THE KANSAS SENATE ATTACKS TRANS STUDENTS AGAIN! SB 76 DOES NOT just apply to minors -- it explicitly specifies that "minors and students" in any educational institution are subject to this. It also applies to EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE of a school or college too! Read more: tlcks.org/2025/02/06/s...

Massive protest at Children’s National in DC. A former patient is speaking who they used in promotional to show how much they care about trans kids. Now the hospital is one of a small few nationwide complying with trumps unlawful EO to end trans care.

These past two weeks have been overwhelming. To help get everyone caught up and on the same page, we've just posted our end of the month recap for trans rights in January 2025. Read it here: tlcks.org/2025/02/02/j...

1. The EEOC acting chair, Andrea Lucas, has announced that a private business transgender bathroom ban is her top priority. This comes in the wake of a slew of anti-trans executive orders. Latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/eeoc-chair...

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.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

@asukafield.xyz Hi! This is an account that represents a trans-run organization. I was live posting hearings on two anti-trans bills earlier today for people to follow what's happening. I think I accidentally got labeled as transphobic when I was doing that. Can I have that label removed?

We're here at the House Committee meeting on HB 2071! This one is even more packed than the first. Stay tuned for updates.

It should say something that at hearings like the one for SB 63, almost all the proponent testimonies are from non-Kansans who get paid to testify at hearings like this while the opposition is made up of Kansans who are taking time off of work to testify because it means that much to them.

We are live from the SB 63 hearing! We'll be posting updates as they happen. Stay tuned!

Right after we posted this, the Kansas House introduced HB 2071, the same bill as SB 63, and scheduled a hearing. The linked post has been updated with the information you need to know for that as well.

🚨🚨 URGENT ACTION 🚨🚨 Kansas is attacking trans youth and state workers once again. We need YOU to stop them! SB 63 would ban trans healthcare for minors -- and endanger social transitioning! Click the link to learn how to stop it! tlcks.org/2025/01/23/u...

🚨 ANTI-TRANS BILL ALERT🚨 Today, Senator Renee Erickson introduced SB 63. Essentially a rehash of SB 233, this bill bans medical transition for minors -- and bans state buildings & employees from "promoting" transitioning, medical OR social, to minors. kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...
