Why You Need to Hear the Speech That Sylvia Rivera Wasn’t Allowed To Give Sylvia Rivera was met with jeers and boos at one of the very first Pride Parades on this day in 1973. Here’s why that matters now.

On this day more than 50 years ago, Sylvia Rivera climbed onto a stage to advocate for incarcerated trans people at a Pride rally and demanded trans inclusion in the fight for rights.

Hearing her speech is important 50 years later.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: ‘I’m punished for existing’

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.

Toe beans!!!!

Oh I love this

Hypocrites 🤬

The strength of our democracy depends on a system of checks and balances. We cannot allow Donald Trump’s unrestrained attacks on this system and on our rights to go without pushback.

Things I never thought I would have to say to 1st graders:

“No, we don’t extort our friends for dominos!”

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

Press release about MAGA's attacks that states: “Trump’s latest executive order aimed at trans people is, in a word, evil. From forcing the Department of Health and Human Services to publish anti-trans propaganda instead of research, to investigating and prosecuting doctors, to taking healthcare away from the children of federal employees because they are trans, this executive order makes one thing perfectly clear: Trump and MAGA Republicans want trans people dead.” “Democrats need to fight tooth and nail to protect the families and children who will be devastated by MAGA hatred and bigotry. There is no compromise with a political party foaming at the mouth to pass bills that explicitly target whole groups of people just because they’re different.”

Trump and his MAGA Republicans want trans people dead.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

The mask is off with these fucking fascists.

Trump is calling trans military members dishonorable liars, is shutting down gov't funded programs to try to root out trans people, and red states across the country are following suit.

There's barely any pretense to their hateful policy anymore.

Major news:

Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.

It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"

I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.

Shameful.

I'm seeing a few reports of this, but I can't confirm this is widespread. I have been told a separate passport office is no longer processing changes, but new apps will go by your BC and renewals by your current info.

There's a lot of confusion out there on passports and no real answer yet.

NBC White House correspondent reporting that legal experts advise those with passports with x markers may be held up upon attempt to use it.

I CANNOT confirm this but it’s certainly notable that it’s being reported.

Historic. President Biden is fully supportive of what organizers, advocates, and lawmakers have been fighting for.

All Americans should be guaranteed equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.

Pregnant congresswoman blasts "unreasonable" House voting rules Pettersen is pregnant with her second child and will be the 14th member to give birth while serving in Congress.

The Republican Party wants to act like they're "pro-life" but are discouraging members of Congress to grow their families by failing to accommodate them.

Congress should support working parents.

Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing.

Let’s be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home.

Corporate greed is.

The "controversy" is literally just that a trans woman is an RA. That's it. That's what's got Utah politicians up in arms.

They want to make us unemployable and our existence next to (if not outright) illegal.
