BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect.

This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.

Today’s Supreme Court decision on US v. Skrmetti has an immense impact on transgender youth and their families. To every transgender and nonbinary youth, every parent, every family, know this: PFLAG will never back down from this fight. We’ve got your back, now and always.

Today is the 9-year anniversary of the largest targeted attack on LGBTQ+ people in the United States; the Pulse Nightclub massacre. 49 people were murdered and 53 more people were wounded.

We will always remember and mourn the tragic loss of life in a place that was once a refuge for many.

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it.

A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn.

Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold.

The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans
The disinformation on transgender youth healthcare is extreme, and many people hold weakly held opinions on that care. I talk about how to move the needle with those who are uncertain.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

The latest from S. Baum.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year.

Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally.

I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data.

Share widely.

Some good news and good reporting.
1. In a major ruling, a federal court has ruled that Trump's executive orders banning funding to orgs that promote "gender ideology" is likely unconstitutional.

This will help protect or restore funding for LGBT centers who are plaintiffs.
