One bright spot for trans people in Montana: Today's SCOTUS decision does not touch Montana. That's because Montana overturned its gender affirming care ban through the state Supreme Court. States are allowed to have protections that go beyond the US constitution, and thus that ruling is unaffected.

The ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti bans health care decisions made by patient & families in consultation with their doctors. Once again, politicians & judges are inserting themselves in exam rooms. This ruling undermines doctors in delivering care to some of the most vulnerable patients in our country.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Some takeaways from our new article on Title VI and antisemitism/antizionism (cc @hellmandeborah.bsky.social) in this @chronicle.com Q&A with @shenandoahkate.bsky.social. Full paper: ssrn.com/abstract=527...
"It's important to me to reclaim some of these concepts," said @beidelson.bsky.social. "Title VI is a real law, and it has real demands, and here's what they are, and they're markedly different than anything the administration is claiming." www.chronicle.com/article/why-...

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Sharing an essay that was accepted for pub in 2022. Often sexism is framed as targeting women. I argue that this conception of sexism is factually incorrect and politically dangerous. The essay offers meditation on the history of feminism — and why true feminists must fight anti-trans oppression.
