New: I obtained an internal memo the Pentagon sent the White House about complying with anti-trans exec order
This includes "continuously" monitoring bathrooms for compliance
Also ordered a "review hold" on Stars & Stripes, a nominally independent newspaper

Pentagon Says It Will ‘Continuously’ Monitor Bathrooms to Comply With Anti-Trans Order
An internal memo obtained by 404 Media also shows the military ordered a review hold on "questionable content" at Stars and Stripes, the military's 'editorially independent' newspaper.

My goodness, *Hong Kong* pulled ahead of most of the Southern United States in terms of trans rights. I never thought I would live to see this day.
1/ Hong Kong's High Court handed a landmark victory to the LGBTQ community on Wednesday, ruling that laws barring transgender people from using public toilets according to their gender identity are unconstitutional.

There's a common notion that being ungovernable means being tough, unmovable, etc.
But I'd say that being ungovernable requires agility, the ability to redirect the flow of things, softness that allows us to survive falling so we can get back up and keep going.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.
