  1. CW: Victory for trans folks in Georgia USA court

    A USA federal judge ruled that Georgia state's trans care bans are illegal.

    The judge stated that there was strong scientific evidence of trans people benefiting from gender-affirming care.

    The judge also said the law appears to discriminate based on sex in an excessively broad manner. The state is barring people who are assigned female at birth (afab) from accessing testosterone, and barring people who are assigned male at birth (amab) from accessing estogen.

    The judge said this likely infringes on trans people's rights under the Fourteenth Amendment of the USA constitution.

  2. I’ve just returned to Seattle from a quick round trip to South #GeorgiaUS for a funeral (and post-funeral community potluck for those who know #southern funerals). Red-eye Sat night. Seven hours in a car; four with extended family on Sunday. Flight back Monday.

    This is my second family funeral this year. I’m an only but grew up with a circle of cousins-as-quasi-siblings. I’m an ‘orphan’ in my seventh decade, so these will probably come faster. A life stage.
