#trans policy
Note
As a fellow trans person, do you by chance have an up to date map of "safe states" in the US? bc as someone who lives in florida and is getting Very Concerned about my health and safety, i can't seem to find any that are more recent, and i don't trust trying to google that shit rn.
This is up to date as of April 2.

LMAO
edit: turning off reblogs because some of the people that are reblogging are extremely fucking moronic. holy shit
#anti jk rowling#anti harry potter#1) she's not being removed because 'she spoke up about biological sex' she actively influences anti-trans policies#2) it's not misogynistic to remove her. the fact that she's a woman doesn't have ANYTHING to do with her removal#3) the people reblogging this in approval don't 'cry when an artist isn't credited' this isn't the same fucking thing.#this is as the article says (if you know how to read 🤭) the quickest solution to reduce her impact#this bitch doesn't just hurt trans people. it's clear in her books that she's a white supremacist and she's also antisemitic#and she said dumbledore is gay for clout. it's fucking obvious. stop defending this woman and get a life-#-or get involved on the side of trans people#or just generally drop the fucking series you read as a middle schooler. nostalgia isn't more important than the lives of trans/jewish ppl

message to all trans people please survive
#i've been thinking a lot about nex benedict and brianna ghey's murders#and how they were both sixteen. and i can clearly remember the fear i felt when i was sixteen#because i had no idea how people would react to me coming out as trans. it was so unpredictable#idk how to say this. the warning signs have been there the whole time#and these are just 2 reported cases.#how much blood on their hands do people in power need before they realise their policies are killing people#killing children#i can recognise my 16 year old self a lot in nex and brianna#it's just haunting. the only time you hear about trans people in the news is when they're dead or being mocked

US politicians enabling hate crimes and war crimes and still acting like they have the moral high grand is mind blowing
#nex benedict#palestine#actively backing up the terrorist state of Israel and sending them all sort of help#the blatant trans phobia in the policies and the behavior demonizing them to the point of encouraging others to murder them#pro life BS and ignoring women's autonomy and everybody else's#still claiming they are actually the good guys#I don't know how us americans tolerate it at this point to change the situation and making it better you guys need a fucking revolution#overthrow the government and everything#I as an outsider see no other solution because let's be honest all of your politicians are corrupt in millions ways you can't change them#trans rights#free palestine

Someone I otherwise respect a lot just posted this and I’m feeling so hurt right now. Trans women aren’t the only ones being forcibly misgendered by Florida’s policies. The case that was won was even literally about a trans man, Tyler Copeland, who was being horribly harassed with feminine terms and jokes about his transmasculinity. To erase us from this narrative and act as though this only or even primarily affects trans women is just further marginalizing us within our own community. She’s a journalist and will likely write a whole article on it, so I left a comment and am holding out hope she will be more open about how it affects us in the future. It wasn’t intentional harm, I’m sure she just didn’t think about us — but that’s the whole issue. It illustrates how normalized it is to fixate on trans women and leave out other trans folks, both inside and outside the trans community.
#transandrophobia#transmisogyny#intracommunity issues tag#mine#to clarify obviously I’m super excited abt this case & recognize the transmisogyny in how these policies were pushed#that doesn’t make erasing the harm done fo trans men & non-binary people acceptable#this is just her initial response so we’ll see how it progresses#she didn’t mean any harm by it I’m sure — but this kind of thing is so normalized in trans communities I’m sure she just didnt think abt us

turns out, i fit in pretty well with the riot grrrls because i, too, enjoyed angrily screaming about womanhood. the difference that went over my head at the time was that, generally, most of them hated being girls due to sexism, and i hated being a girl due to gender dysphoria.
ill never forget the angry punk girls who made me who i am, even as i outgrew a subculture that centered femininity. they helped me survive my teenage years, and ill always be grateful for the introduction to intersectional feminism
#was thinking about this lately#saw bikini kills post ab trans and gnc riotgrrrls and it made me feel seen#i know the scene has been criticized for being trans exclusionary#bikini kill in particular playing at a festival that had a transphobic policy#it makes me sad a lot of people are hesitant to get into the scene because of that#kathleen in particular has said she regrets that#it means a lot to me that she tries to make the scene inclusive#and she’s also raised money for lgbtq+ charities#i love that the movement is still alive and ppl are making an effort to diversify the scene#riot grrrl#transgender#trans#punk subculture#transmasc#punk#feminism

“detrans” people have literally nothing valuable to say about the trans experience just as people who identify as “ex-gay” have nothing valuable to say about being gay. when you people stop being mouthpieces for mainstream violent transphobic rhetoric, when you stop taking interviews and participate in documentaries whose sole purpose is to argue that trans people need to be restricted from seeking medical care and social support, when you stop framing transition as mutilation of the “natural” human body, is when you can start being treated with anything other than hostility by the trans community. but until that point do everyone a huge favour and shut your fucking mouths
#if you look at the social and economic conditions trans people live under#and your biggest policy suggestion is to further restrict#transition care. you are a fascist full stop.#even old new york was once new amsterdam#transphobia tw

