Trans Day of Visibility should be a day of joy, but it feels somber this year. The onslaught of attacks against trans folks seems endless, so I just want to say this:
Trans people deserve respect, freedom, and autonomy. They deserve to live their lives as their true selves without fear.

Under the new policy, departments are prohibited from sharing statements through university channels expressing solidarity with others or seeking to advance a particular position on a matter of public concern.
U of M board of regents prohibit faculty statements on ‘matters of public concern’
The approved resolution prohibits U of M departments from issuing statements on “matters of public concern or public interest,” after some departments expressed solidarity with Palestinians in 2023.

This move will make it harder for students to get the financial support they need to go to college. Which will likely lead to fewer degrees. And yet, this administration--with its "merit" obsession--will likely imply that these students don't "deserve" degrees if they can't figure it on their own.
This is who was fired from the union workforce at the Department of Education yesterday. Every single number is a person who served the nation and whose life was wrongly disrupted. That's the first tragedy, but it's clearly not the only one.

Science funding is an intersectional issue. Don't downplay this administration's stance on gender-affirming research. This research not only protects the health of trans Americans, but is also evidence against anti-trans bills.
