Atlantic Writer Tells Her Fellow Liberals: You're Living in an Anti-Scientific Media Bubble Impervious to Fact, Everything You "Know" About "Trans Affirming Medical Care" is a Lie
A writer at The Atlantic spills the beans and informs magazine's braindead Affluent Winebox Female Liberal audience that the "science" of transgenderism is entirely fictitious.
Oof. Karen's going to open and finish three whole wine boxes tonight.The Liberal Misinformation Bubble About Youth Gender Medicine How the left ended up disbelieving the science Allow children to transition, or they will kill themselves. For more than a decade, this has been the strongest argument in favor of youth gender medicine--a scenario so awful that it stifled any doubts or questions about puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. "We often ask parents, 'Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter?'" Johanna Olson-Kennedy of Children's Hospital Los Angeles once explained to ABC News. Variations on the phrase crop up in innumerable media articles and public statements by influencers, activists, and LGBTQ groups. The same idea--that the choice is transition or death--appeared in the arguments made by Elizabeth Prelogar, the Biden administration's solicitor general, before the Supreme Court last year.Meanwhile: During the fake "Pride Month" of June, our publicly-funded libraries become key communications and command nodes for woke gay zealots, writes
Tennessee's law prohibiting the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat minors with gender dysphoria would, she said, "increase the risk of suicide." But there is a huge problem with this emotive formulation: It isn't true. When Justice Samuel Alito challenged the ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio on such claims during oral arguments, Strangio made a startling admission. [Sh]e conceded that there is no evidence to support the idea that medical transition reduces adolescent suicide rates. At first, Strangio dodged the question, saying that research shows that blockers and hormones reduce "depression, anxiety, and suicidality"--that is, suicidal thoughts. (Even that is debatable, according to reviews of the research literature.) But when Alito referenced a systematic review conducted for the Cass report in England, Strangio conceded the point. "There is no evidence in some--in the studies that this treatment reduces completed suicide," [sh]e said. "And the reason for that is completed suicide, thankfully and admittedly, is rare, and we're talking about a very small population of individuals with studies that don't necessarily have completed suicides within them." Here was the trans-rights movement's greatest legal brain, speaking in front of the nation's highest court. And what [sh]e was saying was that the strongest argument for a hotly debated treatment was, in fact, not supported by the evidence. Even then, [her] admission did not register with the liberal justices. When the court voted 6--3 to uphold the Tennessee law, Sonia Sotomayor claimed in her dissent that "access to care can be a question of life or death." If she meant any kind of therapeutic support, that might be defensible. But claiming that this is true of medical transition specifically--the type of care being debated in the Skrmetti case--is not supported by the current research. Advocates of the open-science movement often talk about "zombie facts"--popular sound bites that persist in public debate, even when they have been repeatedly discredited. Many common political claims made in defense of puberty blockers and hormones for gender-dysphoric minors meet this definition. These zombie facts have been flatly contradicted not just by conservatives but also by prominent advocates and practitioners of the treatment--at least when they're speaking candidly. Many liberals are unaware of this, however, because they are stuck in media bubbles in which well-meaning commentators make confident assertions for youth gender medicine--claims from which its elite advocates have long since retreated. Perhaps the existence of this bubble shouldn't be surprising. Many of the most fervent advocates of youth transition are also on record disparaging the idea that it should be debated at all. Strangio--who works for the country's best-known free-speech organization--once tweeted that [she] would like to scuttle Abigail Shrier's book Irreversible Damage, a skeptical treatment of youth gender medicine. Strangio declared, "Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on." Marci Bowers, the former head of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the most prominent organization for gender-medicine providers, has likened skepticism of child gender medicine to Holocaust denial. "There are not two sides to this issue," she once said, according to a recent episode of The Protocol, a New York Times podcast. Boasting about your unwillingness to listen to your opponents probably plays well in some crowds. But it left Strangio badly exposed in front of the Supreme Court, where