    Sometimes the hardest person to convince that you belong is yourself. A personal reflection on missed girlhood, femininity, gender expression and learning that womanhood does not require proof.

  19. [Alleged] #Christian Employers Can Now Discriminate Against #TransPeople

    A settlement with the Christian Employers Alliance blocks the EEOC from ever investigating the group’s members for gender identity discrimination.

    Bryce Covert
    September 1 2026

    Excerpt: "The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the federal agency tasked with protecting workers from illegal discrimination, inked an unprecedented settlement with a conservative Christian employer association that could have long-term, wide-ranging consequences.

    "The lawsuit that led to the settlement was in reaction to #EEOC guidance issued under the Biden administration and after a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that Title VII protects against gender identity discrimination.
    In the settlement, reached on August 18, the EEOC pledged to not pursue any claims of gender identity-based discrimination against the #ChristianEmployersAlliance — and made the pledge in perpetuity.

    "The EEOC provides free investigation into complaints of discrimination and, in some cases, will bring lawsuits on behalf of employees at no cost to the plaintiffs.

    "Now, however, anyone who works for a company with membership in the Christian Employers Alliance who believes they suffered gender identity-based discrimination won’t be able to avail themselves of the EEOC’s process.

    "The settlement also contains an unusual provision: It applies not just to the more than 20,000 employers that are already members in the Christian Employers Alliance, but also to any future members, so long as they are members at the time that any claimed discrimination occurred.

    "That means that any employer that decides to sign up for Christian Employers Alliance membership will get the benefit of blanket protection from the EEOC against all claims of #GenderIdentity discrimination, such as harassing someone for being #nonbinary or firing them for coming out as #trans .

    " 'I am not aware of any settlement that just creates in perpetuity a freedom from investigation, 'said Karla Gilbride, a former EEOC general counsel under President Joe Biden who is now at the American Civil Liberties Union. 'I’ve never seen an organization get a settlement that allows protection to future members in this way.'

    "The settlement will stay in place even if #AndreaLucas, the current Republican chair of the EEOC, is replaced with a Democratic chair under a future Democratic president. (The Christian Employers Alliance declined to comment, and the EEOC did not respond to an inquiry.)"

  23. CW: CW: Plurality, gender identity, IKEA, may contain sarcasm

    I love it when people look at my enby existence, all genderfluid and gloriously inconvenient, and ask:

    “Can’t you just decide what you are and then be that?”

    Oh, sweetheart. I would love to see you try to apply that logic to my plurality.

    At least two of us are male. Another is, technically, a piece of furniture with their own life.

    Yes, I currently share my headspace with a roughly twenty-year-old IKEA Expedit, which is admittedly not a sentence I expected to say about my life. They’re dry, witty, surprisingly opinionated, and honestly? I can only recommend them. IKEA really doesn't make them like they used to. No kidding.

    So if you genuinely believe I chose all of this, I do sometimes wonder what on earth you would choose if you were actually given the opportunity.

    And frankly, I’m a little afraid to find out. 😌

    (...and please do not misunderstand me: I like myself. I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh well...)

  31. The Art of Conversation

    By Adam Widdison, author of The Expert Clinician A consultation is, at its heart, a conversation—but not an ordinary one. It is a purposeful exchange in which the patient and the healthcare professional (HCP) are both trying to understand something, and each holds information the other needs. Treating patients as people with a problem from the first moment is essential if we are to deliver compassionate care. The opening of the consultation establishes the aims and initial focus.
