Here's everything this bill targets.

A screenshot of a document section titled "Bathroom restrictions:" with four bullet points.
Designate all public and government-owned multi-occupancy restrooms and changing rooms as single-sex, with exceptions for those accompanying someone under 10 or someone with a disability.
Allow individuals to take legal action against whoever maintains the restrooms and changing rooms if they encounter someone who they perceive to be of the opposite sex.
Allow students and employees in both K-12 and higher education to take legal action against school districts if the student encounters someone who they perceive to be of the opposite sex in a restroom or locker room.
Allow the attorney general to take action against any proprietor of a public space for allowing violations of a single sex restroom facility, up to and including civil penalties.

A screenshot of a document section titled "Name and pronoun restrictions:" with two bullet points.
Ban school and higher education employees from addressing a minor by a name other than their legal name (or a derivative) or using pronouns that don't correspond to the minor's "biological sex."
Prevent school, higher education and government employees and students from being disciplined for not identifying their pronouns or for misgendering or deadnaming trans students or employees.

A screenshot of a document section titled "Restrictions on sex markers on documentation:" with five bullet points.
Mandate that all Ohio birth and death certificates have a sex marker listed on the documentation.
Ban changing a sex marker on all marriage and divorce documents.
Ban changing a sex marker on all birth certificates.
Ban changing a sex marker on all death certificates.
Language about "biological sex" was inserted twice into sections of the law pertaining to driver's licenses. Although there is not explicitly a restriction, ban or change to sex markers on these licenses, the insertion of language on "biological sex" into this particular section should be noted.

I'm not complaining about the ease of talking to someone far away in real time, but we didn't get rid of the means to write each other - we can actually do both! It feels strange that we don't, as if we sacrificed a part of romance to the new gods of distraction and urgency. 4/4

With so many options for communication available today, from short text messages to phone or video calls to the occasional email, how often do any of us sit down with the intention of clearly describing our feelings for another person? We favor the near immediate over the time consuming. 2/

I had fully expected to have to wait to hear back from PhD History programs that I applied to. This morning I was informed that I have been accepted to the program I really wanted at SUNY Binghamton! One less thing to stress over in my final MA semester.

February is going to be tense. Not only do I have course requirements and TA requirements and end of program requirements to fulfill - I also have to sit in the silence of not yet knowing if I'm accepted to any of the PhD programs I applied for.

I've meant to be a lot more active on here, but between research, applying for PhD programs, personal issues, and the expected rigors of grad school I just haven't had the spoons. I think that I have a finished list of 8 schools to apply to now. We'll see!

It’s really important that people understand this isn’t just a matter of markers. There is no record. Without recognition, not only is there no healthcare, gender-concordant housing, or basic protections against discrimination, for many people they will simply cease to officially exist.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms. This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

Screenshot of a tweet by J.K. Rowling replying to Mark Adam Harold. Mark's tweet asks, "How are you planning to police public toilets?" J.K. Rowling responds: "Quite easily, really. Decent men will stay out, as they always have, so we can assume all who don't are a threat, given their disregard for women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. Photographing, reporting and disseminating such men's images online will be a piece of cake." The tweet was posted at 10:51 PM on June 21, 2025, and has 216.9K views, 298 comments, 1.2K retweets, 10K likes, and 152 bookmarks.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? American newspapers in the 1950s and 60s were more affirming of transgender people (if they were white and feminine) than papers in the 1990s.
