Genspect, an organization that the New York Times has quoted uncritically, that the Wall Street Journal has pushed, that pretends to be for "ethical treatment of trans kids," is bullying a trans 11 year old who spoke out at a school board meeting.

This is vile and obscene.

They are coming for queer self expression, you’re next.

If you’re silent now, wait till they silence you. We need your help, and voice while you still have it.

Permit me a thread on something I have first-hand knowledge of. My child transitioned when he was 20. This is a good letter Chris links to. What is most disturbing to me about the treatment of trans issues even by the mainstream media is how facile it can be, lacking nuance.

@annehelen I was sleepy the next day. My arm was a little sore. That’s about it.

[Liz Haigney Lynch @editforclarity]

@delany_kate @dancinggrlpress @CF_Foundation Exciting news! Congrats!

[Liz Haigney Lynch @editforclarity]

I am planning to laminate this thread of invaluable life advice as a present for my kids. Or embroider it on a series of pillows.

@kristinrawls I did not know, but she’s on my (growing) would-not-be-surprised-to-learn-that list

This is completely true. The old reporting model that relies upon one night of Decision Desk Drama just doesn’t fit the way voting takes place anymore.

I know I'm right on brand when tweeting this, but @ChrisStirewalt nails the timeline of canvassing ballots here, esp VBM. We have to educate voters. We cannot compromise the security and integrity of mail-in ballots for the sake of having elections called by 8pm. #VBM

@kasie Cohoes, NY. Found that out the hard way.

At the end of the day, a true summary.

One of the surviving kids on CNN: I used to want to be a police officer, but now I want to be a surgeon so I can help people.

@megansmolenyak This should be in a Museum of Bad Takes 🤣

As news coverage of Roe v. Wade continues, it is important to remember that people who are not women do get pregnant and do get abortions.

With that in mind, here are some of our best practices. 🧵

When romances are salted in here and there among general fiction so that you have to scavenger hunt for them … it’s hard not to feel like the store wants the sales but dislikes the optics. And by extension, readers like me.

[Liz Haigney Lynch @editforclarity]

So much this. A few weeks ago on a trip out of town I happened upon a terrific bookstore that literally had a whole genre room (seriously, yay!) but still no romance section.

[Amanda Cinelli Romance Author @AcinelliAuthor]

Booksellers!

A distinct romance section is a huge asset to any bookstore. It is literally the only thing you require in order to entice us away from the likes of Amazon.

It tells us: You are welcome here. We understand your genre. Please browse and spend all your money!

@lizl_genealogy That was *almost* me but I restrained myself

[Liz Haigney Lynch @editforclarity]

@CRoseDahl1 Gorgeous, especially that blurb 😍

@NaraMovak I got my second Moderna booster last week — no big reaction or side effects that I could see

[Liz Haigney Lynch @editforclarity]

@megansmolenyak That’s some set of changes :) And there can be such a sense of dislocation and disbelief when surname changes and variants crop up. People get quite shocked to hear that often, the surname isn’t the most reliable marker.

[Liz Haigney Lynch @editforclarity]

@NaraMovak I watched this in a hotel restaurant near The San Francisco airport and was in danger of making a spectacle of myself 😀
