My goodness, *Hong Kong* pulled ahead of most of the Southern United States in terms of trans rights. I never thought I would live to see this day.
1/ Hong Kong's High Court handed a landmark victory to the LGBTQ community on Wednesday, ruling that laws barring transgender people from using public toilets according to their gender identity are unconstitutional.

To expand on this for those out of the loop, the idea of someone transitioning is unique to the person, and usually involves trying to remove obstacles that cause discomfort or dysphoria. For some, that requires medical treatment, and holding that back is tantamount to manslaughter.
The fact that you're trans even before you transition is 1) a fact, 2) essential to make transition possible for people, 3) not remotely an argument that trans people are fine if they can't transition. It's a cruel distortion to claim that "you're valid" means "you'll be fine without HRT".

This! We’ve personally noticed that calling reps- that targeted protesting can have massive impacts.
It sucks that we have to fight, but we are not helpless!

There are 2 storylines here:
- The one that paints a picture of despair.
- The one that paints a picture of action.
One says, "This is what's happening. There's nothing we can do about it."
The other, "This is what's happening. Unless we stop it."
Knowledge is power IF we create action from it.

I'm going to say, I really don't recommend that any trans person actually does try to get a passport right now. You have to fill out a newly introduced form that, essentially, affirms you're a trans person, and I don't trust what they could do with that kind of registry.

It may even have penalties for parents, according to local organizers.

Trump was always whining about the weaponisation of the DOJ (against him). This indicates something far worse not just the #trans community but for anybody in the #USA
Last week, the Department of Justice subpoenaed over 20 doctors and clinics for transgender healthcare records, what does this mean for our privacy?

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.
This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.
