"#US #SupremeCourt allows #Trump to implement #transgender #trans #military ban"
Right, because the #gender of the person flying the drone is so freaking important (/s)
Why must this country be so fucking stupid?

This weekend, I found myself in a public restroom with a trans woman.
We both peed, no one died.
Crazy.
People with money, the Good Law Project are crowdfunding to fight for trans rights: https://goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/fighting-fund-for-trans-rights/ .
Wisconsin’s Name-Change Law Raises Safety Risks for Transgender People
—
A 167-year-old statute requires trans people to publish their old and new names in a newspaper. Families and advocates worry the requirement now poses a risk as President Donald Trump has attacked transgender rights.

BMC Medical Research Methodology: "Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare"

What Labour _should_ be saying is “we are grateful to the Supreme Court for highlighting the ambiguity of the current law, and we will be bringing forward emergency legislation to resolve the issue as soon as is practicable. It has always been this Government’s position that trans women are women and trans men are men”.
Instead we get this weasel nonsense…

Happy Pride Month! 🎉
This month, and every month, we stand with our LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends and acquaintances.
There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure LGBTQ+ people are safe in their communities, but we hope that we can help them build safety on the open social web.

A message for cis women who fall for the line that their trans sistas, who you have shared bathrooms with forever, are suddenly a danger
You have put all women at risk. More cis women are now being challenged and assaulted by vigilante transphobes than trans women. If any woman is a little tall, a little hairy, has a slightly larger jawline, a slightly deep voice, or slightly masculine features, they are now at risk
You are not a feminist. You are the danger to women
After the UK's Football Association banned trans women from playing football(!), @claptoncfc have stepped up and are raising funds to launch a legal challenge with this sweet trans version of their goalkeeper's jersey!

Just had to tell a trans woman, on the run from family after violence, broke, on the streets, that I can't help.
We're so far behind it's not even fair to her to do an intake interview.
If you can help, we could use it. 2500 EUR would get us one person closer to her place in line.
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.”

Someone has gone through and run the numbers on molestation crimes against children.
67% of politicians accused or convicted of child abuse nationwide were Republicans.
QAnon needs to look in the mirror.
Out of nearly 11,000 USA cases examined, just 1 offender was a drag queen. Only 5 were trans. 846 were religious figures. 301 were police.

I'm not seeing much comment on it in my feed so...
Today, hundreds of trans people and allies turned up to lobby Parliament in an event organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance about the horrible situation in which trans peeps find ourselves in the UK.
I couldn't make it, because I live nearly 300 miles away, I got autistic demand avoidance from not being able to find out how it would all work, and my MH would have made it too difficult. Still...
Parliament couldn't cope. They were overwhelmed despite having had notice of the numbers and some folks had to wait for hours to get in. It's been suggested that the authorities expected only a few to turn up, as happens when the transphobes do their thing.
Anyway, it seems to have been a huge success. Thanks to the organisers, thanks to those who went, and let's all hope that MPs listen and end this Starmer-led horror show that has many trans folk including me wanting to leave the country.

"Indian court rules #transWomen are #women and ‘legally entitled to recognition’"
'In a landmark ruling for the country, after rejecting claims that womanhood was preserved only for those who can bear children, the High Court of #AndhraPradesh ruled that #trans women were “legally entitled” to recognition as women.
...tying the definition of women to pregnancy was “legally unsustainable” and contradicted #India’s constitution'

The German Chess Federation has rejected any ban, stressing that “chess is diverse and inclusive.” Federation president Ingrid Lauterbach condemned the discriminatory backlash against Nora Heidemann, 17, saying, “We’re an inclusive sport and want to be so.”