it became clear that the conservative justices had read the most convincing critiques of hormones and blockers--and had some questions as a result. Trans-rights activists like to accuse skeptics of youth gender medicine--and publications that dare to report their views--of fomenting a "moral panic." But the movement has spent the past decade telling gender-nonconforming children that anyone who tries to restrict access to puberty blockers and hormones is, effectively, trying to kill them. This was false, as Strangio's answer tacitly conceded. It was also irresponsible. After England restricted the use of puberty blockers in 2020, the government asked an expert psychologist, Louis Appleby, to investigate whether the suicide rate for patients at the country's youth gender clinic rose dramatically as a result. It did not: In fact, he did not find any increase in suicides at all, despite the lurid claims made online. "The way that this issue has been discussed on social media has been insensitive, distressing and dangerous, and goes against guidance on safe reporting of suicide," Appleby reported. "One risk is that young people and their families will be terrified by predictions of suicide as inevitable without puberty blockers." When red-state bans are discussed, you will also hear liberals say that conservative fears about the medical-transition pathway are overwrought--because all children get extensive, personalized assessments before being prescribed blockers or hormones. This, too, is untrue. Although the official standards of care recommend thorough assessment over several months, many American clinics say they will prescribe blockers on a first visit.
While librarians and their supporters consistently decry critiques of their LGBTQ advocacy as censorship, less attention has been paid to the actual content of the books the librarians promote. RCI's review of dozens of titles on display, lots of them heavy on pictures and graphics, found some gender identity books aimed at children as young as 2 years old, and others that put LGBTQ in the vanguard of a political revolution against the capitalist patriarchy. Among the queer histories, biographies and teen fiction, some books are written for queer-affirming families to support youngsters whose sexual interests span nonbinary pronouns, transgenderism and pansexuality. A recurring trope in these books is the glamorization of medicalized sex changes as brave and heroic, with several books featuring children proudly discussing their chest binders and displaying chest scars from top surgery. For elementary schoolers, there's "Gender Identity for Kids: A Book About Finding Yourself, Understanding Others, and Respecting Everybody!" This 98-page primer recommended for children ages 7-10 introduces young readers to such concepts as sex assigned at birth, intersex, transgender, agender, bigender, pangender, polygender, misgender, genderfluid, genderqueer, genderflux, neutrois, androgyne transphobia, as well as overtly leftwing political concepts including patriarchy, colonization, intersectionality, safe spaces, and allyship. "Their gender is fluid," the book says of a child named Finn, "which means it can change direction over time, just like the wind or the clouds in the sky!" Teens can find fantasy novels such as "Whiskey When We're Dry," which is set in 1885 and tells the story of a female homesteader who cuts her hair and binds her chest, and "Rainbow Rainbow," which features a nonbinary writer "on the eve of top surgery," a sperm donor, and a "sex-addicted librarian." A surprising number of books expressly criticize heterosexuality, the nuclear family, and the gender binary as obstacles to liberating humanity from capitalism, racism, colonialism, and other forms of oppression purportedly produced by white, male, Christian, Eurocentric cultural norms. A nonfiction work on display, "The Tragedy of Heterosexuality," describes straight culture as oppressive, repellent, repulsive, and pitiable -- in short: "a sick and boring life." The books consistently define queerness as anything and everything that's not heterosexual and "cisgender," an expansive understanding of the gay pride movement also affirmed by several of the libraries that display identity flags or bookmarks celebrating an omnium-gatherum of sexual identities that constitute the movement's pantheon: Demisexual, Bisexual, Intersex, Asexual, Agender, Nonbinary, Genderfluid, Pangender, Polyamory, Polysexual, and Two-Spirit. Although wokeness is in retreat in some quarters -- corporations are scaling back DEI programs and 24 states have moved to block medicalized sex changes for minors -- librarians have emerged as the unlikely shock troops of the queer resistance. Their version of what the movement stands for and what should be celebrated during Pride Month offers a more militant crusade against conventional society than many Americans may realize.BBB Update: Hakeem Jeffries, still filibustering, proclaims that the passage of the bill means "a deportation machine will be unleashed on steroids."

