I just learnt that ICE will know be able to deport people suspected of being trans. As a member of the community and as a human being, I’m horrified.
Free Palestine, free trans people, free immigrants, free all those oppressed by right-wing ideology 🫶🏼
Love from my small corner of the world 🌸
I just read the horrific news about ICE now being allowed to detain trans people.
If you are a cis queer ally or a cis het ally, we have to rise up and protect them, just as we protected our immigrant neighbors.
I'm holding all my trans homies in my heart and love you forever!🏳️⚧️💗
From Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention America now placed at 3 Red flags 🚩 warning ‼️ ICE goons will be rounding up Trans people starting in Blue States first for Genocide as predicted part of Project 2025 of Trump’s agenda/Heritage Foundation/Steven Miller
the ICE might stating hunting trans people news is like duh. ICE terrorized my neighborhood westlake ktown last year with mini tanks and battle helicopters last year. lots of trans people live here. the news is just catching up to july 2025
The door is open for ICE to start targeting trans people. With all the fuckery with legal licenses and documentation, trans people might be declared as illegally being in the United States.
Trump Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans
Under a new rule, the State Dept will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...
Our January article on the conditions faced by two of the defendants — Meagan Morris and Autumn Hill — also emphasized they are part of a history of resistance to injustice both behind bars and outside them.
That struggle, for Morris, Hill and all political prisoners, continues.
Horrific news. The defendants — including two trans women — are political prisoners persecuted for opposing the atrocities of a fascist regime.
But the Haymarket trial didn't kill anarchism or unions. Rigged, corrupt courts are an old weapon in the hands of tyrants. People always fight on anyway.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

9. This ruling is likely to spread fast: it effectively wipes out the Fourth Circuit’s 2024 Kadel precedent, threatens similar Medicaid cases nationwide, and helps build the legal framework for restricting or eliminating transgender adult healthcare.
8. The ruling comes as Heritage openly pushes adult care bans. After Kevin Roberts said the goal was to “outlaw it” through “radical incrementalism,” this decision appears to hand that movement a ready-made legal framework for dismantling trans adult care step by step.
7. Worse, this precedent reaches far beyond Medicaid. If states may constitutionally “encourage citizens to appreciate their sex,” what stops ID marker bans, drag bans, clothing bans or even forced conversion therapy to "appreciate their sex?" The opinion offers no limiting principle.
6. The court’s logic is hypocritical: it says the ban applies equally to everyone, even though only trans people seek this care for gender dysphoria. As Sotomayor noted in Skrmetti, that is like banning interracial marriage for everyone and calling it equal treatment.
5. The opinion outright says that states can legally ban transgender adult care after applying Skrmetti to adults.
4. More broadly, the ruling signals that courts may treat restrictions on transgender adults’ care as constitutional. It directly states that Skrmetti can apply to adults as well, saying that there is "disagreement among the experts" about trans adult care.
![It is not irrational for a legislature to forgo Medicaid coverage of arguably ineffective and dangerous procedures and allocate its limited resources to covering other treatments. What's more, States may legitimately recognize and "celebrat[e]" the "inherent differences between men and women." Virginia, 518 U.S. at 533 (internal quotation marks omitted). And it is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens "to appreciate their sex" and not "become disdainful of their sex" by refusing to fund experimental procedures that may have the opposite effect. Skrmetti, 605 U.S. at 516-17.
The Supreme Court's decision in Skrmetti forecloses any argument to the contrary. By holding that SB1 passed rational basis review, the Supreme Court made clear that prohibitions on sex-change treatments are not inherently irrational. And West Virginia provided legitimate reasons that rationally related to its policy. Therefore, we find West Virginia's Exclusion easily passes rational basis review.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m65ifh7vn5zdgs7izcmht4gy/bafkreie6baq4m2xemd2sfqgpbchcokinznurztxied4bgyie6mjnfoi6hy)
3. The justices wrote that states may deny Medicaid coverage for what they called “arguably ineffective and dangerous” procedures for transgender adults and may seek to make citizens “appreciate their sex,” endorsing that aim as rational and constitutional.
2. In doing so, the panel extended the Supreme Court's decision in Skrmetti—which held that transgender youth care bans were constitutional—to transgender adults, the first federal appeals court in the country to do so.
The ruling pdf is directly in my story.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Cis men often feel intense attraction towards fetishized others that they are subjecting to discrimination and oppression.
In some ways, destroying our rights makes us *safer* for cis men to be attracted to, as they desire the imbalance of power that lets them control and own their fetish objects.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has ordered NYU Langone Health to restart the Transgender Youth Health Program, saying halting gender-affirming treatment for transgender youth violates state anti-discrimination laws #NOH8
