And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders.

The rubicon has been crossed.

It is absolutely understandable to panic, just gotta move through and out of that panic. Feel what I need to feel, register the alarm bells ringing everywhere, but keep going despite/with those feelings.

You need to understand that in 11 days, Trump has advanced anti-transgender policies to near genocidal intensity.

Passports have been denied.
ID documents confiscated.
Banned trans medicine from those <19y.
Essentially banned trans people from using bathrooms.

This is the beginning of a genocide

Great news.

A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now.

Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge.

First win in court, as the case continues.

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care.

How is it inaccurate?

They still provide "mental healthcare."

Read my response.

This project is to create a list of closed, closing, and at-risk of closure DEIA offices, programs, and centers across the US. This list will be kept internal as we try to locate potential collections.

i know despair is letting them win or whatever but sometimes you need to process feelings to move past them. it's ok if you're despairing right now. but please don't make any permanent decisions right now. we are all facing a survival situation now and surviving today is defeating them

They're simply going to stop enforcement of the civil rights act entirely.
🚨 BREAKING: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has REMOVED their pages on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity discrimination.

Legally, Title VII and Bostock v Clayton Co still stand, so it's unclear if the EEOC is just removing it from their website or not enforcing it at all

‼️Mississippi has introduced a bill that would REQUIRE the teaching of state laws regarding "homosexual activities" and that sex should only occur in a monogamous marriage.

The intent was NEVER to stop at trans people in sports.

Now the EEOC's reporting page is still online for now but this is becoming highly concerning that EEO will be completely dismantled in the name of destroying DEIA. www.eeoc.gov/youth/how-fi...

13. That will be all for my read of this EO. It's EXTREMELY broad and its impacts will be felt across Trump's government. Much of it will take time to implement, much of it will be challenged in court. I will stay on top of implementation, and you can follow my journalism to stay informed.

I am not a man.
Evan Urquhart is not a woman.
No matter what Trump's government said.

So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in.

So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.
Trump is reportedly going to sign a piece of paper later today declaring that the federal government of the United States defines me as a woman.

If there's a better encapsulation of how stupid the whole "define woman" thing is and has always been I'd love to see it.
Let's close with a picture. This is me, full body, no filters, no tricks.

What better way to ring in the new year by driving past a man who was just SHOOTING HIS GUN straight up in the air, completely unloading a clip in the MIDDLE of a major city. Absolutely unhinged behavior to begin 2025 with.

Musk's transphobia really hits different when you realize that he ordered all boys via IVF.

He's worse than a bad father, he's a dissatisfied customer.

I thought about it for a day and I guess my main view about Jimmy Carter is that he’s the only guy who seems to have felt adequately guilty about having been President and then tried his best to make up for it