and they were less concerned about suicides than they were more interested in having a hetero "son" instead of a lesbian daughter (or the other way around).
this was conversion therapy, with a veneer of The Science, pushed by autogynephiliacs and quacks.

Interesting how she focuses on "completed suicides" but doesn't address the issue of attempted suicides. I suspect that number is far, far higher than most people realize.

I don't think anyone actually believes the "science" of this butcher cult. The "science" is just the fig leaf to cover the open oozing wound that was once a confused boy's crotch.
Trans butchery is fueled by three things: (i) money, (ii) rage at the world, and (iii) radical sex politics that pit insane lunatics against normals.
It has absolutely nothing to do with "science," and I don't think anyone really believes it does.

This has been known for decades - that mentally ill people who choose to mutilate themselves are no happier, no less depressed, and no less likely to kill themselves after surgery than they were before surgery.
It has required an enormous perversion of the whole system of medical research and evaluation to allow this to go on for as long as it has.

I mean...I've been saying that the OBBB increases deportation funding by about $200 billion, the only actual increase in spending (aside from some payoffs of Murk) in the bill.
$45 to the wall and $150 to ICE to increase their body count and holding capacity.

A writer at The Atlantic spills the beans and informs magazine's braindead Affluent Winebox Female Liberal audience that the "science" of transgenderism is entirely fictitious.
She can beat 'em over the head with reality, but it probably won't do any good. They should have figured out a long time ago that putting men, who claim to be women, in women's sports is a losing issue. I'm always amazed at how much courage it took for Riley Gaines to make a stand.

Back in the ancient times when I was young, they restricted some books. You had to have a parent's permission to check them out. They were nothing like this, maybe history books that went into Roman orgies and such. And this was in California. Now, it's less of an issue since the libraries are full of homeless people.

There's a problem with counting "attempted" suicides. I have a family member with off and on mental health issues, and she has "attempted" suicide at least a dozen times (and threatened to do it 100 times, whenever she argues with someone else) Each attempt was carefully done so that it would fail or be interrupted in some way. I'm slow, but after the 9th or 10th time I figured out "hey this is all just you starring in your own personal drama, isn't it?"

Ben Shapiro used to quote the one study done that he was aware of, and it showed that there was no difference in the suicide rate before and after transition. Meaning transition did not lower the suicide rate.
I have no idea if any more studies have been done since then.

Typical divide-and-conquer bullshit divorced from all traditional value doctrines.

25 This has been known for decades - that mentally ill people who choose to mutilate themselves are no happier, no less depressed, and no less likely to kill themselves after surgery than they were before surgery.
It has required an enormous perversion of the whole system of medical research and evaluation to allow this to go on for as long as it has.

I would expect the suicide rate of surgically-mutilated trannies to be much higher, since they will eventually discover that they are nothing but a counterfeit, and shunned by decent people, and worse, there's no going back.

I still think nat gas plants will be cheaper. But the big advantage to nuclear plants now (besides the fact that they work really well) is that what's needed for them to operate is all on site - you don't need wells, pipelines, and other distribution infrastructure. So it's much easier for a corp to have all of it under their control.

The whole focus on trying to divine the tea leaves from suicides makes no sense to me. It's so easy to figure out.
Just compare the number of teen suicides that occurred before trans "treatment" became available to those that occurred after treatments became available. If the treatments reduced suicides, there would be a noticeable drop in suicides. Is there?
I assume the answer is "there is not," which it why we never hear this easy method to test the lunatics' bullshit claims.

A surprising number of books expressly criticize heterosexuality, the nuclear family, and the gender binary as obstacles to liberating humanity from capitalism, racism, colonialism, and other forms of oppression purportedly produced by white, male, Christian, Eurocentric cultural norms.
This argument would be more convincing if the same people claiming it didn't also say that it's a moral imperative to let the entire world in to live under said norms.

There's a problem with counting "attempted" suicides. I have a family member with off and on mental health issues, and she has "attempted" suicide at least a dozen times (and threatened to do it 100 times, whenever she argues with someone else) Each attempt was carefully done so that it would fail or be interrupted in some way. I'm slow, but after the 9th or 10th time I figured out "hey this is all just you starring in your own personal drama, isn't it?"

The trans cult has collapsed.
Detransitioners now outnumber transitioners.
Regret rate approaching 80%.
Previously successful silencing of anti-trans voices now no longer successful -- anti-trans narrative has hit the mainstream.
Parents coast to coast learning en masse that their kids are being brainwashed in public schools.
Horror stories now get MSM coverage.
England, Sweden, Netherlands and other countries already backtracking on trans treatment. America lagging behind the global trend against child-mutilation.
Within five years, it will be a forgotten mass hysteria.

It's an attempt to legitimize the trans movement by tying it to a concept one Indian tribe has where men can be in touch with their feminine side. Sort of like Pete Townshend's "I know exactly what it's like to be a woman", but without the drugs.

