The ICAO is who you need to lobby if you want to remove gender from all passports altogether, which is why American trans activists have largely focused on the ability to update/change your gender marker

1. In a major update, the Trump administration has reversed course publicly, and now says "all passports" will remain valid until they expire for transgender people. This comes after many outlets reported a message that indicated passports could be revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

Firings at Condé Nast hit trans journalists hard. When union representatives attempted to question the decision, they were fired in what the union says is illegal retaliation. That and more trans news leading off the week this Monday AM. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Attorney Barbara Schwabauer explains her decision to leave the Justice Department's Office of Civil Rights rather than comply with a Trump administration order to subpoena the medical records of transgender teens

Nearly 6 million US households have utility debt “so severe” that it will soon be reported to collection agencies. apnews.com/article/trum...

I'd advise American trans people to stay clear of GenderGP unless you absolutely have to They have a reputation here in the UK of being awful. Low doses, AI to do prescriptions and when there's a fuck up (there usually is) AI is used to fix it Its an awful service. Cash over care

A new NYT piece on Trump’s bigoted anti-trans passport edict leans heavily on the notion that polling supports his gender ideology. That’s a simplistic and largely unsupported reading of scarce polling. Read this analysis of polling by @alysbrooks.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

For over 150 years, trans people have used courts to change legal sex. While writing Before Gender, I found what may be the first case in the US: a formerly enslaved trans woman in Georgia in 1869. Her story shows that trans people found legal support long before the word transgender even existed.

Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job. The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

DOJ is attempting to weaponize the privileged and confidential communications with private counsel and plaintiffs who brought lawsuits against gender affirming care. Attorneys at DOJ Civil resigned rather than targeting trans youth and their providers. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Please say someone rushed the stage and punched him in the mouth

Absolutely the fuck not.

“…community patrols, rapid responders, school escorts, vendor buyouts, honking horns and blowing whistles…” Chicago is showing us a blueprint right now

CMMS is also gutting LGBTQ+ healthcare right now, but heaven forbid AMA mention that. either. Nope, let’s just turn over America’s trust to Dr. Oz.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Megyn Kelly is trying to distract everyone from her support of pedophiles by attacking trans people.

I’m gonna disagree with this one. What we’re calling “AI” doesn’t replace cognition. It replaces pattern matching, but on its own has no idea which patterns are important or why. We are nowhere close to an actual thinking machine.

Imagine that. Ignore the fearmongering. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/14/n...

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

pope's a coward and didn't want to get his ass blasted

Turner Classic Movies is airing an 11-film exploration of trans identities in movies hosted by the authors of Corpses, Fools, & Monsters (great recent history of the topic) starting tomorrow at 8

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.

Hakeem Won’t endorse or even utter the name of New York Cities new mayor because he is Muslim but Hakeem will try to fellate a literal white supremacism who helped attempt an insurrection. These democrats are fundamentally dangerous people and must be removed from power in any capacity.

What we're seeing with Republicans turning on Trump is in no way a repudiation of Trumpism and the Republican white nationalist project, but instead the effect of these people realizing the regime failed to consolidate power as promised and Trump is physically deteriorating in public view.

slapsgiving challenge slap as many of your right-wing relatives as possible this november

This lady is not your friend.

I love this. Sincerely, A Trans Woman

16 Nov 2025 - 60k UK women sign open letter of trans support: "We reject – completely & categorically – the discrimination & exclusion of trans ppl. Those who continue to target this minority do not speak for us or represent our interests. They never have. They never will." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

It would seem Jeffrey Epstein was moonlighting as a consultant to men held accountable by MeToo, offering advice to Brett Ratner and Woody Allen. "With all these guys getting busted for harassment, i have moved slightly up the reputation ladder and have been asked everyday for advice"

No one should suddenly have to be an expert in bioethics to know which hospital will let them make crucial lifesaving decisions at some of the most stressful times in their lives.

This CAP report goes into depth about the problem, and also notes: “Roughly 1 in 5 Catholic hospitals in the United States do not explicitly disclose their religious affiliation on their websites, and only a small percentage of those disclose how that affiliation might affect patient care.”

Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

doing my best to find the little moments of joy in every day but sometimes I think “should it really be this hard?”

I am so angry all the time and sometimes I’ll be like “why am I always so fucking angry?” and then I remember that it’s impossible not to be angry at the moment

do you ever feel like interacting in any way with society right now is unfathomably triggering? like horrors beyond human comprehension are just in your face all the time? like all the therapy gains you’ve paid for just get toppled over and over again every day? I love existing

Local “Leave Our Kids Alone” ringleaders/ perennial political candidates apparently have nothing to say about the kids trafficked and abused by some of their favorite people and party leaders.

Happy Sunday 📖

Just in case you think this is hyperbole.

You do not have to clap for the transphobic, antisemitic, islamophobic racist just because pedophilia is a bridge too far for her! You can just not!

I swear to god, y’all better not be on her side, she’s still a piece of shit who I hope leaves the public stage and never fucking returns I still hope she fucking rots

My question is who is doing all the Epsteining for these powerful wealthy men now?

Too often mutual aid requests stall while a person is alive, and then when they pass the goal is met quickly. It’s hard to ask for help and as a community we need to commit to helping in life & in death. We need to fund treatments, housing, food & caregivers… not just funerals.

They definitely had ChatGPT brainstorm these names.

In Texas, a new law has redefined “parental rights” to mean that a single parent now has the right to remove a book from libraries district wide because the the story of a boy unicorn with eyelashes offends them.
