The Trump Administration's executive order denying trans people accurate passports has made it more difficult and dangerous for people to fly. While we challenge this unconstitutional policy in court, know your rights before traveling abroad.

A historic ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will make it easier for LGBTQ+ parents to secure legal rights over their children. The ruling established “intent-based parentage” as a new path to legal parenthood. www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

BREAKING: A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against Donald Trump’s discriminatory ban on trans servicemembers in the military, blocking the ban for now. Congratulations to our friends @gladlaw.bsky.social & @nclrights.bsky.social, who brought this case!

We’ve just received tremendously good news! U.S. District Court Judge Ana Reyes issued a nationwide preliminary injunction in Talbott v. Trump, NCLR’s challenge to President Trump’s cruel ban on military service by transgender people.

Conservatives are not backing down. In today’s episode of The Mess, @imarajones.bsky.social focuses on the latest anti-trans legislation from states like Texas and Alabama. But political wins are happening in states like Montana, where trans rep. Zooey Zephyr is joined by unlikely allies to resist

Transgender, gender-nonconforming, nonbinary, and intersex people (TGNCNBI) might be wondering what they should know following recent discriminatory changes to passport & federal ID policies. We’ve updated our identity documents resource page with developments. ➡️ lambdalegal.org/tgnc-checkli...

⚠️ Rep. Keith Self misgendered Rep. Sarah McBride in a House hearing. McBride clapped back: “Madam Chairman.” When Rep. Bill Keating called it out, Self refused to correct himself & shut down the meeting. This deliberate misgendering is a tool of harassment & hate to undermine trans leadership.

⚠️ Texas HB 3817 would create “gender identity fraud to criminalize trans people for identifying as a gender different from their assigned sex in work or gov settings. Punishable by 2 yrs in prison & $10K fine. No hearing yet (and not expected to pass) but dangerous & immoral. #TrsnsRights #Texas

⚠️ GOP lawmakers & anti-trans groups are promoting “Detrans Awareness Day” in Washington D.C. today to justify bans on gender-affirming care. Detransitioning is rare, but this narrative fuels attacks on trans healthcare.

“They still have my passport, but even if I were to get it back, I’m not sure I could travel with it,” said Ebling, who works for Lambda Legal. “It’s basically like transgender folks have been put on an informal travel ban, unable to leave the country that so despises us.” via @washingtonpost.com

BREAKING: We're suing President Trump over his executive order prohibiting gender-affirming care for people in federal prisons. We'll see Trump in court to protect access to life-saving health care for people in federal custody.

⚠️ The US Army is using AI, “CamoGPT,” to purge DEIA from training per Trump’s order—likely erasing gender identity & LGBTQ+ references in docs. This accelerates a government-wide rollback in DEIA and may remove protections or recognition of LGBTQ+ service members.

Californians — and ALL Americans — need leaders who have courage in their convictions, and who will show up for them, in the faces of people who want to see us all back in the closet.

San Francisco Chronicle@sfchronicle.com

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signaled wariness about allowing transgender athletes to compete on girls and women’s sports teams in a conversation with a conservative Donald Trump ally.

⚠️ Fox News is spreading misinformation about a Journal of Sexual Medicine study on gender-affirming surgery, falsely claiming it causes mental health decline. In reality, the study notes distress is partly due to stigma and lack of gender affirmation, not the surgery. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)

The study analyzed 107,583 trans adults & found higher rates of depression & anxiety post-surgery, but did not conclude surgery caused this. Instead, it emphasized the need for gender-sensitive mental health support. Fox News ignored this key finding to push an agenda. (2/3)

Major medical organizations, including the AMA & APA, affirm gender-affirming care improves well-being for trans people. Fox News' misrepresentation fuels stigma & harms trans individuals seeking care. Don't fall for their misinformation—fact-check & uplift real research. 🏳️‍⚧️ (3/3)

⚠️ Missouri lawmakers debated a bill to ban trans residents from updating birth certificates, arguing they are "historic documents." This bill endangers trans people by forcing mismatched IDs and follows broader GOP efforts to restrict trans rights statewide. #TransRights

⚠️ The National Park Service has removed mentions of transgender activists and LGBTQ history from its website. Many LGBTQ-related resources are now missing due to federal orders restricting "gender ideology." This erases trans history and weakens LGBTQ visibility in public records. #LGBTQ

Miss Major has been fighting for transgender rights for decades. She participated in the 1969 Stonewall Riots, became involved in grassroots community organizing, and served with several HIV and AIDS assistance organizations. This Women's History Month, we honor her as a leader and mentor.

⚠️ Trump exploited Payton McNabb’s injury to justify banning trans women from sports, forcing schools to comply or lose funding. This manipulative tactic fuels anti-trans fear while ignoring real issues in women’s sports — like abusive coaching, unequal facilities, and less funding.

⚠️ Donald Trump told Congress he wants to end the “lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body,” denying trans identities. His remarks echo escalating attacks on trans youth and could fuel more anti-trans policies. #TransRights

⚠️ Donald Trump falsely claimed $8M was spent on “making mice transgender” while mocking government research. His remarks, met with GOP laughter, misrepresented federal spending and reinforced anti-trans rhetoric amid growing legislative attacks. #TransRights

⚠️ West Virginia’s SB 154 would ban teaching about LGBTQ+ topics in schools and require staff to report trans students to parents. Teachers could be punished for not complying. A proposal to let teachers appeal penalties was rejected. #lgbtq

Trans youth deserve the same chances as their peers to learn through athletics. That’s why just last night, pro-equality lawmakers helped DEFEAT a cruel ban on trans youth participating in sports. Let’s keep building our momentum: hrc.im/100
