Three active-duty Marines who were part of the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were retained. But the Air Force will not allow transgender servicemembers to have hearings before it discharges them. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Just turned down another great invitation to speak at a conference because it is being held in a state whose anti-trans laws makes it unsafe for me. Conference organizers who wish to include trans voices might consult this map: www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans...

I left the AHA when its council vetoed the scholasticide resolution supported by an overwhelming majority of the membership. I just rejoined to support candidates to democratize the AHA.

I loved this amazing essay by my colleague Erin Chapman about the amazing film “Sinners.” medium.com/@erin.d.chap...

Just posted this image on my door and I'm now wondering if maybe it's too obviously anti-Trump?

In his op-ed for @newsweek.com, Former Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro details how the Trump administration's ban on transgender service members isn't just discriminatory—it's reckless. Read the piece: www.newsweek.com/ex-navy-secr...

In which I try to put it all together. The Hidden Motive Behind Trump’s Attack on Trans People www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/o...

After relentless attacks from the Trump administration on the transgender community, trans Americans and allies from across the country will convene in Washington DC to show we’re not going anywhere. Join us at transdayofvisibility.com.

UPDATE: Reyes now walking through every finding of the studies Hegseth relied on for transgender ban. Virtually every finding cuts against Hegseth's conclusion that it supports the ban. She wants to know why she should defer to his "cherrypicking" and "misleading" analysis.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

My wife, Rep. Zooey Zephyr, is working her ass off in the Montana legislature, railing against bill after bill, day after day. This is just one of many speeches I've watched her give... but it's one of the most powerful. This on a bill that criminalizes us for being trans. Watch her speak.

Their id, bathroom, and other policies make it easier to identify us and their dehumanizing rhetoric makes it easier to do this to us. RIP Sam Nordquist. Know that you are loved. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The federal government has been changing LGBT to LGB as part of its attempt to erase trans people. All of it is quite painful but particularly awful is seeing this change in the NPS Stonewall site, esp bc we played a famously large role in the Stonewall rebellion. www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm

Just gave the “Gulf of America” its first one-star review on google “maps”

Fight the ban on transgender service members! These are are organizations leading the charge: givebutter.com/BannedTogeth...

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

🚨 BREAKING: Lambda Legal and @hrc.org will challenge the Trump administration's renewed transgender military service ban. Thousands of trans service members have been serving openly and courageously for years.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

For those who need to hear it today 🏳️‍🌈

I am not a man. Evan Urquhart is not a woman. No matter what Trump's government said. So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in. So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.

New article on the Cass Review in the New England Journal of Medicine: “Our concern here is that the Review transgresses medical law, policy, and practice, which puts it at odds with all mainstream U.S. expert guidelines.”

The AHA council just vetoed the resolution against Israeli scholasticide, passed earlier this month by an 80% majority. Will we see that they now lose 80% of their membership?

The American Historical Association just voted 428-88 to condemn Israeli scholasticide (destruction of universities, archives, schools). Impossible 10 years ago, unstoppable now thanks to the amazing young historians who came in mass and did the right thing. Never had more hope for our profession.

AHA members can attend the Business Meeting on Sunday to vote on a resolution to oppose scholasticide: www.historiansforpeace.org/scholasticid...

A UK study called the Cass Report is being widely cited in right wing attacks on trans health, including by the New York Times. In fact it has been well established that the Cass Report is biased and flawed. See, for example, this report by Yale medical school faculty: law.yale.edu/yls-today/ne...

The New York Times hates trans people so much that they cite the bogus Cass report as if it were legitimate science.

Excluding any group of women from women’s restrooms and forcing them to use men’s restrooms increases their risk of sexual assault. Republican bathroom politics are brutal misogynist violence. Now I understand why I’ve felt sick to my stomach since last week.

More than 21% of transgender people in the United States have served in the military. That is the highest rate of service of any minoritized group and much higher than the general population. That data is from 2014. The numbers today are likely higher. williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications...

COVID so I can’t present “Windhoek to Gaza” today (😢). Still my mind is racing toward an Anti-Zionist Jewish perspective on German colonialism. Or: the history of Germany perpetrating and enabling genocides, from the C19 to today (😭).

OUT NOW 🎉 “Trans Histories by Trans Historians,” a GHR special issue featuring the work of nine emerging trans historians and the joyful cover art of Two-Spirit artist Milo Ira. Co-edited by @chrisapihlak.bsky.social and yours truly 🏳️‍⚧️ Please share & read open-access here: tinyurl.com/ghrvol12

Presenting “Windhoek to Gaza” at Georgetown this Friday. About repeating genocide instead of remembering it. I’ll post highlights afterwards.

I kinda went off in this one ngl thebaffler.com/latest/the-l...
