My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation.
I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism.
Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Donald Trump is waging war on trans people—and the state laws meant to protect them aren't strong enough.
Our Trans Protections Aren’t Strong Enough for the Trump Era
Many states have passed so-called “shield laws” to protect trans people. But they weren’t designed for a presidency like Donald Trump’s.

Reps. Jayapal, Raskin and Scanlon are circulating the following letter about Mahmoud Khalil (leaked to me) among congressional colleagues, source says. Draft unambiguously condemns the arrest, saying it's based on an "obsolete Cold War-era" law

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...
But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

1. Major news in transgender care.
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.
They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.
Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
![Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote.

The way we fight for (and against) bathrooms affects the whole panoply of trans issues. If one is a specter, a ghoul incapable of using public space, one is much easier to banish to the margins.
The Right to Pee Is Everything
Trans peoples' basic right to exist in the world is under assault. Bathrooms are at the heart of that fight.