All the gender nonsense has always been mental illness plus bad people exploiting mental illness for power and money.

It’s that simple even I guess raised by gorillas understood it
We live in an age of the celebration of mental illness
An uncomfortable percentage of the population around us is nuts

Transitioning does not reduce suicide (perhaps increases the odds), but it does seem to increase homicidal tendencies.
The Nashville school shooter was the last one (though she did not actually physically transition, iirc). There are others, and percentage wise compared to straights, the odds seem high. These are "disturbed" people, often victims of abuse/grooming.

Trannies have a lifetime of expensive regular medical care. Think of it the way software's gone from purchase to subscription. That's great for hospitals and doctors here, but under socialized medicine it's a big no-no.
Posted by: Ian S.
==============
I've seen British trannies sobbing that they're not going to get their meds -- although this might be a claim along the lines of USAID killing 14 million.
But you bring up a well-known issue, which is that transers are lifetime patients. You don't a year or whatever getting the surgeries and growing a beard (or losing your beard) and then go your merry way. It's yet another reason why we absolutely should NOT allow trannies in the military, and we shouldn't subsidize it with private insurance.

The San Francisco Trans March last Saturday WAS NOT EVEN ABOUT TRANSSEXUALISM any more! Incredible. They've given up promoting it as a lifestyle, now just using "trans" as an identifier of a political demographic the leaders can manipulate.
But wait, you may ask -- if the Trans March wasn't about being trans, then what WAS it about?
Ready for this?: Palestine!
All marchers instructed to bring Palestinian flags and protest signs, and they dedicated the Trans March to "Gaza" and "Palestine" etc.
You know a moement is over when it is fully co-opted to support somebody's else's cause.

My take before exiting to buy some fireworks so I can blow off my thumbs tomorrow for the amusement of the neighborhood kids...
In therapy I've learned that many times suicide is an escape. Escape from pain, etc. I can attest to this personally.
Attempts that aren't calculated to succeed are generally cries for help. In that view I guess one could say it's attention seeking but I'd argue that it isn't trivial thing. Perhaps done when a person has nowhere to go and doesn't think anyone is listening. Regardless, it's a bit complicated there.
Even threatening is often a flight or fight thing, seeking escape without a healthy way to express it.
I have my biases of course, so for some time now I've leaned toward taking it all seriously. Hence my reaction and question.
Thx

Are there any stats on the number of trans-people who have elected to have surgery? Basically is that pool growing, shrinking or staying stagnant?
I'm wondering if the "pool" of people who go all in and transition is growing or shrinking. Might point to a self-extermination event.

They want off the trans train.
The order has gone out to disengage from trans - it's too expensive for socialized medicine, and it pisses off too many voters in the US. The first sign was the NYT running Andrew Sullivan's piece complaining that trannies should not be grouped with gays and lesbians.

Ehhhhh...it's become something of a catchall for TikTok attention-seekers to claim autism/Asperger's, ADHD, OCD, and other disorders for clout and affirmation. It's also become a get out of jail free card for these same people for being douches.
Sadly, like the whole "triggered" thing, it takes the language of actual mental issues which can in some cases be rather debilitating, waters it down, cheapens it, turns it into social currency, and gives a bad name to people who actually do have problems with these things. So the people who actually do have these conditions get trivialized because dipshit pretenders are out there being asshole fraudsters.

Although wokeness is in retreat in some quarters -- corporations are scaling back DEI programs and 24 states have moved to block medicalized sex changes for minors -- librarians have emerged as the unlikely shock troops of the queer resistance.
Wokeness is not in "retreat", considering it already has gotten most of its policies in place. "Gender identity" is a federally protected class of people. All corporate sexual harassment training includes this. Someone "identifies" as another sex, employees must respect that. Someone prefers certain "pronouns", employees must refer to the employee by those preferred "pronouns". Someone wants to use a certain bathroom, employees must accommodate that.
It's not the queers who are the resistance. It is all non-queers who are fighting to resist all the queers and their promoters who are in positions of power and influence thanks to the Long March Through the Institutions.
Until/unless "gender identity" is removed as a protected class and male/female are legally recognized as the only two sexes, this insanity will continue.

