Medical: Gender incongruence / dysphoria & best interests of the child.

1 week ago | openlegalblogarchive.org | Bill Madden

Re: Devin [2025] FedCFamC1F 211 (Link to AUSTLII). This decision is perhaps of interest as a contrast to earlier decisions on similar issues. The proceedings concerned Devin, a biologically male child, born in 2013. Whether the child’s biological (or, as the mother and her experts would say, assigned) sex, accords with the child’s gender or gender identity is at the heart of this case.

What's up with these contract extensions for some of MLB's top young stars?

2 weeks ago | gazettextra.com | Bill Madden

NEW YORK - As the clubs all broke from the starting gates this season, there was an interesting development that no one can quite put a finger on, other than independent coincidence: No less than a half dozen of baseball's brightest young stars all signed lucrative multi-year contract extensions that will take each of them well beyond their prospective first years of free agency. What makes this interesting is that nobody saw most of these coming.

What is it going to take CBS to get rid of this embarrassment?

I can't believe my eyes. Lesley Stahl had the audacity to ask a Jewish hostage, who was tortured and starved by Hamas, if Hamas really meant to starve him or if they just didn't have enough food. Is this a joke? How the hell can she even ask him that? https://t.co/utofSTtbk8
