🚨The US House of Representatives are voting tonight to change the proposed Medicaid & ACA Gender Affirming Care BAN from under 18 to ADULTS AND MINORS. This could be the first NATIONWIDE Gender Affirming Care BAN for ADULTS!! Call your representatives NOW!!!

The Trump Report is in. Everyone in the LGBTQ+ community take note please. This is the framework for our erasure

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...

Trans and gender diverse people didn't crash the economy. They aren't why your bill is so high. They aren't why fear permeates the air. Immigrants are none of these things, either. The people in charge cannot place responsibility on convenient minorities and explain away failure.

ABC [Apr 20] -- Thousands rally in central London to protest UK Supreme Court ruling that trans women aren't women for under the Equality Act, as UK head of Equality and Human Rights Commission says ruling will exclude them from women's toilets, hospital rooms & sports. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Thousands of trans rights supporters rally in Central London

Trans-Visibility begins with Trans-Joy 🎉 Here is my joy. #SilenceIsErasure

From my latest piece. The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

Transexual Menace NYC is protesting JK Rowling's bankrolling transphobia outside the Harry Potter Shop in response to the UK Supreme Court defining womanhood solely on biological sex. We are not a billionaire's hateful pet project. Trans rights are human rights. #transrights #readanotherbook

I’m a trans woman with a 9 year old son. I do all of these things and more while also having a high stress job. The audacity of this gives away the game that they don’t even think we are human.

gav@gavinmit.bsky.social · 2y ago

the level of cracked where you can't conceive of trans women cooking

Dictating policy in a foreign country to attack marginalized peoples. Everyone should be concerned. We are. www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/18/j...

'Roll back LGBTQ+ laws to secure a US trade deal', UK government reportedly told

US vice president JD Vance has reportedly told the UK that it must roll back its LGBTQ+ hate speech laws to get a trade deal over the line.

I have really good news to announce to everyone. Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care. Good work everyone.

What (and we cannot stress this enough) the ACTUAL fuck?!?! Call your senators, call your representatives, call your mom if you think that would help.

Denise Norris@denisenorris.bsky.social · 2y ago

And look what snuck in a proposed rule change for Affordable Care Act.👇 "...prohibit issuers of coverage subject to EHB [essential health benefits] requirements from providing coverage for sex-trait modification as an EHB." Add a comment & say fuck no! Make this viral! H/T @scrappyaf.bsky.social

This Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month, please remember our neurokin who lost their lives to systemic racism and ableism. Rest in peace Victor Perez. And I still haven’t forgotten Ryan Gainer, who we lost last year. 💔

1. Major ruling: A federal court has ruled, for now, that Trump cannot take away school lunch money from hungry kids over trans students. This is Gov. Janet Mills first victory after telling Trump she would "see you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Judge Rules Trump Cannot Take School Lunch Money From Hungry Kids In Maine Over Trans Students

The Bush-appointed judge chastised the government for failing to comply with rules over the termination of funding after it blocked funding over trans students in Maine.

Please for the love of all that's holy: prepare a go-bag with all your important documents and spare cash. Even if you don't expect to need it, keep everything in one secure location.

Regret rates amongst people receiving gender affirming surgeries is less than 1%. This is already scientifically known and understood. Gender affirm care SAVES LIVES and that’s why conservatives hate it www.npr.org/sections/sho...

White House orders NIH to research trans 'regret' and 'detransition'

The new research will study the physical and mental health effects of gender transition. It comes on the heels of the administration cutting hundreds of research grants for LGBTQ+ health.

World pride is a celebration of everything queer, love, and community. But it’s also a protest. We will be there, even if the rest of the world is too scared to show.

NOTUS [Apr 12] -- WorldPride organizers are warning trans athletes about the risks of traveling to the US to attend the 2025 event in DC. Separately, NOTUS contacted 40 corporate sponsors on WorldPride's website and only 5 affirmed their support. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Supreme Court rules that the Trump admin has to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Though it still is a bit vague and leaves the Trump admin space to maneuver and obstruct.

The only thing we ask is that you engage with this issue critically. Why exactly is the government expending so much energy on such a fraction of the population? Do you know any trans people? If you don't...could you try to? If you meet us, you might just realize we're only people.

The Transexual Menace@transexualmenace.bsky.social · 2y ago

“People across the political spectrum agree that in fact, the major crises and major problems facing the United States right now is not the existence and civic participation of trans people,”

“People across the political spectrum agree that in fact, the major crises and major problems facing the United States right now is not the existence and civic participation of trans people,”

Transgender people are about 1% of the US population. Yet they're a political lightning rod

President Donald Trump has signed a slew of policies aimed at wiping transgender people out of government records, sports and even history.

Trans rights suppression, paradoxically, is not about trans rights. The system of power relies on conformity. It is hard to face the truth; for anyone opposed to trans existence who may read this - the only thing we represent is freedom of existence, and expression. We are people, not ideology.

As we harp incessantly on human rights, and intersectionality, *this is why*. A rights violation, once done against one, may be done against all. The courts have ruled countless times that immigrants enjoy 1st and 14th Amendment rights, yet those same rights are currently being flagrantly violated

The Transexual Menace@transexualmenace.bsky.social · 2y ago

As the assault on the 14th Amendment rages on, the continued abductions by masked law enforcement makes us worry how long before ordinary people are rounded up for supporting trans-rights? 👉Everyone has the right of due process, including Menaces. #SilenceIsErasure
