Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report.

Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today.

1. A transgender woman let legislators know she intended to use the bathroom in the Florida Capitol.

A contingent of officers waited for her, and stood outside the door.

When she stepped in, she was arrested and sent to a men's jail.

This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications.

DHS has removed manual guidance barring investigations solely based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

This is a prerequisite to targeting the LGBTQ community with criminal investigations solely based on being LGBTQ.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

In 24 hours we've gotten executive orders attempting to ban gender affirming care, ban recognition of trans youth in schools, ban trans employees in the federal government. It's a full on societal purge of trans people.

They meant it when they said they wanted to eradicate us.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:

It will not be retroactive.

Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.

Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed
“They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.

1. A federal transgender sports ban may be heard as early as Tuesday in the House.

Sources tell EITM that the vote on a Senate filibuster is expected to be "close," with some Dems capitulating.

The ban could apply to dancing, darts, and even chess.

Main takeaways of psbl 2nd Trump admin acts:
1) Appts so far are Right but not virulent anti-trans
2) Many changes need 60 Senate votes (UNLESS in budget bill)
3) Rule changes for education req. lengthy process of public notice
4) School sports ban is very likely
