Non-binary students should have the same opportunities as other students. This should go without saying, but things typically unsaid need to be screamed right now.

In the week after the Supreme Court decision on trans athletes, a major conservative think tank called for Title IX to be eliminated, whining that it's "unfair to men." IT WAS NEVER ABOUT TRANS ATHLETES. They believe women don't deserve opportunities in sports. Not just trans women, but all women.

The trans sports cases are about much more than sports & trans people. It's about distracting you from the chipping away of other rights & freedoms. It's about whether the government gets to decide who we are & how we live. It is about power & control.

Finish this sentence: “Sports should be about ______.” This week, @thechrismosier.bsky.social from transathlete.com and co-author of Fair Game joins us to talk about trans athletes.

People matter. Kids matter. Sports should include everyone. Let’s build a future where every kid feels safe, valued and supported in sports and in our communities. A future where kids can grow up knowing they matter.

My 10yo pal Oskar is BRILLIANT. He's collecting all of the elements of the periodic table. He reads college-level texts about it - but he also trades Pokémon with me & sings "I'm a potato I'm a potato I'm a potato" (still very much 10 😂). Help him meet Bill Nye: americasfavstudent.org/2026/oskar

Once governing bodies claim the authority to decide who qualifies as a woman & require medical proof to back it up, that authority doesn’t stop with transgender athletes. It extends to any woman whose body falls outside expectations. You're about to see it in action.

if you're only reporting that the IOC has banned transgender athletes, you are missing a huge part of the story: the IOC is now requiring genetic testing for ALL WOMEN ATHLETES. Transphobia hurts everyone.

Pure-grade human-rights horror show grounded in pseudo-science & rightwing lingo. “Eligibility for any female category event at the Olympic Games or any other IOC event…is now limited to biological females, determined on the basis of a one‑time SRY gene screening”

The (heinous) International Olympic Committee has just (fucking) formally banned trans participation in sport. stillmed.olympics.com/media/Docume...

Imagine if the billionaires bankrolling anti-trans athlete ads in states across the country actually put that money - over ONE BILLION DOLLARS spent on ads against trans athletes - into women's sports. 🤯 Now THAT would be a way to really support women & girls in sports.

🚨 The #IOC is reportedly considering mandatory genetic sex testing and a blanket ban on trans and intersex women in sport. In response, the #SRA and over 80 organizations are calling for these plans to be immediately reversed. 🔗 Read the full statement: sportandrightsalliance.org/olympics-sex...

People with disabilities represent the only minority group that anyone can become a member of at any time. Everyone should care about accessibility, whether it impacts you now or not!

1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people. This time, it comes from Jesse Singal. I fact check it in my latest piece. End your NYT subscription, and put it towards people doing good work on the issue. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The New York Times spreads misinformation about transgender people yet again.

Despite the history, despite there being no evidence that warrants banning transgender athletes, it's still happening. When people close their eyes & make policy based on pressure & politics over evidence & history, no one wins. www.them.us/story/new-st...

New Study Once Again Shows Trans Women Have No Physical Advantage Over Cis Athletes

Researchers analyzed data from almost 3,000 trans women.

Exclusionary policies in sports don’t just impact transgender women; they normalize surveillance & judgment of women’s bodies. That is not protection. It’s control.

One of my favorite sports is tracking athletes' careers through multiple @katiebarnes.bsky.social profiles on them

It's been 41 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

I included a roundup of where we stand on the seven big legal cases we have making their way through the courts against the Trump Administration in today's newsletter:

🏳️‍⚧️ A BIG WIN! Today, the Minnesota Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Cooper v. USA Powerlifting, a case about a trans athlete participating in women's sports, affirming that transgender athletes have the right to compete in sports without discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.

We can't dismiss the racial politics of a bunch of white men locking a Black woman in a room. I think it's also worth noting that being locked in a room by a man who won't let you leave until you bow to his wishes is the stuff of women's nightmares.

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to entertain (& align with) right-wing media & podcasters. This week, in his 4-HOUR INTERVIEW with the Shawn Ryan Show podcast: “The trans issue for me is so novel. I’m trying to understand as much as anyone else the whole ‘pronoun’ thing.” It's not that difficult...

What if all this time he's not lying on purpose, he just truly doesn't remember? If this was Biden, the media would be ALL OVER his mental state.

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims [From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims

The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

PRO TIP: If you don't like gay marriage, don't get gay married. This reminder brought to you by the month of June, the number 10, and all the queer folks minding their own business. 😘
