⚠️ Rep. Keith Self misgendered Rep. Sarah McBride in a House hearing. McBride clapped back: “Madam Chairman.” When Rep. Bill Keating called it out, Self refused to correct himself & shut down the meeting. This deliberate misgendering is a tool of harassment & hate to undermine trans leadership.

⚠️ Texas HB 3817 would create “gender identity fraud to criminalize trans people for identifying as a gender different from their assigned sex in work or gov settings. Punishable by 2 yrs in prison & $10K fine. No hearing yet (and not expected to pass) but dangerous & immoral. #TrsnsRights #Texas

⚠️ GOP lawmakers & anti-trans groups are promoting “Detrans Awareness Day” in Washington D.C. today to justify bans on gender-affirming care. Detransitioning is rare, but this narrative fuels attacks on trans healthcare.

⚠️ The US Army is using AI, “CamoGPT,” to purge DEIA from training per Trump’s order—likely erasing gender identity & LGBTQ+ references in docs. This accelerates a government-wide rollback in DEIA and may remove protections or recognition of LGBTQ+ service members.

⚠️ Fox News is spreading misinformation about a Journal of Sexual Medicine study on gender-affirming surgery, falsely claiming it causes mental health decline. In reality, the study notes distress is partly due to stigma and lack of gender affirmation, not the surgery. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)

⚠️ The National Park Service has removed mentions of transgender activists and LGBTQ history from its website. Many LGBTQ-related resources are now missing due to federal orders restricting "gender ideology." This erases trans history and weakens LGBTQ visibility in public records. #LGBTQ

⚠️ Trump exploited Payton McNabb’s injury to justify banning trans women from sports, forcing schools to comply or lose funding. This manipulative tactic fuels anti-trans fear while ignoring real issues in women’s sports — like abusive coaching, unequal facilities, and less funding.
