BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

here’s just two examples

but they’re all over the press release

they are very clearly publicly saying these federally funded entities should not discuss trans people or gender fluidity

it’s advocating an erasure of a people

that should be the “ick” part, not complaints about slug anatomy

to be honest, consider me disgusted seeing all the liberals be snide and focus on the slug part of this press release

and not the fact they’re publicly trying to defund public media for REPORTING ON TRANS PEOPLE

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.

Quite honestly, I don’t care if a “majority of people” think trans people shouldn’t be allowed to play sports.

Supporting trans people is the right thing to do, and I’m going to do that.

Screw the New York Times
Note that in this article the NYTimes now seems to be only referring to gender identity as a term contained in scare quotes.

i would like cis liberals to consider jokes about hrt/gender affirming care/being declared female by the state hit very differently based on whether or not you're facing the anti-trans gun head on or not

just because the state declared everyone female doesn't mean the state sees you as one...

It’s fascinating to be a trans woman in this moment because there are millions of non-trans men in this country who think our fully-clothed existence is somehow inappropriate — yet these are the same men who have spent the past 72 hours gleefully sharing pics of Bianca Censori on the red carpet.

so we're going to annex gaza, greenland and canada, take the panama canal, possibly invade mexico at the same time we're going to close all of our federal offices, cancel all of our military contracts and launch a future trade war against the entire north american continent

I have been trying to say this for ages like holy shit and this is... YEAH. THIS.
Dear every ally, both celebrity and random.

Hormones cause puberty. Republicans are trying to convince everyone that *teenagers* are too young for *puberty*.

Please bake this into the way you talk about trans youth.

I'm never going to forgive the people and politicians who sat silently while Trump sicced the entire federal government against trans people.

I've said it before, but if you want to advocate for different rules governing how trans people can participate in elite sports but feel like trans people exist and deserve the same human rights as everyone else, you should say so and not form alliances with bigots who want to erase them.
