Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

This past Friday, “Protect Girls Sports” - an anti-trans coalition led by an SPLC-designated hate group named The California Family Council (CFC) - descended upon the Long Beach Marriott to yell at CIF, the governing body for school sports in CA. This is their “We Demand To Be Taken Seriously” pic

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US: Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 8mo ago

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

A screenshot of a news article header featuring circular portraits of three authors: Azeen Ghorayshi, Amy Harmon, and Reed Abelson. The dateline is Dec. 18, 2025. The opening paragraph reads: "The federal government on Thursday acted to put an end to gender-related care for minors across the nation, threatening to pull federal funding from any hospital that offered such treatment."

If you have any interest in trans rights, this is a pretty incredible documentary. It’s about Chase Strangio, the trans man who has been arguing before the Supreme Court. And about the ways the news media can misunderstand and misrepresent trans people. gathr.com/vod/9320a621...

90 FUCKING PERCENT i’d love for cis folks to remember what the nyt, atlantic, guardian, daily mail, times of london, ny post, cnn, wall street journal, & economist took from your transgender neighbors & loved ones before the next time you consider giving them money or listening to a word they say.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights. lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...

A poll, commissioned by Equality Australia in the first quarter of 2025, found that:
• 86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
• 89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
• 91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
• 81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other
Australians.

Amazing turnout all across the USA! Drop your city, state, and total turnout in the comments below! Make sure your city’s counted! We’ve got thousands of coalition members helping verify numbers, but we want to double-check everything!

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

This from Riley Gaines is why trans people freak out when Democrats try to carve out some compromise over sports. The politicians and activists attacking trans people are not interested in compromise! They're interested in our eradication from public life and are exploiting sports to that end

This is Ms. Gaines’s intuition as an activist, too: If people accept the premise that transgender women do not belong in women’s sports, then they have conceded that transgender women are not fully, truly women.

As she sees it, more sweeping restrictions of transgender people flow from there, including the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that states can ban gender-affirming care for minors and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee’s change of its eligibility rules to bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women’s sports.

“The gender ideology movement is a house of cards, and I believe it’s lying on that sports issue,” she said. “This will be the card that makes all of it crumble.”

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

1. Yesterday, the FTC held a panel with anti-trans activists meant to justify charging providers of gender affirming care with fraud. It is yet another avenue the Trump administration is trying to use to target trans care nationwide. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Twitter post from @rifflexielian: "Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being

Trump has long relied on threats, not lawful authority, to promote bigotry. His discriminatory effort to ban medical care for young trans people depends almost entirely on hospitals' voluntarily complying with his threats. Some are, but resistance is building. Article by Allison Chapman @alli.gay
