On this day more than 50 years ago, Sylvia Rivera climbed onto a stage to advocate for incarcerated trans people at a Pride rally and demanded trans inclusion in the fight for rights.

Hearing her speech is important 50 years later.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.
🧵
I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.
#Trans folks in the US who are reapplying for their passport to be fixed. Don't bother. Just had an emergency appointment today (I travel on the 30th) and they cannot issue me a corrected #passport. All decisions regarding this 'issue' are on hold until they receive guidance from the head office.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.

1. Montana’s House has passed an indecent exposure bill that applies only to trans people.

It sets out one standard for cis people that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not.

When he threatened her for allowing trans people in sports, she responded: "See you in court."

The mask is off with these fucking fascists.

Trump is calling trans military members dishonorable liars, is shutting down gov't funded programs to try to root out trans people, and red states across the country are following suit.

There's barely any pretense to their hateful policy anymore.

Major news:

Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.

It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"

I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.

Shameful.

I'm seeing a few reports of this, but I can't confirm this is widespread. I have been told a separate passport office is no longer processing changes, but new apps will go by your BC and renewals by your current info.

There's a lot of confusion out there on passports and no real answer yet.

Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing.

Let’s be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home.

Corporate greed is.