Considering that women critical of self id in women’s sports are threatened and harassed Yes we do need more men to stand up do this. TRAs know the difference between men and women when it comes to who they can intimidate.
A male powerlifting coach self-identified into the women’s category and broke the Alberta women’s bench press record in an apparent effort to protest gender self-identification policies in sport.
Avi Silverberg, a powerlifting coach who has worked with Team Canada, self-identified as a woman last week to participate in the women’s category at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet held in Lethbridge, Alberta. Silverberg was attempting to highlight the unfair advantage males have when competing in women’s athletics. In participating in the Saturday event, Silverberg unofficially broke the Alberta women’s bench press record for the 84+ kilograms category.
The Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) announced a gender self-identification policy earlier this year, explicitly allowing any males to participate in women’s competitions on the basis of “gender” alone.
In February, the CPU’s “Trans Inclusion Policy,” was released, containing an explicit statement that the CPU supported allowing transgender powerlifters to participate in the sex category of their choosing based on a guidance from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES).
“Based on this background and available evidence, the Expert Working Group felt that trans athletes should be able to participate in the gender with which they identify, regardless of whether or not they have undergone hormone therapy,” the document reads, deferring to the “inclusivity in sport” guidance from the CCES.
The official women’s bench press title holder in the 84+ kilograms category is Anne Andres, a trans-identified male. Andres was in the front row and witnessed Silverberg’s demonstration at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet.
Andres is a biological male athlete who identifies as a “woman” and regularly participates in female weightlifting competitions. Andres has won eight out of nine competitions he has entered in the women’s category, and is listed as a female on the Open Powerlifting rankings site.
In February, just prior to the CPU’s announcement of a gender self-identification policy, Andres gained significant notoriety after sharing a video of himself appearing to mock female athletes, asking why female powerlifters were “so bad” at bench press.
In the video, Andres is seen sitting on a bench in a gym, leaning towards the camera in a casual manner and speaking directly into it.
“We all know that I’m a tranny freak,” Andres jokes about himself before going on to state: “… I mean, standard bench in power lifting competition for women, I don’t understand why it’s so bad.”
Riley Gaines, a spokeswoman for the Independent Women’s forum and an accomplished All American swimmer, shared a clip from the viral video on her Twitter in February, captioning it: “Anne Andres (male who identifies and competes as a woman) doesn’t understand why female powerlifters are so ‘bad’ at bench press… well idk Anne, but maybe it’s because you have 20 times more testosterone than them. Just a thought…”
ICONS Women, a campaign group dedicated to defending the rights of female athletes to single-sex sport, was first to post the clip of Silverberg at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet on Monday, drawing attention to his act of defiance.
Speaking to Reduxx, ICONS Women noted that Silverberg’s demonstration provided insight into the end result of gender self-identification policies in sport.
“What Avi so obviously points out is that policies allowing men access to women’s sports completely remove any integrity in women’s competitions,” the organization said.
“It doesn’t matter how Avi expresses himself or perceives himself. He clearly does not belong in women’s sport, and neither does any other male regardless of their motivation for wanting to participate.”
While some were confused by the display, others praised Silverberg’s ironic application of the CPU’s “Transgender Policy.”
“I can’t get enough of this guy, Avi for prime minister. It takes real balls to do this. I said this all along, any man can change their documents to say they are a woman then go in and take records. Finally someone did it for the women and proved policy is a disgrace,” one Twitter user wrote in response.
Many echoed the sentiment, calling for more male athletes to do the same.
Women’s athletic competitions have become a major issue in the debate on gender ideology and its impact on women.
The issue mounted in public attention after a trans-identified male swimmer, Lia Thomas, began breaking women’s records and winning medals intended for female athletes in 2021. Since then, there have been several instances of trans-identified male athletes taking the podium in women’s sporting events.
Amidst growing pushback, the World Athletics recently announced they would be prohibiting transgender athletes who have undergone “male puberty” from competing in women’s world ranking competitions. During a press conference last week, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe cited scientific consideration and fairness for female athletes, stating he and the organization “believe the integrity of female category in athletics is paramount.”

ATTENTION ALL VIRGINIA RESIDENTS!!
Your governor is currently trying to pass updated student model policies that mean, basically:
All schools must require a written consent form from parents in order to use a different name/pronouns for their child, and students currently using different names and pronouns will be forcibly outed to their parents.
As you can imagine, this is a Living Hell for all trans students. HOWEVER: YOU CAN HELP THEM!
There is currently a 3 day comment period ending TOMORROW AT NOON. email [email protected] with comments AGAINST the policy!
They’re also meeting on december 19 at 10am (get there early- around 8:30 so you get a seat) in the Pocahontas Buidling Senate Room A (900 East Main Street, Richmond)
There are anti-trans organizations going to the committee meeting as well, show up if at all possible so you can, to show power in numbers.
YOU CAN HELP TO KEEP TRANSGENDER STUDENTS SAFE! PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE THIS POST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!
#trans rights#student rights#virginia#glenn youngkin#transgender rights#politics#model policies#fight transphobia#virginia senate#signal boost#please boost#its not too late yet. you can help us.#trans#transgender#important#us politics#uspol#lgbt#lgbt rights#queer rights#transgender activism

Why are you, as a "save our children" adult, bringing your KIDS to a protest to denounce their own rights? You're letting your KIDS scream hate, and literally spit at people. Your children just advocated for genocide against trans fellow youth, and said we should just go to war if we're so upset. Your fucking KIDS are saying this because YOU taught them to. You're accusing US of being the groomers, yet you force your kids to protest things they don't even understand? When we chant that "Children Have Rights" and your KIDS are screaming back "No We Don't" because that's what YOU'VE taught them? Disgusting display.
