This is fundamentally why this capitulation or compromise game doesn't work. The anti trans side doesn't want some "reasonable" compromise on sports or other issues. They see trans people as less than human who should be eradicated from society. You can't compromise with that.

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:
Total domination does not allow for free initiative
in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali-
tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of
their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence
and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u

This is the final step on the road to authoritarian fascism. If the President can rule by decree and cannot be scrutinized or reviewed by the other two branches, then this experiment in democracy is done.

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters. They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.
This image displays a list of U.S. senators who support a particular issue or bill, with a total count of 60 supporters. Each senator's name is accompanied by their state abbreviation and, in some cases, a quote or comment. The list includes:

1. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada) – with a quote: "It would cause too many Americans to suffer."

2. Dick Durbin (Illinois)

3. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) – with a partial quote: "I will never vote to shut the government down."

4. Kirsten Gillibrand (New York)

5. Margaret Wood Hassan (New Hampshire)

6. Gary Peters (Michigan)

7. Brian Schatz (Hawaii)

8. Charles E. Schumer (New York) – with a quote: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option."

9. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) (grayed out, possibly indicating a different status or emphasis)

Each senator is represented with a small portrait on the left, and the text is formatted with bold headings and lighter subtext. The list appears to be part of a political report or legislative tracking document.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

1. The far right is falsely spreading that a new study shows that surgery "doubles depression" for transgender people. This is an egregious misreading of the study, which does not look at transgender people before and after surgery. Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in.

Every web page ordered restored by the court that features anything related to gender now contains this notice.
A screenshot of an FDA document titled "FDA-2024-D-4245" issued by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. The document includes a highlighted section stating that, per a court order, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must restore a website by February 11, 2025. It claims that any information on the page promoting gender ideology is inaccurate and asserts that there are only two sexes, male and female. It further states that the Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and criticizes its impact on children and women. Below this, the document provides guidance on increasing female enrollment in clinical trials, analyzing sex-specific data, and ensuring generalizability in medical product studies.

Incredible news! The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order. The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care. ACLU statement here:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 13, 2025

 

CONTACT

Gillian Branstetter, gbranstetter@aclu.org

Tom Warnke, twarnke@lambdalegal.org

 

BALTIMORE – In a victory for transgender youth, their families, and their medical providers, a federal district court today issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of a Trump administration executive order attempting to shut down access nationwide to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 19. The decision by Judge Brendan Hurson was issued from the bench with a written order to come soon.

 

The nationwide restraining order prohibits federal agencies from conditioning or withholding federal funding based on the fact that a healthcare entity or health professional provides gender-affirming medical care to a patient under nineteen.

 

“Good and decent parents of transgender kids should never be in the frightening position of having their child’s prescribed, medically necessary care canceled at the whim and threat of a politician. But that’s exactly what President Trump’s executive order did to PFLAG families with trans youth and young adults nationwide,” said Brian K. Bond (he/him), Chief Executive Officer of PFLAG National. “Today’s decision rights a grievous wrong to our nation's families and children, and PFLAG families will be vigilant to ensure our transgender loved ones receive the healthcare they need—as this legal ruling demands.”

 

“Forcing providers to withhold medically-necessary, evidence-based care not only threatens patient health and well-being, but also undermines the integrity of our healthcare system in its entirety,” said Alex Sheldon (they/them), GLMA executive director. “Today's intervention by the court underscores the cruelty and recklessness that is embedded in this order and affirms our commitment to resist the administration’s extremist agenda that targets trans and non-binary young people and privileges political ideology over medical expertise. We are hopeful that…In the first week after the order was signed, some hospitals across the country — in Massachusetts, Maryland, Washington, Colorado, and Virginia at least — abruptly halted medical care for transgender people under age 19, canceling appointments and turning away patients, including some who had been receiving this care for most of their life. This prompted protests of support for transgender youth and in opposition to the order nationwide.

 

On Feb. 4, a lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, the ACLU of Maryland, and law firms Jenner & Block and Hogan Lovells on behalf of transgender young adults and adolescents and their families whose health care has been disrupted by President Trump’s order. Also joining the case as plaintiffs are PFLAG National, the nation’s largest organization supporting LGBTQ+ people and their families, with over 550,000 members and supporters and nearly 350 chapters across the country; and GLMA, the country’s largest organization of LGBTQ and allied health professionals.

 

"Across the country, this unlawful order from the president has sown fear among transgender youth and confusion among their providers,” said Joshua Block, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project. “But today’s decision should restore both their access to healthcare and protections under the Constitution. Providers who’ve suspended healthcare for their transgender patients should be left with no doubt that they can lift those suspensions and continue to provide healthcare and act in their best medical judgment without risking their funding or worse.

 

“The president’s orders sought to take away from transgender young people the very care that they, their families, and their medical providers all agree is best for them – medical care that is evidence-based and well-established. But these decisions are for patients, their families, and their doctors to make, not for politicians or Washington bureaucrats,” said Omar Gonzale…
