This Congress, there's been a disturbing rise in the use of dehumanizing anti-trans rhetoric, including slurs, by US Representatives.
That's why today, @mcbride.house.gov & @repmarktakano.bsky.social led 213 Members demanding Speaker Johnson condemn this rhetoric & enforce House rules of decorum.

Black Americans are 3x as likely as the general U.S. population to be diagnosed with HIV. That's unacceptable.
Our members are committed to ensuring federal HIV prevention, care, and research programs remain funded and do not leave Black Americans behind. #NBHAAD

🚨BAD BILL MOVING🚨
Republicans just advanced a federal trans sports ban out of committee. This bill isn't just dangerous for the trans community—it puts EVERY girl & woman who plays sports at risk.
We urge the House to reject this extreme bill.

Trump’s DOJ needs to get their facts straight. Trans people are already being forced out of the military because of Trump's trans military ban.
We are committed to overturning this policy and codifying explicit protections for trans military service because trans people are #FitToServe.

Last year, our community delt with over 1,000 anti-LGBTQI+ incidents—including vandalism, assault, & threats—with more than 50% targeting the trans community.
No one should live in fear because of who they are or who they love. We must all fight for a future where no one does.

1yr ago today, Donald Trump signed an Executive Order banning trans Americans from serving in the military.
As Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social promises: we won't stop fighting until this ban is undone & we pass long-lasting protections for trans servicemembers into law.

New military recruits who are HIV+ are being shut out of their training by the Trump Admin.
This Admin is obsessed with rolling back our progress on HIV. First they cut funding for HIV prevention & care services & then decimated PEPFAR. Now they're targeting HIV+ servicemembers.

Over the last 365 days, Trump has consistently attacked the LGBTQI+ community—and, in particular, the trans community.
In all that time, he hasn't taken a single step to solve any ACTUAL problems facing Americans, like sky-high costs of living.
Americans deserve better.

Dr. King warned that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
To truly honor his memory, we must all stand up to injustice—wherever and whenever it shows itself.

Trans kids deserve a chance to play the sports they love.
But the Supreme Court could take away that right and open the door to more discrimination against trans folks and LGBTQIA+ people.
No matter what happens, this Congresswoman will always have their back.
