EqualityPAC has backtracked on endorsing at least one Dem candidate who promoted trans oppression.
Take this as a sign that trans people & our allies should become even louder, and demand Democrats fight for us.
The Congressional Equality Caucus has released the following statement in response to our story indicating they will not back candidates who "scapegoat transgender people."
Kaptur does not appear as of this morning on their endorsed list.
Several who took the same vote as her still do, sadly.
BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, rejects DOJ's request to immediately implement BOP's policy on medical care for trans prisoners that would seek to end such care.
Wilkins (Obama) & Garcia (Biden) are in the majority; Walker (Trump) dissents.
The anti-trans policy will remain blocked for now.
Democrats' refusal to hold Amy Acton accountable for her recent anti-trans pivot enabled this.
You cannot ask trans people to just ignore or look past stuff like this, you need to stand with us now. This gutter bigotry is unacceptable and disqualifying.
Candidates like this *are* the greater evil
Holy shit.
Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
This is getting out of control.
Republicans have made their endgame clear: banning healthcare for trans people of all ages.
Attacks on care for trans youth are the wedge strategy in a broader campaign to erode our rights.
Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.
The New York Post published a story of a legal win for a detransitioner that has the anti-trans crowd celebrating; but what is the real story?
@valorievandieman.bsky.social digs into the facts of the story here!
🚨Anti trans activists have launched a campaign urging PAS to keep their anti trans panel this weekend! (See images)

1. Major alert: Trump's anti-trans co-author Moti Gorin will be presenting with Kaltiala and Montante. These are conversion therapy advocates with intense anti-trans ties to hate groups around the world.
Now they'll be teaching pediatricians THIS FRIDAY.

🚨Massive: The AMA has issued a statement saying that they still fully support gender affirming care and don’t endorse the new ASPS position!
They say that their media misinterpreted their statement regarding surgeries and their position remains unchanged!
Link below:
Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”
It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.
4. Claim: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons broke from scientific consensus on transgender healthcare, proving the consensus was always hollow.
Fact: The ASPS statement was done at the behest of Trump admin officials by a president who was a major donor, bypassing the expert working group.
1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people.
This time, it comes from Jesse Singal.
I fact check it in my latest piece.
End your NYT subscription, and put it towards people doing good work on the issue.

#DeTransLaw Personal Thoughts:
Varian v. Einhorn Verdict: $2 Million
Liability: 70% Psychologist ($1.4 Million), 30% Surgeon ($600K)
Anti-Trans zealots are completely misinterpreting and exagerating what this verdict means for both GAC and other Detrans Lawsuits, so here are some of my thoughts:
I asked around and this does appear to be a deliberate style change. It wasn’t announced to staff, but contentious style changes often aren’t. They’re just imposed by the standards desk when they review a story. (Take that for what it is) This desk btw is run by Patrick Healy, no friend of trans ppl
