Rather than show one iota of respect for trans students, the University of Kentucky is choosing to throw them to the wolves.
These changes exceed state and federal requirements, pushing trans students off campus and accelerating the housing crisis in our city that UK helped create.
Truly shameful.

UK will no longer offer gender-inclusive student housing under anti-DEI law
University of Kentucky also will no longer offer financial support or resources for identity-based groups or activities.

I’m honestly so tired of the BS around autism and ‘cause’.
I’m yet to see a single case where their motive behind ‘finding the cause of autism’ wasn’t embedded in eugenics.
If somebody goes on about finding the cause of autism, always ask why they are seeking it.

10 out of 305 kids who they had data on (3% or about 1 in 30) went from trans to cis. Most changes were binary trans to gender diverse (nonbinary, genderfluid, etc.). (See table 16)

Don't expect it to last long, though, because the GOP-controlled legislature is back on Thursday.
