If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

Trump takes to socials to say that “transgender for everybody” will “never happen again.” Wild how two of his three big attacks on Democrats is trans people… the Republican Party is obsessed with us.

This is a really important read for many people out there, as this has been erroneously reported. The spending bill DOES ban HRT from Medicaid, which is horrific. It does NOT ban ACA/Private plans from covering it, as Gillian Branstetter of the ACLU lays out in her thread here.

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it. This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1. It now goes to the senate. It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

House Republicans just voted to strip gender-affirming care from trans people of all ages on Medicaid — part of a sweeping budget bill that attacks healthcare for over 10 million Americans. This is not just cruel — it’s a step toward banning gender-affirming care entirely.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid! A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors." Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. The White House has just released a "fact sheet" where it announces that 8 fake "experts" are about to release a federal report opposing transgender care. It also announces investigations on manufacturers has begun. Subscribe to support my journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/white-hous...

1. The Trump administration has announced a joint investigative task force between the Department of Education and Department of Justice to investigate trans students. It will target them in bathrooms and sports. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

Yep

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Don’t ever let anyone steal your joy or your heart from you. You are beautiful you are loved and you are seen. You can be whatever and whoever you want to be. I love you all 💜💜💜

Massive TDOV rally expected today from 4:00-6:00 at the National Mall between 3rd and 4th streets. Go there, I know many who will be there. Be with community and show your support for transgender people. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

Time for a change! I decided (on a whim) that this account should be more oriented towards my experience as a musician and my experience with other musicians. I will, however, stay true to myself and continue to share trans/queer news. It's more important than ever to stay informed <3

And here we go -- Fox News is now saying we should get rid of "due process" because it's too cumbersome. Brian Kilmeade: "But I also think it's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people." www.mediamatters.org/brian-kilmea...

Tune in tomorrow night at 8:00pm! I’ll be joining Kentucky Tonight to discuss HB495, SB2, and the General Assembly’s continued legislative assault on LGBTQ+ Kentuckians.

Hell yeah AOC.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Cherry picking false readings of studies and the anti-trans right, name a better duo. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

1. Finally some fight. "Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly. McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman." Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled. Subscribe to support my journalism.

So now they are arresting people accused of no crimes who are lawful residents of the United States. Wow.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

1. Major news: Remember those "Biological men"/"Biological Women" signs at University of Cincinnati? They have come down thanks to MASSIVE student protests at the college, which have continued. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/university...

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

To answer some quick questions about my latest story: - It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see - It does not impact American citizens - The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States - It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere

If anyone has access to the Marco Rubio cable banning trans athletes from US entry and targeting trans people's visas, please message me. The wording of the reporting here is very vague on if this will apply to ALL trans entrants or only athletes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

1. We are seeing a massive amount of overcompliance with Trump EOs. Nonprofits across the board are erasing transgender people from their websites. Mira Lazine reports on several that have made the decision to do so in her latest piece. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before. LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year. I cover the latest numbers in my story. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

Over 2,000 webpages containing LGBTQ+ information have been removed from federal government websites.

It’s a powerpuff girls kinda evening 🩷💚🩵

Oh I love this

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders. The rubicon has been crossed.

So incredibly proud of regular contributor @miralazine.bsky.social. Erin In The Morning was cited in the state AG lawsuit to try to reopen transgender care for those under the age of 19! This work is essential. Independent journalism is so important now.

Trans is beautiful and will always be beautiful 🩵🩷🤍🤍🩷🩵

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist. 828newsnow.com/news/228822-...

These are the same picture.

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.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

1. Yesterday, Trump released a broad anti-trans executive order that could have extreme impacts on transgender people's lives if implemented. There has been much discussion of what it actually does. In my latest piece, I go line by line to explain it. Subscribe to support my journalism.

No silly paper will ever have a say.

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.

Lmao WHAT!?
