Billie Jean King:
"“I don’t think people have any idea of how hard it is for trans people...Just listen to their stories. Listen — not tell them. Everyone is unique. Make them feel included because you really don’t know."

Hungary just tried to ban #Pride, then Budapest rocked the most defiant #LGBTQ party ever! Still, right-wingers (like Andrew Sullivan in the NY Times) WON'T stop justifying bigotry against #transgender people. All this and much more in this week's #queer P&P storytelling.

A federal appeals court upheld the Milwaukee Public School's decision to fire a counselor who made anti-transgender remarks at a rally.
The U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on L.W. vs Skrmetti, a case that will decide whether state bans on gender-affirming treatment for young people are constitutional. @TeenVogue spoke to trans youth and their supportive families about what this means for them, the difficulties they've had in accessing care, and why it's so important. One mom, Esther, spoke of what she witnessed right after her daughter Kai told her she was trans. “I opened the door, and she was just beaming. She had her headphones in and was just kind of be-bopping and, like, dancing,” Esther recalls. “I'd never seen her smile like that. She'd been suffering with depression, [harming] herself, anxiety for years, and just had this heaviness to her. And it was just gone. There was a lightness.”

The #Trump admin has sued <California for allowing #transgender athletes to compete on #school sports teams that match their #gender #identity.
The suit alleges that California has violated federal civil rights law by discriminating against women [which doesn’t make any sense].
California officials have denied any wrongdoing & rejected federal demands to bar transgender #athletes from girls’ & women’s school #sports teams.

Anti-Transgender Bill Advances in Puerto Rico, Seeking to Ban Lifesaving Care for Youth and Punish Parents and Doctors
#SCOTUS on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on #gender-affirming care for #transgender minors, a stunning setback to #TransgenderRights.
The 6-3 decision in a case from #Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by #Trump’s #Republican admin & #state govts to roll back #protections for transgender people. 26 other #states have laws similar to the one in TN.
