I agree that banning it legislatively is not ideal. But if you look at a state like Florida, they've just passed 'tort reform' laws making it even more difficult to sue bad practitioners. It's basically impossible now.
They've also made it highly unlikely that any patients will ever submit a complaint to the state medical board, since it's been politicized. Who wants to give a political body access to their personal medical records under these circumstances?
I had to read about “botched surgeries” several times to clarify that you were not talking about your own, even though I *know* you were not talking about yourself, but rather the experience of others that you have knowledge of. The quick reader would not notice that difference.
Maybe she’s just a careless writer when not making ambience-creating allusions, or maybe she really got that part wrong.
Thank you for this droll commentary on the food critic who has clearly self-promoted herself above her intellectual capacity. Not to mention her eagerness not to, in any way, be mistaken for a Republican in her everyday life. I quite enjoyed the suggestion that she was drinking too much. Hilarious take down of her attempt to pass as anti-trans. Reminds me that virtue signaling young Asians must emphasize that they are not guilty of being white adjacent. I'm surprised her hair wasn't died pink. I wonder what outfit she must choose in order not to be identified as a food critic at restaurants. I'm also wondering how the leap from parental rights leads to stopping adults from transitioning. This article was clearly a performative piece of virtual signaling. Nobody would mistake it for any kind of journalism.
P.S. I forgot about the red for Repubs and blue for democrats part, so missed that you were wearing blue for a reason.
"prompted me to hire an attorney to demand SF Chronicle correct the record. SF Chronicle did so with terf rhetoric which invalidated"-------thus, Exulansic, was this an inadequate response, legally speaking, to your demand? it's not surprising to us that media in some locales are politically biased one direction or another. but insulting a group of people whom this medium purports to "support" because they changed their minds about how to handle dysphoria or identity---this isn't support, and it goes beyond ideology. a conservative newspaper--let's say the Arizona Republic--doesn't call people names. even an opinion writer like George F. Will doesn't do that. that's not journalistic ethics. the Chronicle's gone beyond journalism. it's wild-boy teenage laziness and bullying. yes, it's media. but it's not a paper. and what about your legal demand?
I totally agree, the conversion therapy ban should have outraged more people and garnered more backlash from defenders of civil liberties. Adults should have access to such therapies if they want them. Where are the massive lawsuits and challenges?
she blocked me on twitter and i don’t even have any posts there. she literally went thru ur entire follow list i think
Best dry humour, and looking amazing btw!

Hi , coming to visit San Francisco in June. I plan to check out the restaurant. I am morbidity curious to check out the menu at the restaurant. Lol
Off-topic, but your hair looks glorious

Nothing to add other than to say your cut aways continue to delight me, tamperin' in dark sided stuff indeed.

Oh god you make me laugh so much. Your reads of people are scathingly accurate. 👏
Oooooh a story of Suppressive Persons! Lol but the food! The fooooooood.
Good for you for taking them to task about labels! They base 90% of their rhetoric on respecting labels but turn around and weaponize them.
This writer basically wrote a fluff piece to hear herself speak and tile the base. I'm so over identity politics and media!
thank you, will rethink my plans.
that really burns my toast !
