1. We are seeing a massive amount of overcompliance with Trump EOs. Nonprofits across the board are erasing transgender people from their websites.

Mira Lazine reports on several that have made the decision to do so in her latest piece.

The fact these people say all of this with a straight face and know their followers will believe it is mind-blowing to me. 1: I'm not sure we have the number to make a Battalion of trans service members. 2: butt lasers??? We are powerful, but we do not control the whole intelligence apparatus.

The end result of this is trans people can't travel to the USA without the risk of being permanently banned from entering the USA on grounds of "gender fraud".

Already know trans folks in high tech fields who will be cancelling plans to give talks in America.

Let me make it very simple for you

If you've never had a US Supreme Court case decide if you have the same rights as others, you have privilege.

The highest ranking trans person in the federal government was fired last week amid the broader purge. It was certainly political and targeted. 19thnews.org/2025/02/amy-...
She pioneered change over five presidencies. The Trump administration just fired her.
Amy Paris, a transgender official who worked at the highest levels of the federal government, suspects her termination was politically motivated.

Wow a court case that is sensible and has gone in our favour!

GC beliefs ARE like racism
She stood up when a grant was given to the LGB Alliance, GC colleagues complained about her, she was dismissed, then she won her case for unfair dismissal.

Another free idea for the @democrats.org:

Set up a website that archives pre-Trump government resources/websites and keeps them updated with new, reliable info. Every time this trash happens, point people to THAT website.

Don't just whine. ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE. You have ENORMOUS power.
This move to try to erase transgender people from the Stonewall Monument is cruel, pathetic, and historically inaccurate.

Trans New Yorkers played a critical role in the events at Stonewall and in the movement for equality that it inspired.

For extra context, NCMEC runs the massive hashed database of CSAM that companies use to detect it on their platforms. If NCMEC were shut down, CSAM would proliferate everywhere. Not hard to see why the far right would want that while pinning blame on trans people.
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
