Florida political leaders misrepresented research before ban on gender-affirming care

Behind Florida’s decision to block clinical services for transgender adolescents is a talking point — repeated by the state’s governor and top medical authorities — that most cases of gender incongruence fade over time. The Florida Board of Medicine voted Nov. 4 to approve a rule that barred physicians from performing surgical procedures on minors to alter “primary or secondary sexual characteristics” and from prescribing them medication to suppress puberty and hormones. The rule included an exception for patients who were already receiving those treatments. Two days later, Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, said gender-affirming care is “an example of ideology overtaking the practice of medicine,” touting that he worked with the board to take a stand against it. “Over 80% of the

There’s nothing feminist about opposing trans rights – they are part of the same fight

Trans people simply wish to be able to express themselves without being defined by body parts (Picture: Alain Pitton/NurPhoto via Getty Images)Last week, the Women’s Equality Party (WEP) passed a motion at their conference supporting trans people’s ‘right to self-determine their gender’ – and it was a truly heartening moment. After watching many anti-trans activists attempting to claim there’s a conflict between trans rights and women’s rights, it was great step to see such a prominent feminist group show they stand with trans people. Other campaigning organisations now need to follow suit. Because, my lived experience has shown me that trans rights do not infringe upon women’s rights, despite the relentless fear-led narrative that dominates parts of the media. It’s obvious

It all revolves around three parking spaces outside their homes in Harefield, west London. Two are owned by Ivan Soares, 53, while a third sandwiched in the middle is owned by his neighbour Manish Kothari, 41. Mr Kothari, 41, and his relatives have accused Mr Soares, 53, of ‘selfish parking’, claiming cars are deliberately left inches from theirs. But Mr Soares and his wife have accused their neighbours of trespassing on their own parking space.

Their relationships to each other? “Unknown,” per the latest police report. Weeks after the ghastly discovery of the frozen remains of two male and two female infants in a South Boston condominium, the identities of the babies and information about how they ended up in a freezer remain out of reach. Police reports are sparse and search warrants remain under seal as rumors fly. Maureen Dahill, a longtime South Boston resident who runs the Caught in Southie neighborhood publication, told the Herald this case continues to be the “talk of the town,” particularly because official word has been so scant. “There is a lot of speculation and theories circulating in

Wildlife district: City Hall aims to save the big cats in LA’s metropolis

Los Angeles and Mumbai are the only two metropolises in the world where big cats — mountain lions and leopards respectively — live in dense urban areas. That co-existence, scientists say, puts wildlife at risk. Only this year, four mountain lions have been struck and killed by cars in a study underway by the National Park Service in and around the Santa Monica Mountains north of Los Angeles. A 2016 study by UCLA and the National Park Service found that the mountain lion population in the Santa Monica Mountains faces a steep decline and possible extinction in the near future. “We don’t have regulations in effect that ensure that woodlands aren’t destroyed,” said Jamie Hall, a land-use attorney and vice president of the Bel Air-Beverly Crest Neighborhood Council, a neighborhood that would be

SF Giants reportedly lose out on Aaron Judge to Yankees: Where do they turn now?

The Giants identified Aaron Judge as their top free-agent target, and he gave them enough consideration to visit for a long set of in-person meetings, but like past high-profile pursuits, it appears San Francisco has finished runners-up. According to reports Wednesday morning, Judge has decided to re-sign with the New York Yankees for nine years and $360 million. The figure matched the contract reportedly offered by the Giants. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi told reporters at the GM meetings that, “from a financial standpoint, there’s nobody that would be out of our capability to meet what we expect the contract demands will be.” Throughout the winter meetings this week, the Giants have expressed optimism at their chances of prying him away from New York.

Analysis: How Mitch Haniger fits into SF Giants’ plans

Usanewsposts

December 7, 20220

SAN DIEGO — In their first major move of the offseason, the Giants didn’t sign the guy everyone wanted, but they did improve their roster by adding a respected veteran with local ties who will bring a much-needed everyday presence to their lineup. Mitch Haniger, at $43.5 million over three years, is a good first move. But it can’t — and, by all accounts, won’t — be the Giants’ last. As the world waits for Aaron Judge’s decision, the Giants are still involved in the market for starting and relief pitching, one more outfielder and, perhaps, one of the three remaining shortstops on the board. How does Haniger, the soon-to-be 32 alumnus of Archbishop Mitty (San Jose), fit into their plans?

John Waters Shares His 10 Favorite Films of 2022, ‘Peter Von Kant’ Tops List

December 7, 20220

John Waters officially unveiled his semi-annual list of top 10 films of the year, filled mostly with sex-laden dramas and yes, one Polish existential donkey movie. Waters awarded the top honor of 2022 to François Ozon’s “Peter Von Kant,” calling the Rainer Werner Fassbinder-inspired feature “by far the best movie of the year” in a list shared with Artforum. “Fassbinder’s classic lesbian melodrama is appropriated and remade as a gay Frenchman’s love letter to the original version,” Waters wrote. “Hilariously stilted, often overwrought, but always highly entertaining, this cock-eyed tribute will make you swoon when Hanna Schygulla finally makes an appearance and Isabelle Adjani soon follows. My God, it’s just plain Douglas Sirk perfect.” Waters’ second pick, “EO” by Jerzy Skolimowski, is an