> I'm not sure what neuro-divergent means.
There's a school of thought that says neurological differences we see in autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc are variations in how people's brains work, as opposed to a pathology (diseased or defective). The term "neurodivergent" is from that school of thought.
But of course one obvious critique with this framing is they've simply slapped different names on a binary of normal vs abnormal.
The term is also very broad and not rigorously defined. There really are some diseases and impairments that a "neurodivergent" label might cause one to not seek medical help for their issues.

These perverts are obviously fucked in the head. But I also think they feel they can get away with anything -- because most of them have, for the past 20 years. There are perverted straight guys too. But I think any adult male who is attracted to a 12-year-old girl would think twice about acting on that perversion. He would know that, if he gets caught, he will be crucified.

It's good that a writer for The Atlantic is (finally) admitting to this, so now do abortion and what biology has to say regarding when life begins. And after this, what imprinting has to say about what the effects of trans reading hours for minors have on young developing minds.
Those two would be a good way to continue this series for The Atlantic to do, but I won't be holding my breath waiting for them to publish anything on either of them soon.

Nobody gives a fuck about men. Which interestingly enough, a couple of trans "women" found out once they started living as men. Nobody gave a fuck about them anymore. Nobody paid them any attention. It was much harder to make friends. There was also that lesbian woman who lived undercover as a man for like a year or something and discovered basically the same thing. She eventually killed herself.

It's why I brook those consenting parents no quarter. One well-known detransitioner, Chloe Cole, says she understands her parents' dilemma when they consented to her unnecessary double mastectomy at the age of 15. My judgment of those parents is... harsher.

Some of those parents had the state threatening to take away their kid if they did not allow them to transition. Others divorced over it and the evil parent with custody rammed it through like in Texas augmented by judicial power to do so.
Others did it like Angelie Jolie (and another forgotten actress maimed by too much plastic surgery )for social credit in their perverted Hollyweird social scene for bragging points.

I mentioned this before, maybe a long time ago. Used to have an adult m to f surgical "transitioner" renting a house nearby. He lived by itself and rarely left the house. He was hideous, a man in a dress with long hair. The a police presence and coroner's wagon with the body bag going in kind of confirmed his "move out" one day. Never heard a thing about it, either. Saw it with my own eyes though. And this is in a small town in WY.

Have you ever seen the video of Jinping confronting Trudeau about leaking details of their closed-door meeting? Jinping never raises his voice, never seems flustered, but he calmly tells Trudeau to stop it. Trudeau seems fairly calm, but after the short talk, he walks in one direction, pauses, hops a bit on the spot, and quickly walks in another direction. He's clearly so flustered and anxious he doesn't know what to do with himself. It's magical.

You didn't. I can say that I have known all types in this - I have had good friends who committed suicide (successfully) because the pain in their lives was too much to bear, or in other cases their mental illness left them unable to view the world rationally anymore. I will always feel incredible sorry and pity for them. On the other hand, I have also known the pure manipulators, and there are sadly many of them. For them, this is just one more tool in their constant battle to push around everyone they know.
The manipulators are always good mimics. It takes some experience and wisdom to see them clearly. (obviously that's true in all areas of life, not just this topic)

I would also not underestimate the power of "you can have a dead son or a live daughter." There's a reason the Mengeles kept pimping that line. It worked.
Almost surely the parents had already gone through years of problems with their mentally-ill kid. Probably constant threats of suicide. They were at their end. When some doctor in a lab coat says "dead son or live daughter," the parents believe it.

I'll point out, as a matter of general interest, that the evil genius who transitioned animals into people wound up dying a horrible death at the hands of his subjects. I merely mention it.

"Neurodivergent" = "at least a little bit off the beam."
It can mean anything from someone who's a touch neurotic, to Ted Bundy or Lindsey Graham.
It's a catch-all term that was invented to replace unfashionable hate words like "crazy."

Angelina let her do it without triumphantly announcing that she was the proud mom of a trans child and rushing the kid to a kiddie butcher. Shiloh has never transed.

Pretty clear from evidence way back when Johns Hopkins shut down its transing unit for adults that gender reassignment treatment does not result in a happy ending. No reason that transing a kid would improve that dismal record and I suspect that a lot of medical professionals and their institutions are going to be sued over and over again by miserable grown up butchered kids that have grown up.
In the end, reality always wins over magical thinking.

