We started a war and kidnapped a country’s leader because…Elon’s AI told Trump it would be a good idea??? In other words, Elon Musk can manipulate Grok to say whatever he wants, as he’s done before, and Trump…will just do it. What the fuck.

I just received the wonderful news that I've officially regained my Texas voting rights! Yes, it took a month to get this fixed. Texas Republicans are really going all-in for voter suppression this year...

Meanwhile in Texas, Republican-leaning pollster Trafalgar Group has now found Talarico leading as well. Blexas is seriously looking more and more likely…

4. Worse, following sharp criticism from Massachusetts Democrats, he only doubled down, attacking trans advocates for "shaming" him during an interview with CNN.

5. Because birth certificate amendments aren’t always handled by statutes—unlike gay rights issues—histories for many states have remained forgotten. Or at least they did. I've spent the past month thoroughly researching this subject, and here's what that timeline actually looks like:

4. Putting together a timeline based on this conflicting information would result in a map like this, and it puts the average year a state adopted its law at 1994.

Just found out Texas randomly decided to suspend my voter registration yesterday. My county said it's because USPS couldn't deliver my voter registration card. But of course, they've delivered everything else without issue. They're not even trying to hide the voter suppression anymore...

9. Lastly, to measure ‘left-wing authoritarian tendencies,’ the authors asked respondents to rate their agreement with 13 statements. Like before, those statements were highly biased, with only number 9 seeming likely to be agreed with by conservatives.

4. And worse, the authors of the study appear to be just as partisan. The study lists five, and unsurprisingly, all have shown support for conservatism or right-wing causes in the past. Here’s what you should know about each of them:

8. The policy makes Texas the 6th state to entirely ban this care in its prisons. It is also the first to do so without having first passed legislation and the first to do so without any warning or announcement. Here’s a map of what those policies look like:

9. But despite these facts, the Needle claims that their conclusion, that the revocation is due to her political affiliation, is “the conclusion supported by the most evidence.” Except, aside from the examples listed above, the only other evidence provided is essentially a process of elimination:

9. Suspiciously, the court orders section returned between August 28–30, just 8–10 days after the ban's implementation, but now only including orders “indicating an official change of name.” The “and/or gender changes” language, which legally remains in effect, was and still is nowhere to be found.

Aleksandra Vaca @transiticsnews.com · 20/07/2026

8. Since §15.24's implementation in May 2008, gender change court orders remained listed as acceptable documents on the DPS' website, even navigating two site overhauls without issue. However, archives show it abruptly disappeared on June 7th, 2024—a mere 2.5 months before the ban went into effect.

Aleksandra Vaca @transiticsnews.com · 20/07/2026

7. The rule in question, 37 TAC §15.24, was amended to “restrict the acceptable court orders” to two types: “official name and gender changes.” After receiving no public comments, the proposal was adopted without controversy a mere two months later, and it has remained in effect since.

11. As for the ‘goods’ in question, Yenor is unequivocal: children. In fact, he dedicates 2/3rd of his answer to these questions on fertility alone, and he asserted that "High-intensity exercise increases infertility; moderate exercise assists fertility more than any other approach to exercise."

Lindsey Graham was anti-gay and even that couldn't hide his ladybugs. Look, anti-trans Trump official Dr. Oz, you can't hide HRT breast growth forever. Just come out already. It's no big deal. ...it's two big deals.

8. On Tuesday, HB 2009 was signed into law by Governor Mike Kehoe. Effective yesterday, it now governs the Missouri DOC’s operations—as well as the lives of the trans people in its custody. It also makes Missouri the 6th state to pass a law entirely banning gender-affirming care within its prisons.

6. But while Kansas’ law might be the most extreme example, what it accomplishes isn’t unique. Just this year, a record 6 states (striped below) have passed laws or adopted policies restricting gender markers on driver’s licenses, bringing the total number of states with these policies from 4 to 10.

Anti-trans group ‘Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender’ is trying to weaponize my anti-trans Dems tracker. So I took it down. To them, I say this: you—and all other supporters of the gender-affirming care ban that nearly killed me—don’t get to value my work if you don’t value my life.

The GOP-led US House passed a ‘don’t say trans’ and forced outing bill today. Aside from requiring parental consent when changing a trans kid's pronouns/name, it also bans schools from "teaching or advancing concepts related to gender ideology." These 8 Democrats voted for it. Shame on them.

@cwnewser.bsky.social One did: HB 2009, an appropriations bill containing a ban on care for trans people in prisons. It passed both chambers and awaits the governor's signature. As someone who has covered trans prison issues extensively: this absolutely counts as an anti-LGBTQ+ bill.

Aleksandra Vaca @transiticsnews.com · 06/05/2026

Virulently anti-trans Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams, widely considered to be Ohio's most anti-LGBTQ+ politician, just lost his bid to win the GOP nomination for Ohio's 9th U.S. House District, a swing district held by Democrats. Transphobia was his whole personality and now he's unemployed.

2. This move follows months of reporting on a potential trans gun ban, and aside stating that "individuals completing forms required by this part should select their biological sex," the rule specifically adds a clause requiring that forms—and the sex field—be "executed under penalties of perjury."

2. The ruling comes as part of a case that centers around Montana's policies banning gender marker changes, and it leaves in place an injunction blocking the policies. Writing for the majority, Justice Laurie McKinnon argues that Montana's bans are sex discrimination based on transgender status.

Apparently this pro-Russia, pro-Maduro Venezuelan website decided to just republish an article of mine under MY NAME without my permission. I should make it clear: I don’t associate with hypocrites. While this site hates Israel, it still supports Russia in its genocide. To me, that’s unacceptable.

2. Aside from explicitly excluding LGBTQ+ families, the resolution also attempts to claim that children raised in same-sex households are more likely to live in poverty, have addiction and mental health issues, be incarcerated, and have violent tendencies.

4. Finally, I've also tallied each state's total score and mapped the results. Honestly, I'm really surprised by Montana and Alaska!
