Could they not at least join the lawsuits against the directives? Or are they also afraid of being punished for that?

They certainly would have standing to sue. But the leadership probably sees it as less costly and less risky for their business model to capitulate.

So weak.
How can we trust these organizations to protect private information they have if they cave this easily.

Obedience in advance is acceptance/approval.

There is no work these orgs do that is not ultimately negated by this capitulation, and nothing they can do that will ultimately save them. This is a rapists' administration, they will come for every woman.

Cowards.

2. NSVRC: “NSVRC is aware of the executive orders but has not received official guidance on how they will directly impact us.”

NSVRC admits they have not been told to remove any materials by the federal government, which implies their removals were *preemptive*

3. @glaad.bsky.social 's quote from this article: "GLAAD stressed that trans people and LGBTQ+ youth are “among the most vulnerable to violence, abuse, and housing insecurity.”"

4. I'm grateful to the community for sending me tips on organizations that are removing mentions of trans people. This story could not have been broken without @devtesla.bsky.social in particular.

New article on other nonprofits censoring trans people soon--subscribe!

Very saddening. Thank you to those involved helping bringing this cowardice to light.
