Over the last several months, Members of Congress have used increasingly derogatory anti-trans language, and now, 2 Members are calling for trans people to be institutionalized. Speaker Johnson & GOP leadership must reign in these extremist Members & put a stop to this rhetoric.

In partnership with @transequality.bsky.social, Advocates for Youth, @equalityfed.bsky.social, @glsen.bsky.social, @pflag.org, and @trevorproject.bsky.social, MAP's new report details how home, community, school, and health care impact LGBTQ young people. ⬇️ Hear more from youth in their own words.

Good news: last Tuesday, a federal court blocked Trump's efforts to enforce discriminatory restrictions on passport gender markers for trans and nonbinary people in a Lambda Legal case. Passports and IDs should be accurate, not determined by Trump's transphobia. thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

In recent months, many hospitals have ended gender-affirming care services for youth, due to fear around new bans and rules. Extremist politicians put minor patients and their families at risk when they create uncertainty around their care. www.thisweeknews.com/story/news/h...

In this volatile moment, we want to equip you with the knowledge on how to leverage your existing rights and navigate new policy changes. That’s why we’re releasing an updated Trans Legal Survival Guide! (1/2)

JUST NOW: A4TE filed an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case challenging a Colorado law prohibiting conversion therapy for minors by licensed medical providers. The brief features powerful testimony from survivors that show the deep harms sustained by discredited conversion practices. (1/3)

When extremist politicians don't have concrete ideas on how to best serve their constituents, they resort to desperate, ugly attacks on vulnerable communities. It's a truly pathetic strategy.

Earlier this month, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed a bill to safeguard patients seeking reproductive and gender-affirming care. We applaud the MA-based advocates and providers who made this happen!

In a dissenting opinion, U.S. Circuit Judge Jane Kelly wrote there is a "startling lack of evidence connecting Arkansas’ ban on gender-affirming care with its purported goal of protecting children."

Kris Tassone, Policy Counsel at A4TE, says of Trump's takeover: "We see this strategy for what it is—an ongoing campaign to target and harm trans people, immigrants, Black communities, and other vulnerable populations." www.advocate.com/news/trump-d...

Healthcare centers are ending their gender-affirming care services for youth as a result of Trump's cruel intimidation tactics. It's a sign that all healthcare is in jeopardy, while Trump's in office. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Here are 8 great fiction and non-fiction reads to pick up about trans history. Have recommendations? Drop them below! 📚

Faith allyship can be extraordinarily powerful, as faith leaders in Maine showed last month. Thanks to their support, and overwhelming public pressure, all eight anti-trans bills were defeated.

"Bathroom bans" are discriminatory and endanger trans people's lives. They're a good example of extremist legislators wasting taxpayer dollars to pass useless, intentionally inflammatory laws that fly in the face of the values of the majority of Americans.

Due to trans advocacy across the country, the overwhelming majority of anti-trans bills are failing. Clearly, our movement is present and powerful! 🏳️‍⚧️

Some students in our country head back to school this week. Hear directly from trans students navigating their personal lives and educations in a moment where our community's freedom is under threat. edsource.org/2025/fear-an...

We love this piece about the beauty and joy of parenting a trans teenager. 💜

The extreme cuts to Medicaid and SNAP will impact millions. LGBTQ+ people are especially vulnerable to having their healthcare and food assistance cut due to their disproportionate enrollment in aid programs.

The Trump administration is shutting down LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services effective July 17, but there is still support for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. Find resources here:

TODAY: The House is on the brink of passing a budget reconciliation bill that would have devastating consequences for millions, including many in our community. Here are 5 ways the bill could create new barriers in accessing health care: www.npr.org/sections/sho...

JUST NOW: The Supreme Court has issued a ruling leaving in place a Tennessee law prohibiting gender-affirming care for trans youth. Our attorneys are reading the decision and we will have more analysis soon. (1/2)

Despite gender-affirming care being supported by decades of research and many major medical associations, Secretary RFK Jr. sent a letter yesterday warning professionals to instead rely on a lie-filled 400 page report recently released from HHS. www.cnn.com/2025/05/28/h...

Steven Hotze, an anti-LGBTQ+ Republican donor from Texas, has been chipping away at gay and trans rights for decades. His latest crusade is to rollback coverage of PrEP. In a few weeks, SCOTUS is expected to rule on the case. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Memorial Day should be a time for us to honor our service members. Instead, we must grapple with Trump’s harmful new policy targeting trans members of the military – the latest in their attacks against our community. More: transequality.org/resources/un...

And we do continue to honor them, too. By fighting for the rights of all, which includes trans service members: those who gave some and those who gave all.
