The Daily Signal - Born In the Right Body: Launch of the Biological Integrity Initiative

Doctors don’t have enough evidence to know the long-term effects of what happens to someone who takes puberty blockers as a child, the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians says. 



"We know that if you stop puberty with these puberty blockers, you stop a whole sequence of events," Dr. Jill Simons says, adding that there also are "effects on the brain."

"There's effects on the biology that you need that for sexual organ development to become fertile in the future," she says.



But according to Simon, "There's a lot of things we don't know about stopping puberty, and you can't get that back once you stop the puberty blockers."



Given the rise in gender-identity treatments for children, the American College of Pediatricians launched a new initiative Wednesday called the Biological Integrity Initiative to provide not only medical professionals, "but also parents, teachers, policymakers, even teens themselves who are questioning some of these things" with resources and scientific data on the known effects of gender treatments on children, Simons says.



Simons joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what medical professionals do and don’t know about the effects of puberty blockers and hormone treatments on young people and what resources the Biological Integrity Initiative offers. You can learn more about the new initiative at BiologicalIntegrity.org.

Time To Say Goodbye - More labor power—and the Biden of it all

Hello from the negotiating table! 

This week, it’s just us, talking more hot labor summer and a bit about poetry (Tammy recommends the work of Mai Der Vang!). [9:00] After 146 days on strike, the Writers Guild of America, which represents about 11,000 screenwriters, announced on Sunday that they’d reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP studio group. (Forgive the timing of this ep: the WGA released details of the tentative agreement on Tuesday night, after we had recorded; members will still have to vote on the deal.) [23:00] Meanwhile, as one strike (maybe) ends, another expands! Nearly 20,000 United Auto Workers members across 40 states have walked off the job to demand a fairer share of record profits from the Big 3 automakers, seeking to reverse Great Recession-era losses and prove the might of a new and improved UAW. 

In this episode, we ask: 

Why does so much of the public support the WGA strike, a white-collar union whose ranks include very highly paid (less sympathetic?) members? 

How sturdy is the very new, seemingly democratic operation of the UAW under Shawn Fain?

Can this union wave bring back American manufacturing, or are we just buying time before another big offshoring push? 

What’s with EVs and the enviro dimensions of car-making? 

For more, see: 

* Tammy’s dispatch on the WGA strike and animation labor for the New York Review of Books

* An In These Times podcast that touches on UAW’s unionization push within higher ed 

* Previous TTSG convos we reference in this ep, about the WGA, UAW, Labor Notes unionism, deaths of despair, and more:

* Inflaaaation, cool unions, and "We Own This City" (June 2022) 

* SCOTUS trouble, working-class white people, and Taiwan's military (October 2020)

The Intelligence from The Economist - General’s knowledge: a chat with Ukraine’s spy chief

Where the defensive lines really are, the state of Russia’s reserves, battlefield tactics: Kyrylo Budanov is a candid interviewee—but he claims to know nothing about all those drones. Gambling has been illegal in Brazil for decades, but pinched government coffers point to a lifting of the prohibition (10:42). And the passion and the profitability of “BookTok”, the literary end of TikTok (16:51).

CoinDesk Podcast Network - SBF TRIAL: Inside Sam Bankman-Fried’s Trial Defense Episode 2

In the first episode of Coinage’s investigation into SBF’s upcoming defense, we looked at SBF's right-hand woman: Caroline Ellison. She is one of three FTX executives who have pleaded guilty, along with Gary Wang and Nishad Singh. This episode explores SBF’s claim that a fourth conspirator played an even larger role in FTX’s collapse: FTX’s legal partners at major law firms Fenwick & West and Sullivan & Cromwell.  


It’s a lofty claim, and no doubt one that will be heavily scrutinized from all sides in the courtroom, but it’s also not without support – even from 18 state regulators and a bipartisan group of senators, who wrote, “given their long standing legal work for FTX, they may well bear a measure of responsibility for the damage wrecked on the company’s victims.”


Sullivan & Cromwell is now leading FTX’s bankruptcy process and is  set to rake in nearly $800 million in legal fees over the next two years. SBF claims that money is being drained from customers, but what do they think?
