As regulations change, many trans people have been forced to make difficult financial decisions about where they will make their homes, showing how anti-trans legislation widens existing inequalities. www.npr.org/2025/09/18/n...
New policies are making life harder for trans people — and prompting big financial decisions
White House executive orders and legislation in many states have targeted the rights and protections of trans people. For some, that has meant increased financial worry.

putting the responsibility for changing the hearts of Trump voters on the people most hurt by Trumpism is *complete* bullshit. That's abuser logic.

The Heritage Foundation is urging the FBI to see speech in favor of trans rights as an incitement to violence. Perfectly normal day in our great country.

If I had to name one thing that really terrified me in the normalization of fascist laws, it’s the attack on trans rights.
Too many welcome these laws. But even more just stay silent because they see it as a problem that is confined to this small group. It isn’t. Speak up.

You're watching the death of democracy in real time. Fascism isn't coming, it is here. If you survive it, you will be forever asked by future generations what you did in these moments. Were you speaking out against it or quietly hoping it will just go away on its own.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

I can't make it any clearer that these people want us eradicated. They're angry that there hasn't already been mass violence against us. They want a Kristallnacht where LGBTQ orgs, queer bars, and gender clinics are burned to the ground just like the Nazis they take inspiration from.

this timeline is very clarifying, showing 1) right-wingers immediately promoted the idea the shooter was trans before any evidence, 2) someone within (or claiming to be in) ATF leaked false info to right-wing outlets reinforcing that claim. all of these ppl are evil and the leaker should be fired.

This article was written by the trans-eliminationist Kurt Miceli, director of the deceptively-named "Do No Harm"–an org who's sole stated goal is to rid the world of trans people! The fact that WSJ is elevating extremists like this in their editorials is a sign of how far the paper has fallen.

The Trump regime is moving to declare all trans people mentally deficient and exempt us from Constitutional rights.
They watched Americans accept our elimination from the government, media, schools and teams, with nothing more than shrugs. Every time they took another step, Americans looked away.

The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.
