Brynn Tannehill has written about some new myths about transgender people making the rounds. They are especially aimed at harming trans kids, so don't be surprised to find that you encounter them from your right.
Brynn supplies the myths, but I will provide my own reaction.
Myth #1: Gender dysphoria can be cured by an anti-psychotic.
The following is the memo released by the White House concerning the federal government hiring freeze. I can say that hundreds of high level officials in every federal government agency are spending most of this week discussing and planning for this freeze, which is expected to last at least 90 days followed by detailed guidance and direction to reduce the size of the federal government (except the military because we must fight wars and kill people).

It's good to see you. Come on in, leave your shoes in the hallway, we've got fire on the stove preparing lunch for later. In the meantime, browse the bookshelves and plunk down on the sofa with one, or pick out some tunes from the music library or come in to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Our special blend of tea is steeping and will be right up.
Donald Trump, hereafter to be referred to by a medical acronym DT ( = delirium tremens, a severe alcohol-withdrawal syndrome with occasional lethality) has already had his first scandals--even before he was in office. No, not crude language but his choices for a number of cabinet positions. The most obviously terrible is Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary. The funder of "Conversion Therapy" groups.

The latest rebellion is in France.
