States Sue Over Trump Efforts to End Pediatric Transgender Medical Care

Trump’s war on trans people — trying to eliminate them — is un-American. Criminalizing doctors for providing health care to trans young people is vile. It’s none of Trump’s damn business what health care trans kids receive.

CA is joining other states to put a stop to this civil rights violation.

The media is completely ignoring that Brown University just agreed to a full bathroom ban and defining trans people out of existence. Even worse, when they mention it, they're describing it as a sports ban. This is not just a sports ban.

The media is hiding what's happening here.

a lot of rank and file dems do not seem to understand that trans people are in an existential battle for our right to be part of society right now. the government today is trying to use employment law and federal extortion to ban us from bathrooms.

This is an attack on the trans community at Brown — students who chose Brown in part because of a strong tradition of being supportive of LGBT rights. Shameful capitulation by Brown, sacrificing a besieged minority of its students on the altar of research dollars. Awful.

Brown University’s “Resolution Agreement” with Trump adopts his definition of male & female to exclude transgender people & also adopts his anti-trans policies on restrooms, housing & sports.

By continuing to cave to Trump & by refusing to fight back, major institutions continue to fuel fascism.

Florida AG Subpoenas Venue For A List Of Guests Who Attended A Drag Show Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wants to intimidate drag queens and gay bars. It’s not going as planned.

Tonight I signed up with The Green Party - after voting for them in the last General Election.

I’ve previously been Labour voter and member, but left them several years ago after Starmer’s swing towards transphobia.

I will NOT vote for Labour again while they actively ATTACK trans people! 😖

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*

This is going to ruin so many cis women's lives. They had to end it in the 2000's because it resulted in women having their lives destroyed, partners leaving them, family disowning them etc. After some high profile suicides and attempts , they had to stop.

YouTube video by The Bulwark The Most Incompetent Cover-Up EVER? (w/ Bill Kristol | The Bulwark Podcast

Trump's Epstein coverup is failing, as each new frantic step invites fresh questions. And what about the fact that Trump never even feigns--let along feels--empathy for Epstein's and Maxwell's victims? He's a moral monster.

@timmiller.bsky.social and I discuss.

If you were solely going by the headline, you'd be under the wrong impression that this was a trans nurse that did this.

In fact, the trans person at the center of this is a doctor who was harassed by this nurse who constantly spouted racist, transphobic stuff to her colleagues.

Way to go BBC.

MAGA Inches Closer to a Ghislaine Maxwell Alliance Is perpetrating heinous crimes against children too big a hurdle for a political alliance of convenience? Maybe not.

MAGA going pro-Ghislaine (and ultimately pro-Epstein) is its own special kind of horseshoe.

When Safeguarding Bodies Become Dangerous: The AoCPP and the Rise of Anti-Trans Lobbying The Association of Child Protection Professionals role in promoting ‘gender critical’ harm.

Wondering how politicians have become so hostile to trans people?

In part, it’s because they’ve believed professional organisations endorsing ‘gender critical’ transphobes - like the Association of Child Protection Professionals (AoCPP)

What happens when safeguarding is captured harmful ideology?

Hospitals Are Limiting Gender Treatment for Trans Minors, Even in Blue States

CA law is clear: Health systems can’t deny care to trans people.

While I get the terrible situation this fascist regime has created for health systems, denying care to trans kids — WHO RECEIVE CARE WITH THEIR PARENTS’ CONSENT — is just wrong.

Bending the knee to a tyrant only invites more tyranny.

Florida's attorney general targets a restaurant over an LGBTQ Pride event Florida’s statewide prosecutor has subpoenaed records of a popular restaurant after it hosted an LGBTQ Pride event last month that the prosecutor's office says was open to all ages.

Their targeting of health care providers to bully them into not providing care to trans people is just the start. They won’t stop there. They’re coming for anything & everything LGBTQ. They have no boundaries. They want to eliminate us entirely.

Trump’s Epstein scandal is getting worse by the minute and I’m here for it. I love this for Trump. He deserves all of it, everything.

Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.

As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.

Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.
