"Feminist resistance to war, patriarchal oppression, inequality and injustice laid the foundation for the WPS agenda — and principled resistance when the agenda is under attack is the only way forward." As #WPS month kicks off, let's defend our feminist gains and resist anti-gender fear-mongering.

The term "gender ideology" is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTIQ hate, used to strip our community of our fundamental rights by framing our identities as a political choice. And it's going global.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signs law restricting bathroom use by trans, nonbinary, intersex people The Republican Legislature passed the anti-trans legislation earlier this month.

Some intersex people do not produce eggs or sperm. Greg Abbott has now prohibited them from using any public bathroom, designated female or male, in Texas. www.advocate.com/texas-bathro...

Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters.

The DC Spirit game yesterday. #FreeDC

Cheering for the Spirit, for Pride, and for a Free DC!

I would love to see this proactive approach from the city in my own local food desert, Ward 7 in DC.

Trump Admin Memo Bars Federal Health Plans From Covering Gender-Affirming Care The memo also mandates that insurers cover “faith-based counseling,” otherwise known as conversion therapy.

The U.S. government is promoting "faith-based counseling" for federal employees diagnosed with gender dysphoria - in other words, conversion practices. truthout.org/articles/tru...

First it was seven white men on a flyer for the “African family values” conference in Nairobi, and now these shining white faces apparently representing “leaders from across West Africa”?

These ICE agents must be held accountable for an unlawful arrest. That’s step one. Step two is to strip those defending this unconscionable behavior of their power.

If you’re in DC for Pride, come join us at this event at Howard on Wednesday evening, featuring queer changemakers from across the African continent.

A queer life Blaming LGBTQ+ people for the backlash they are experiencing is now all the rage.

Powerful insights from Fabrice Houdart. "We are told it is our fault. We should have stopped after marriage equality, military service, and workplace protections...but we kept going. We asked for safety in schools, dignity for trans lives, space in the public square." substack.com/home/post/p-...

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

A Beacon Shines in the Storm: European Court of Justice Advances the Human Rights of Trans People

Trump administration policies will create worse health care for intersex people like me “It seems the Trump administration is arguing that people like me are neither male nor female but simply ‘disordered,’” writes Kimberly Zieselman.

A new piece from @xoxykz.bsky.social on the US government's intersex erasure. Despite Trump's insistence that only 2 sexes exist, "Intersex Americans like me can’t be erased by medicine or the government. We aren’t going anywhere, and we deserve better medical care." www.statnews.com/2025/03/20/i...

Thank you, @motherjones.com , for recognizing intersex people's existence. They are among those being invisibized -- and denied services -- by the Trump administration.

Hungary Intensifies Global Onslaught Against LGBTIQ People with Shameful Pride Ban

Two days left to submit a comment to the State Department on its discriminatory passport regulations, which would harm trans people's freedom of movement and expose them to a heightened risk of discrimination and violence. I took 2 min to say so - will you? www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
