What’s the Safest Way for Trans Americans to Travel Right Now? The Trump administration’s new policy to discontinue β€œX” gender markers on passports has many transgender Americans wondering if it’s safe to fly.

The Trump Administration's executive order denying trans people accurate passports has made it more difficult and dangerous for people to fly.

While we challenge this unconstitutional policy in court, know your rights before traveling abroad.

⚠️ Rep. Keith Self misgendered Rep. Sarah McBride in a House hearing. McBride clapped back: β€œMadam Chairman.” When Rep. Bill Keating called it out, Self refused to correct himself & shut down the meeting. This deliberate misgendering is a tool of harassment & hate to undermine trans leadership.

⚠️ Texas HB 3817 would create β€œgender identity fraud to criminalize trans people for identifying as a gender different from their assigned sex in work or gov settings. Punishable by 2 yrs in prison & $10K fine. No hearing yet (and not expected to pass) but dangerous & immoral. #TrsnsRights #Texas

⚠️ GOP lawmakers & anti-trans groups are promoting β€œDetrans Awareness Day” in Washington D.C. today to justify bans on gender-affirming care. Detransitioning is rare, but this narrative fuels attacks on trans healthcare.

A major investigation into Genspect, a leading anti-trans parent network. Genspect is one of the funnels into anti-trans conversion therapy and gets inroads into mainstream press like the NYT. There’s one problem though: it’s a farce - and they know it.
