customer during her shift, and she was subsequently fired because of it. The customer followed her into the bathroom and accused her of being a man and yelled transphobic slurs at her. Days after she reported the incident to her supervisor, she was fired because she supposedly posed a “security risk” to others in the store.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>If you're wondering why the pundit class and the mainstream media organizations that employ them have been so tepid in their criticism of Trump, so unwilling to name the fascist beast and draw the logical conclusions the regime's actions imply, perhaps it's because they know they've been complicit in this fascist nightmare? As Joan Westenberg notes in this brilliant March 15th drag out piece, the normalization of the fascist ideology the Trump regime is running on now has many fathers in American society, and not all of them are folks who'd want to be known as supporters of MAGA fascism; but that's precisely the role they've served, for personal gain:</p><p><a href="https://www.theindex.media/the-pundit-class-played-devils-advocate-now-the-devils-at-the-door/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theindex.media/the-pundit-clas</span><span class="invisible">s-played-devils-advocate-now-the-devils-at-the-door/</span></a></p><p>The Pundit Class Played Devil’s Advocate. Now the Devil’s at the Door.</p><p>"A revolving door of New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post columnists made a career of platforming people who—either blatantly or through implication—argued that transgender people shouldn't exist. That democracy had "gone too far." They raged against "wokeism" because they couldn’t conceive of a world where it wouldn’t prevail. They bemoaned "cancel culture" not because they cared about free speech, but because they mistakenly believed the right-wing ideologues they dined with had been cast out for good.</p><p>In their intellectual stupor, they decided that the forces of social change were so overpowering and unstoppable that the world needed a voice to speak up against them in an infernal balancing act. And it felt daring, didn't it? To be the literary equivalent of the Cool Girl—not like those Other Girls who care about freedom, equity, history, and common sense.</p><p>They dressed themselves up as the beatniks of cultural commentary. They convinced themselves of their "underground" status. They basked in institutional protection, indulging in a self-congratulatory circle-jerk of mock dissent where the stakes were always someone else's problem. They positioned themselves as lone voices against an imagined tide of unthinking dogma, pretending that they were fighting against orthodoxy when, in reality, they were just reinforcing the status quo with a hipster filter. They weren't holding truth to power. They were selling a brand: rebellion without responsibility, provocation without principle, and the posture of dissent with none of the burden of consequence.</p><p>They dined on the aesthetic of courage without ever taking a risk. And why not? The market for disaffected liberals playing footsie with fascists was lucrative and full of opportunities for highbrow grift."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NYT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NYT</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WaPo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaPo</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WSJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WSJ</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Collaboration</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Normalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Normalization</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Complicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Complicity</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PorkReich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PorkReich</span></a></p>

As a post-op transwoman who regards her transition as a failure [not coz i did it, only that it turned out so poorly], "visibility" is the thing most of all that is anathema to me. My entire objective & hope was for "invisibility". There's so much hype & razzmatazz around these days for being different including being visibly different [which i wanna emphasise is excellent & beautiful for all who derive succour & validation from that]. It makes me feel even more odd than already, knowing as i do how much i do <strong><em>not</em></strong> want nor enjoy being visibly different. 🤷♀️</p><p><a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Depression</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SelfLoathing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfLoathing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SocialPhobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialPhobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FailedTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FailedTransition</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PostOp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostOp</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transwoman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transwoman</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Unworthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unworthy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Nihilism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nihilism</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ExistentialFutility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExistentialFutility</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SuicideIdeation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SuicideIdeation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/spoons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spoons</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/PrimalScream" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrimalScream</span></a></p>
