Transphobes seem to be perpetually confused by the difference between adjectives and nouns.

Hopefully people use alt text so mute filters work

A trans person's prior name.

A scanned Supreme Court of the United States order, dated November 6, 2025, in the case Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. v. Ashton Orr, et al., No. 25A319. The document discusses an Executive Branch policy requiring passports to display an individual’s biological sex at birth. The highlighted passage reads: “Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases.” The Court grants the government’s application for a stay at this preliminary stage, reasoning that the government is likely to succeed on the merits and that the policy does not violate equal protection principles.

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.

This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.

I love that the Irish word for November is Samhain

Festival when the boundary between this world and the otherworld blurs (Irish)

Oíche Shamhna Shona! 🧡🖤🧡

I feel like I'll have to work until I drop -.-

I'm so exhausted. It's never been about fairness, it's about stripping trans people's civil rights.

A Halloween story for all you shape-shifters.

Maybe he'll fall down the stairs.

Stopping by for a snack.

I'll just be sittin' here on the group W bench.

So much transphobia buried in this thread. It's so comforting to hear y'all hate us just as much as maga.

I really hope that's the case. I work for a regional state university, and it's scary to see big schools cave. We're already facing a budget crisis, and I shudder to think what'll happen if/when the Trump admin turns their attention on smaller schools.

While compelled segregation is generally impermissible, failing to maintain sex-separated athletic competitions and intimate spaces can also violate federal law. Federally funded institutions that allow males, including those self-identifuing as "women," to access single-sex spaces designed for females-such as bathrooms, showers, locker rooms, or dormitories-undermine the privacy, safety, and equal opportunity of women and girls. Likewise, permitting males to compete in women's athletic events almost invariably denies women equal opportunity by eroding competitive fairness. These policies risk creating a hostile environment under Title VII, particularly where they compromise women's privac¡ safety, or professional standing, and can violate Title IX by denying women access to the full scope of sex-based protections in education. To ensure compliance with federal law and to safeguard the rights of women and girls, organizations should afürm sex-based boundaries rooted in biological differences.

The referenced document contains this paragraph under "What constitutes unlawful segregation".

www.justice.gov/ag/media/140...

7. Both Parties affirm the importance of and their support for civil rights. UVA affirms its commitment to complying with federal civil rights law and agrees to apply Civil Rights Law internally according to the Department of Justice's "Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Diserimination" of July 29, 2025, so long as that Guidance remains in force and to the extent consistent with relevant judicial decisions.

My worry is about this paragraph in the agreement.

Somehow, I don't think it'll go well for them. Patients will lose trust, and Trump's demands won't stop.

Haha, that flew right over my head 😹

So true. IMO, HRT should be available with informed consent, and be covered by insurance. For everyone.

Getting on the right hormones for you is life changing.

It's intentional. It's LGB without T.

Fenway may think caving to Trump will protect LGB patients by throwing trans youth under the bus, but Trump will come for LGB healthcare next.

Even though gender identity and sexual orientation are different things, their political oppression is the same.

I came out at 63, and I'm 72 now. My only regret is not transitioning earlier 😹

Markdown in Teams is worse than not implementing markdown at all.

Are your swords signed or unsigned?

When families with a trans kid lose healthcare, in a blue city in a blue state, where do they go?

So is losing access to healthcare.