From the content:
They keep almost admitting it but not quite - by which I mean, while acknowledging the falsity they never take that tiny little step to realize that maybe it's deliberate: lying, in other words. They also seem to think irresponsible is just as bad as lying - and they call us the humorless scolds!
Similarly, they continue to treat all the new, mostly-fake words, as if they were legit. If an actual conservative had written that article, I would expect them to point out clearly (instead of leaving it between the lines) that while accusing us of creating a moral panic, the trans-is-always-right brigade... created a much bigger moral panic.

Tomboys used to be a normal thing for some girls. They'd dress like boys and do the sort of things boys would do, like learn how to throw a baseball, and then grow out of it.
Which would come in handy when filling out an adult co-ed softball team. One I played on in the early 90s had several women who were tomboys when growing up (and all but one turned out to be heterosexual women - the last one, who was a homerun threat and could play in the outfield as well as most guys, was a butch lesbian), and we won state one of those years.

At a certain point, even Elon's money might not save him because the people that vote in primaries are activists that are less moved by money than ideas. I could however see Massie running as a sore loser independent if KY does not have such laws.

My advice to world leaders...
Always..no, never use a sit and spin right after you poop your pants.
Never play pocket pool after you poop your pants.
Please Joe don't use the swimming pool after you poop your pants.
Ask people to pull your finger before rather than after you poop your pants.
Don't yell 'Emergency Blow!' as you poop your pants.
If the server asks if you want anything else, it's not ok to poop your pants and ask for a wipe and a handshake.
My word as a Biden, you follow these to the letter, you'll live a life of joy and profit!

And even of that 20%, people have blindspots. Humans are not Spock which is why that particular character worked well bumping up against someone all too human.
Modern life was recognized as causing alienation way back in the 1890's and I think that societal changes has made a fair number of people unhappy in the midst of untold of prosperity and long life. Course, we always whitewash the awful actuality of the past where a person got a skint knee and died of sepsis shortly thereafter or died of hunger, malnutrition, and a host of other evils latched onto mankind.

Not all get Dr. Mangler, top-notch child or adult mutilator. Some get whatever mutilator will do the job for what a Blue State is willing to pay. If that's not enough to scare someone away from significant permanent body-altering surgery, I don't what to say, other than the patient is clearly insane.

Cutting out politics and just watching The Great British Bake Off is a recipe for a happy life.
There is a point at which the politics intrude. You start noticing that you can predict who is going to win based on the immutable physical characteristics of the competitors. Four white Brits and an Indian woman? She's gonna win. Mixed group with one blatant flaming queer? He's gonna win.

Note to anyone considering "transitioning" from being a man to being a woman:
You don't get to claim you know what being a woman feels like. Your point of view is irreparably lost to that bit of information. You have never lived in a woman's body, nor had to deal with all of the physical and emotional frustrations of raging hormones, pregnancy and birth, menopause, and dozens of other little events a woman has to deal with. There is no way in hell you can honestly believe you "feel" like a woman.
So shut up already. It is insulting to those of us who are, you know, women.
You want to wear womanface and act all prissy? Most of us don't even do that. You are an actor. Get over yourself.
I expect the same is true for women "transing" to "become" men. I can't speak to that. I have never been a man.

Transitioning does not reduce suicide (perhaps increases the odds), but it does seem to increase homicidal tendencies.
I don’t want to downplay that they were insane to begin with and going through mutilation didn’t change that, but the scene in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert where the ex-Kryptonian is eating pills like they were breakfast cereal was only slightly exaggerated. In order to keep the fiction going requires pills, it requires pills to keep the mutilation from getting infected, the pills require pills to reduce side effects, and the side effect reduction pills require pills.
All of which is likely to screw with brain chemistry.

Last night was an example and may have set the record. Before that, McCarthy did in 2023-24 on a bill. Tom Delay created the tactic for the GOP but Dems have done similar antics when running the House.

Yep. Apparently Thune snuck in a lot of the verbiage thrown out by the Parliamentarian back into the final bill. That was allowed because the Dems had to object to that reversion citing the Byrd rule using a point of order. Then the amendment would have required 60 votes. Apparently they did not do that. That was the story floating around last night.
By the same bill language being used by the House, no new Senate vote (and objection) can happen. Bill is now to be presented to Trump for signing.
