State department guidance is now up for transgender people who want to change their gender marker on their passports.
Your window opens NOW to make it happen, with some caveats: data will be collected on changes.
EITM was the first media outlet to report this breaking development for trans people.

Transgender medicaid ban and definition of sex are back in the federal bill - Dems can raise a point of order and force a vote, and as long as we don't lose 7 dems on this, Dems can keep it out.
Definitely worth some phone calls folks.

This means that Democrats will have to raise a point of order on this part of the bill. This would force a vote on the amendment that would require 60 votes. Republicans have 53 Senate seats, so it means they would need to pick off 7 Democrats for this.

Democrats wrestle whether to kill ban on trans care in Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’
Democrats have an opportunity to protect transgender people’s health care. It also comes at a time when Republicans see anti-trans policies as a winning issue, Eric Garcia writes

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.
A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.
This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

There is absolutely no evidence that therapy alone improves the distress of transgender youth and widespread evidence that therapy is useful in conjunction with parental support and access to gender-affirming care.
"Since President Donald Trump returned to office in January, federal policy has shifted to promote psychological therapy as the only treatment for transgender youth in distress." #denver
Trump administration pushing therapy for youth gender dysphoria
President Donald Trump's policy for transgender healthcare has shifted to promote therapy as the only treatment for young people with gender dysphoria. Some experts call it conversion therapy.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal.
It does NOT only affect transgender athletes.
The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

If you care about trans rights, now would be the time to call your conservative democratic senators (or any democratic senator for that matter) and tell them to filibuster Speaker Johnson’s title IX trans discrimination bill.
