House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud

That includes any race-based scholarships and programs, including any promotion of external scholarships that consider race, and DEI trainings and workshops. Institutions were also told they should no longer prioritize “underrepresented groups” for admissions or hiring, and they must prohibit transgender students from playing on sports teams and using facilities designated for women and girls.

The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

Whenever you hear someone invoke the unitary executive, remember the image below.

This was an inevitable result of the unitary executive theory:
Empowering a president to tyrannically destroy institutions that ensured our government reflects the rule of law rather than his personal whim.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Political violence against transphobes makes transgender people less safe.

This image from HRC goes so hard

This Pride Month, we are shouting loud and clear: THESE COLORS DON’T RUN.

Our visibility has never mattered more, and neither has our strength. And as HRC’s @brandonwolf.bsky.social says, NO president can push us back into the closet.

Should Democrats Throw Trans People Under the Bus? Here’s Why It Would Be Bad Politics

since Politico has started yet another round of "here's how Dems should compromise on trans issues", I'll re-up my November essay about why this is not only immoral & unempirical, but BAD POLITICS:

Lemme guess, does “critical fields” include every STEM discipline?

It was an honor to deliver the keynote at Princeton's Lavender Graduation ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of queer and trans Tigers today.

I'll have more pics and words soon. Our hearts are full; our determination, steadfast.

No, the Democratic Party isn't losing because it's Too Woke:

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.

Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate.

Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Mr Rogers reminds us to look for the helpers.

President Eisgruber is one of those.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

If you won’t negotiate with Democrats or talk to them about the CR, you can’t complain when they won’t vote for it. It’s really that simple.

This is not normal.

25-35: "ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH COMMON-SENSE PROTECTIONS FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN EDUCATION AND SPORTS" www.in.gov/gov/files/EO...

Executive Orders are not law; they are policy directives to state agencies.

Two new executive orders dropped from the Indiana Governor's office this afternoon:

25-36: "RESPECTING THE BIOLOGICAL DICHOTOMY BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN AS FUNDAMENTAL & DEEPLY ROOTED LEGAL PRINCIPLE EMBEDDED IN INDIANA LAW" www.in.gov/gov/files/EO...

Their capacity to just flat out lie is matched only by the capacity of dupes to accept it.

Still here, no matter what you say.

Earlier in the day, we enjoyed presentations of awards to Elena Kagan '81 and David Card *83, as well as this year's Pyne Prize and Jacobus Fellowship recipients.

The 110th Alumni Day at Princeton is in the books, including Queer Princeton Alumni's panel discussion: In the Work: Securing Equity for LGBTQ+ Youth and Students in Disruptive Times. We had invigorating conversation with leaders and advocates for young folks in and around New Jersey. Thank you!

Anti-Trans Headers Placed On Websites Judge Ordered Trump To Restore The headers were placed on major websites at the CDC, FDA, and HHS.

1. After a federal judge ruled that websites containing LGBTQ+ information at the CDC must be restored, the Trump administration did so... but then also added snide and incorrect anti-trans headers to them.

Stonewall protest

I'm here at a protest at Stonewall. A speaker let the huge crowd and press know that park service employees were not responsible for the erasure.

As far as I know, I am the first to break it. I have been refreshing the site twice a day since the State Department scrubbed T off their site.

FYI I noticed the educational resources scrubbed off the Stonewall site Wednesday, and the T pulled off the site early Thursday.

Oh my god.

They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.

"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"

WOW.

Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGBQ+ ...

Today, the US National Park Service removed references to transgender Americans from the Stonewall National Monument website, redefining our community as "LGBQ+" #WeWereThere in 1969
