The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.

I have to say that as a trans journalist it's really incredible to see someone in mainstream sports media as big as Pablo Torre do a story like this. Huge props.
PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

It's bizarre but unsurprising to see so many people waiting with bated breath to see what Ghislaine Maxwell will say to get a pardon whilst ignoring the testimonies of the many women she exploited in a massive sex trafficking operation linked to Trump.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

“The government should be run like a business.”

Denying transgender service members their retirement after 15+ years of honorable service is cruel, unjust, and un-American.

They served with dignity. Now they’re being cast aside. I won’t stand for it—I’ll keep fighting for our LGBTQI+ heroes.

One of the few things I'm absolutely sure of is that there's nothing wrong with being trans. We're just a type of person. We deserve equality because all people deserve equality.

If Hegseth is “proud of our history,” why has the military systematically erased the contributions of women and minorities from the DoD website and prevented any celebration of them?
Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

I'm not offended when Trump supporters try to assert I'm not a Christian. I just feel sad for them. Imagine believing that God's love is so finite and Christ's teachings are so qualified--against all scriptural evidence--that you completely miss the point of what God is and always has been: LOVE.

This is completely disgusting. UPenn was afraid of losing funding, and they've decided humiliating Lia Thomas is a worthy price to pay to save themselves.

Lia Thomas did nothing wrong. She followed the rules and competed fairly and honorably. UPenn's leadership are cowards.

JUST IN: UPenn will strip a trans swimmer, Lia Thomas, of her records and ban trans athletes in women’s sports, caving to Trump admin demands.

To be clear: today's ruling doesn't make it less likely your child is trans, which is the whole objective of the anti-trans movement: fewer trans children by any means. It only makes it far less likely your child has access to lifesaving medical care if they're trans, which has never been a choice.

This ruling prioritizes the discomfort and fear of some non-trans people over the health and wellbeing of trans youth. It disregards science and every major medical authority. It endorses the state controlling parents and doctors. Every resulting suicide is on the hands of these anti-trans justices.

This was never about science or proper medical care.

when people argue that democrats shouldnt stand up for transgender people, i want you to substitute "transgender" in your head with "black" "latino" "asian" or "women" and understand why its a non-starter.

either we all have equal rights or none of us does. this is simple.
