y'all i never heard about this
getting your correct hormones in your brain MEASURABLY corrects things at a neurological level
 
Clearly, Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military trans ban has NOTHING to do with equal standards or military readiness — it’s about bigotry.

BREAKING: A federal judge appointed by Reagan rules that many of Donald Trump’s cuts to grants for the National Institutes of Health are now “void and illegal” and declares: “Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"
And he was just getting warmed up…
"I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination,” said District of Massachusetts Judge William Young. “And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."
Many of the cuts were aimed at diversity, equity, and inclusion programs which the MAGA movement has condemned as “woke.” In practice, the Trump administration is entrenching discrimination against people of color and the LGBTQ community — red meat for the white nationalists and Christian nationalists who helped elect him.
In total, Young has ordered the NIH to move forward with disbursement on funding for 357 grants that Trump was trying to kill.
Judge Young condemned the administration’s racist agenda and stated that it’s “palpably clear" that the grant terminations were "designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here — the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community.
“That’s appalling,” he added, stating that he’d "never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable."
"I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?" he said according to Politico’s Kyle Cheney.
Judge Young said that he is Constitutionally protected in speaking out against this discrimination but wondered if he would have stood “against all this” if those protections weren’t in place.
“Would I have said, 'you can’t do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color,” said Young. “The Constitution will not permit that," he said.
“Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?" he added.

Breaking news!
🚨
The EHRC Lied
🚨
. Trans People Got Hurt. Intersex People Got Erased. Now They’re Pretending It Was Just a Suggestion and they are backtracking on single sex toilets?

Baroness Kishwer Falkner needs to resign.

She’s the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and she’s just admitted out loud, in Parliament that they didn’t even think about intersex people when drafting their guidance. She literally said they weren’t included because they’re not named in the Equality Act. So over 1.3 million people in this country just… don’t count?

At the same time, she claimed trans people don’t have a right to privacy. She told MPs that Article 8 the part of the Human Rights Act that protects our dignity and private life doesn’t apply to us. That means the EHRC is now openly saying it’s fine to out trans people at work, deny them toilets, strip them of dignity, and shove them back into the closet like it’s 1985.

Then after causing mass confusion, fear, and real-world harm their lawyers quietly admitted she was wrong. They admitted the law doesn’t require single-sex toilets. They admitted privacy rights do apply. But only after the Good Law Project stepped in and threatened legal action.

That’s the only reason we know the truth.

Let that sink in. A government-funded watchdog told the public one thing, let employers act on it, let trans people be humiliated and excluded and then when challenged, they whispered “Oh, we didn’t mean that.”

Trans people were violated. Intersex people were erased. TERFs helped make it happen.

Let’s be crystal clear: this was never just about toilets.

This was about control. This was about rolling back rights. This was about pushing far-right talking points into public policy under the guise of “clarity.”

And you know who helped them? TERFs. Gender critical feminists. The ones shouting “protect women’s spaces” while aligning themselves with the exact same people who want to take away all women’s rights. You helped install a regime that’s now going after trans people, intersex people, privacy, dignity, and eventually your reproductive rights too.

You didn’t win. You were used. Congratulations.

This is bigger than a backtrack. This is a cover-up.

The EHRC isn’t neutral. It’s been captured. This is a coordinated effort to change the legal definition of who counts. Who gets dignity. Who gets to pee in peace. Who gets to be recognised as human.

The only reason it’s unravelling is because people pushed back.

The Good Law Project is the reason the EHRC is now saying their “guidance” was just a media post. That’s right they published a national legal threat and are now claiming it was just vibes. Meanwhile, people lost jobs, were outed at work, removed from spaces, and told by employers, “Sorry, the law says so.”

If you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention.

Trans people were thrown under the bus. Intersex people were erased from the map. And now Baroness Falkner is pretending this was all just a miscommunication? No. We see it.

We lived it. And we’re not going to forget it.

What you can do right now:

• Fill in the #EHRC consultation. Tell them exactly how this guidance made you feel. Demand accountability.
• Donate to the Good Law Project. They’ve done more to protect us than the EHRC ever has.
• Tag your MP. Let them know trans and intersex rights are not up for debate.
• join us at Parliament on the 25th of June to mass lobby your MP’s with the trans solidarity alliance.

This was never just about trans people. This is about all of us.

If they can erase LGBTQIA+ people, they can erase you next.
 
And just to prove that no good deed goes unpunished

In 1975, a man called Oliver Sipple disarmed a woman who about to kill American president Gerald Ford. Sipple saved Ford’s life by his quick thinking, causing him to become a hero overnight. People began to write about him in newspapers, and digging into his past.

main-qimg-e237b0f9f061d0372cb672dcbf0534ac

Turns out, Sipple was a former US marine, decorated for bravery under fire, and disabled after service in Vietnam. But that’s not all they found out — Sipple was also “outed” as a gay man. The heroic veteran was then disowned by his own parents, who told him they “didn’t have a son” and informed his brother he “didn’t have a brother anymore”. His father barred him from even attending his own mother’s funeral a few years later…

He literally saved his nation’s leader and his life was ruined by newspapers for it. Sued for “invasion of privacy” and lost the case. Oliver Sipple then turned to drink and died of alcoholism in 1989. No good deed goes unpunished.
 
They really had to turn cartwheels to say that this discrimination did not have a disperate impact on trans people. Only on those who had gender dysphoria.

The GOP's idea of small government means small enough to be in the doctor's office with you.

I don't have words for how upset I am about today's SCOTUS ruling that allows Tennesee to ban gender-affirming medical care to transgender children.

Read the dissent and you will understand how the majority had to twist themselves into a knot to determine this case wasn't about sex or aimed at transgender people, but instead about gender dysphoria. Huh?

If a 10 year old child is starting to grow facial hair and it distresses them, what medical options available to them depends on the sex they were assigned at birth. AFAB will be allowed access to testosterone blockers. but AMAB won't be.

And they say this case has nothing to do with sex? It doesn't target transgender people? No strict scrutiny needed?!?

This ruling opens the door to a lot of really bad state policies and will likely affect insurance companies, too.

And transgender adults are not safe either.

I'm a transgender man. It's been more than 20 years since I made the decision to transition. I hate how much we've regressed since then.

I support transgender youth making decisions with their parents and doctors.

Puberty blockers save lives.
 

The Lies and Dangers of Efforts to Change Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity​

"Reparative" or "conversion" therapy is a dangerous practice that targets LGBTQ youth and seeks to change their sexual or gender identities.
So-called “conversion therapy,” sometimes known as “reparative therapy,” is a range of dangerous and discredited practices that falsely claim to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. Such practices have been rejected by every mainstream medical and mental health organization for decades, but due to continuing discrimination and societal bias against LGBTQ+ people, some practitioners continue to conduct conversion therapy. Minors are especially vulnerable, and conversion therapy can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide.

To date, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico all have laws or regulations protecting youth from this harmful practice. Eight of these state laws or regulations were enacted under Republican governors. A growing number of municipalities have also enacted similar protections, including at least 70 cities and counties in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.

On three occasions—April 2019, February 2016, and May 2015—the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) allowed decisions of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding New Jersey’s anti-conversion therapy law to remain in effect. SCOTUS also refused to hear challenges to ....
