Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution.
We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.
A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.
This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

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.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

Heartbreaking news: The entire staff at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)—about 70 people—has been placed on administrative leave. The IMLS is the federal agency responsible for library funding, and this move puts widely used library services like MeLCat and MeL at risk.

just a quick rundown for ya: a “right” is when you have the freedom to do something without being punished by the government
While non-citizens have First Amendment rights, exercising those rights (e.g., protesting or expressing controversial views) can lead to immigration consequences if the government deems the activity a basis for deportation.

1. Media sources are widely reporting Trump's military ban has "a waiver" for trans people.
It does not: It only applies to closeted trans people who have never transitioned and feel no dysphoria.
The ban also forces people to resign or pay back benefits.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal.
It does NOT only affect transgender athletes.
The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.
