Encourage representatives to oppose harmful legislation aimed at stripping trans* individuals of their autonomy, healthcare, and dignity. Offer any time, energy, and resources you may have to give to supporting them through programming, volunteering, and creating safe spaces.

The despicable Executive Orders restricting healthcare access for trans youth under 19 are blatantly discriminatory. We’re grateful our legal partners @lambdalegal.bsky.social & @aclu.org are fighting for trans youth by challenging this harmful order in court 🏳️‍⚧️ ⚖️ www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Thank you to the courageous plaintiffs & our legal partners for challenging Trump's cruel executive order attempting to restrict federal funding for healthcare professionals who provide gender-affirming care for people under 19

The Social Security Administration has stopped allowing people to make changes to their sex identification with the federal agency, I reported exclusively overnight at Law Dork.

The anti-transgender “emergency” change was issued on Friday and went into effect “immediately.”

Exclusive: Social Security "immediately" stopped making sex identification changes on Friday

"Effective immediately, we can no longer process changes to the sex field."

We’re sending all 100 U.S. Senators a copy of Trans Kids, Our Kids, our new book of stories about how trans kids are navigating this difficult time. We hope these books send a message to lawmakers that there can be no legislation about trans kids without trans kids.
