1. We have more info about California's transgender segregation/partial ban/displacement rule for the upcoming championships. If the trans athlete wins, the athlete underneath her will be given the same medal, unclear on if they will share the podium.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

Trans people know ourselves best — the Trump administration doesn’t get to tell us who we can be.

“It’s not a sports ban, instead we are going to let you compete and if a ‘biological female’ would have earned the medal you earned, we will give it to her and award her the podium spot and record” Anyway, latest CIF release from California here. www.cifstate.org/news/2025_TF...

UK libel laws are basically “if you are rich enough you can shut anyone up even if they’re telling the truth” Thankfully they don’t apply to the United States. Anyway. JK Rowling engages in holocaust denialism and pedals hate towards transgender youth.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid! A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors." Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. Republican legislators were in uproar after a Democratic representative asked the sponsor of an anti-trans sports ban to prove they were not trans. Their bill would require teenage girls to do just that. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Absolutely insane filing. The Trump government is arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because it was part of the lawsuit against the transgender military ban. We are just STEPS away from Russia-style designating LGBTQ+ orgs "extremist and terrorist organizations"

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place. He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII. I cover this insane ruling here. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Some bigots are coming up to Cambridge to spread hate.

1. A landmark study has found major flaws in the Cass Review. Almost two dozen researchers have published their takedown of Cass in the BMC Medical Research Methodology journal. This review was cited over 100 times by the HHS report. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Happy #WebcomicDay, all~! :D I have two PG-13 queer dramedy webcomics~! :D - My Impossible Soulmate, my current and ongoing isekai fantasy love story. - And Rain, a slice of life that's complete but still has bonus strips from time to time. Read on in the thread for some sample pages!

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report. Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today. opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

I was just on NPR Member Station KCRW's "Press Play" where I fact check the Trump HHS Review targeting transgender healthcare. Listen to me speak here: www.kcrw.com/news/shows/p...

1. In a new leaked memo, Pam Bondi is directing the DOJ to go after trans care providers under "anti-FGM" laws. She also has directed the investigation of HRT manufacturers. She calls transgender people "infectious." The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Have you heard that "900 medals have been stolen from girls" by trans women? This stat is EXTREMELY wrong. It includes hot dog eating, jeopardy, and acting, and tripple counts some winners. S. Baum fact checks this extensively in our latest. Subscribe to support our journalism.

You’ll still lose friends. That’s because despite what a few old people said in a Supreme Court decision, TERF hate still looks ugly and nobody wants to be friends with a bigot.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

1. A Florida teacher has been fired because she used a transgender student's name. But now, her community is rallying around her and fighting for her to keep her job. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our reporting.

I'm a transgender person whose birth certificate has not been allowed to be changed by my home state. There are many, many people like me. This will disenfranchise so many of us.

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

1. Trump has announced that transgender people are an "improper ideology," and has demanded that the Women's History Museum remove them or lose funding. It is the latest in a government campaign to erase transgender people. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Yesterday, in an interview with Sunday Morning Futures, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville falsely claimed that "entire teams are turning transgender." It is the latest in a series of wild claims by Republicans about transgender people. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Lol what? "Entire men's teams and women's teams are turning trans" They are obsessed with trans people. Utterly obsessed to the point of mouth frothing madness.

Make America Great Depression

In sum: an economically illiterate "conservative" institutes the biggest tax hike in history in an effort to revive the policies that led to the Great Depression. Cool.

1. Today, young organizers held a huge rally in D.C. for Trans Day of Visibility. Dem leaders, activists, and allies spoke. “We are all standing together against the fascist lie that our bodies are not our own.” Our writer S. Baum was on the ground today. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

Incredible news on TDOV. The 9th Circuit has denied the government’s request to enforce its transgender military ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility: Trans people have always existed, and we always will.  No president, politician, or court can change that.

1. The Trump administration has announced it will be investigating California, and will pull its school funding unless it forcibly outs transgender students. California has a law against forced outing policies. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Montana Bathroom ban is signed into law. Gianforte thanked the Alliance Defending Freedom and Riley Gaines in his address. This makes it against the law for trans people to use the bathroom in the airport, parks, the capitol building, and more. It also impacts me and my wife Zooey personally.

These bills are another cruel attempt by Montana Republicans to harass trans people. These bills do not make women safe. They merely infringe on the privacy rights of trans Montanans & endanger us as we live our lives in public. Like 2023's SB 458, I expect this bills to be deemed unconstitutional.

And just like that, immediately after the DC circuit issued a complicated administrative stay that could bring back the trans military ban... A federal judge in WA has just issued their own order blocking Trump from removing trans people from the military! storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
