Donald Trump orders trans women inmates to be housed with men: “There will be rapes”

,

In his latest assault on transgender Americans, President Donald Trump has ordered federal prisons to house transgender women in men’s facilities and halt their gender-related healthcare. The directive follows an executive order Trump issued on his first day in office declaring the federal government would recognize only two “immutable” sexes, male and female.   The executive order, titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” also applies to immigration detainees in federal facilities. It does not address trans men held in detention. The directive requires all gender-related healthcare for trans women inmates to […]

Virginia lawmakers pass marriage equality, abortion & voting protections

,

Virginia is poised to take a historic step toward enshrining marriage equality in its state Constitution, as the House of Delegates approved a measure to repeal the state’s ban on same-sex marriage on Tuesday. While marriage equality is federally protected under the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges and the 2022 Respect for Marriage Act signed by President Joe Biden, the move addresses concerns about potential threats to LGBTQ+ rights, given the U.S Supreme Court’s increasingly conservative stance. The amendment would strike down the outdated language in Virginia’s Constitution that prohibits same-sex marriage. The language was added in 2006, during a time of widespread opposition to LGBTQ+ rights […]

Trump’s definitions of “male” and “female” are nonsense science with staggering ramifications

A few hours after taking the Oath of Office on Monday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order purporting to redefine “male” and “female” by fiat. The order, with the cumbersome title “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” instructs all executive agencies—including those governing education, health, housing, and employment—to use new definitions of “male” and “female” in every aspect of their work: (d)  “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell. (e)  “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small […]

Elon Musk and other billionaires exploit LGBTQ+ hate for profit, GLAAD CEO tells Davos audience

,

GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis took aim at Elon Musk during a panel discussion of business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, warning that his consolidation of power and influence is fueling attacks on LGBTQ+ people and other marginalized groups.  Speaking at the “Open Forum: Protecting LGBTQI+ Lives” on Thursday, Ellis tied Musk’s actions to a broader pattern of billionaires targeting vulnerable communities while enriching themselves. “We know that algorithms are where the money is made, and the hate algorithms are the better ones,” Ellis said. “What we’ve enacted is free speech for algorithms, not free speech for citizens.

LGBTQ+ mental health crisis center says calls have surged with Donald Trump’s inauguration

,

As President Donald Trump delivered his second inaugural address on Monday, LGBTQ+ youth across the nation turned to crisis hotlines in record numbers, according to the Rainbow Youth Project USA Foundation. The nonprofit group reported over 1,400 calls to its national hotline by early afternoon—a significant surge that coincided with Trump’s speech and the anti-LGBTQ+ policies he outlined.

State Department to suspend passport applications seeking sex-marker changes

Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed the State Department on Wednesday to suspend all passport applications seeking to change a sex marker and all applications requesting an “X” sex marker, according to a memo reviewed by NBC News.  The memo references an executive order issued by President Trump hours after his inauguration, declaring that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female, and that “these sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”  “The executive order specifies government-issued identification documents shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female,” Rubio’s […]
