Neuf d’entre eux ont été condamnés à 5 ans de prison.

One of the telling things for me is how consistent the messaging has been over the years that affecting cis women should be the motivator to oppose these policies, and yet trans women being fully pushed out of sports has been almost ignored as an injustice.

BROWN

5. Addressing government requirements for "male" and
"female" defnitions for athletics and on-campus housing,
as well as limits on gender-affirming care

As we have for decades, Brown has agreed to abide by Title
IX and NCAA eligibility rules regarding the participation of
transgender athletes in intercollegiate sports. We also
committed that the University will continue to provide
housing and restroom access in a way that allows for gender-
inclusive, women-only and men-only options.

The agreement also states, The University will not perform
gender reassignment surgery or prescribe puberty blockers
or hormones to any minor child for the purpose of aligning
the child's appearance with an identity that differs from his or
her sex."' The University will refer affected students who seek
care from Student Health Services or the University
Pharmacy to area specialists. The agreement does not affect
medical teaching or training, and does not apply to clinical
services provided by health systems that are separate entities
from Brown, such as Brown University Health and Care New
England.

We remain fully commited to serving the health needs of all
Brown students in a manner consistent with our long-
established policy of nondiscrimination, which includes sex,
gender identity and gender expression. The LGBTQ Center,
Student Health and Wellness Services, and other offices in
the Division of Campus Life, as well as the Warren Alpert

Brown University is caving to Trump.

They are banning trans women from female bathrooms, dorms, locker rooms, and sports across campus. They're also cracking down on trans care for minors, though that is unlikely to be broadly impactful since it's a university.
