"Feminist resistance to war, patriarchal oppression, inequality and injustice laid the foundation for the WPS agenda — and principled resistance when the agenda is under attack is the only way forward." As #WPS month kicks off, let's defend our feminist gains and resist anti-gender fear-mongering.

The term "gender ideology" is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTIQ hate, used to strip our community of our fundamental rights by framing our identities as a political choice. And it's going global.

The DC Spirit game yesterday. #FreeDC
Hard to forget the social and political moment in DC and in America in 2025.

But the trans and pride flag combos, the Free DC protests and the drag queen performers definitely made the resistance to the actions unfolding really visible.

The U.S. government is promoting "faith-based counseling" for federal employees diagnosed with gender dysphoria - in other words, conversion practices. truthout.org/articles/tru...

The memo also mandates that insurers cover “faith-based counseling,” otherwise known as conversion therapy.

First it was seven white men on a flyer for the “African family values” conference in Nairobi, and now these shining white faces apparently representing “leaders from across West Africa”?

These ICE agents must be held accountable for an unlawful arrest. That’s step one. Step two is to strip those defending this unconscionable behavior of their power.
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Powerful insights from Fabrice Houdart. "We are told it is our fault. We should have stopped after marriage equality, military service, and workplace protections...but we kept going. We asked for safety in schools, dignity for trans lives, space in the public square." substack.com/home/post/p-...

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

A new piece from @xoxykz.bsky.social on the US government's intersex erasure. Despite Trump's insistence that only 2 sexes exist, "Intersex Americans like me can’t be erased by medicine or the government. We aren’t going anywhere, and we deserve better medical care." www.statnews.com/2025/03/20/i...
Trump administration policies will create worse health care for intersex people like me
“It seems the Trump administration is arguing that people like me are neither male nor female but simply ‘disordered,’” writes Kimberly Zieselman.

Thank you, @motherjones.com , for recognizing intersex people's existence. They are among those being invisibized -- and denied services -- by the Trump administration.
The policy aimed at transgender vets erases standards of care for intersex vets as well. A VA healthcare professional who spoke to Mother Jones said that the agency now seems to have “no official stance on the treatment of intersex people.”
Department of Veterans Affairs ends trans and intersex care directives
