I was a kid once. And my biggest regret in life is that I never got a childhood without pain. Politicians should never insert themselves into the personal health care decisions of patients, parents, and their providers—and that includes trans Americans.

We are so thankful these unlawful and hateful state bills were beaten before the SCOTUS decision came down. We will keep fighting to keep Maine safer for trans folks 🫶🏼👏🏻🏳️‍⚧️

On June 18, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against transgender youth and their right to essential health care in landmark lawsuit U.S. v. Skrmetti in a 6-3 vote. See the attached slides for more information on how we move forward.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

We are recruiting for a Steering Committee Member! To learn more about joining the MaineTransNet Steering Committee, please email Steering Committee Chair Jem Hodsdon at [email protected]: we would love to chat with you about your interest in this volunteer position!
