"Project 2025 director Paul Dans told the Australian Financial Review that he thinks a second Trump administration 'will adopt' many of the initiative’s radical right-wing proposals. He also suggested that even if Donald Trump loses, Project 2025’s ideas would live on through the conservative establishment."

Quoting the Australian Financial Review story, "Project 2025 wants to eliminate the use of public funds for transgender surgeries and abortion and step up prosecution of anyone providing or distributing abortion pills by mail." https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/what-a-second-trump-presidency-could-bring-20240407-p5fhxn

“An SUV jets up Interstate 70 heading north of D.C., its wake transforming an oncoming string of green mile markers into side-view mirror radioactive trail dust.

“Sandwiched between a sticker-speckled dashboard and a rear window brimming with overnight bags, the car’s passengers have settled into the comfortable familiarity of a four-hour road trip, plushies and hoodies transforming cramped to cozy. 

“But the energy in the car is far from sleepy—rather, the cabin crackles with animated dialogue, as members of D.C. and New York bands Ekko Astral and Crush Fund discuss the perpetuation of misinformation about the transgender community in the mainstream media. Rising stars in the East Coast underground punk scene, the two bands feature mostly trans women in their lineups, lending them a unique perspective on the climate of trans rights in America today.”

“'I saw three trans people at the airport,' the caller to Utah State Auditor John Dougall’s office about the state’s transgender bathroom bill said. 'I don’t know what they were doing, plotting some sort of trans thing, I guess. Probably some sort of trans coup or something. Go to the airport; you’ll find them.'

"That’s just one of thousands of trolling reports that have flooded Dougall’s office since he opened an online form to report violations of Utah’s new law that requires transgender people to use the bathrooms and locker rooms designated for the gender they were assigned at birth.

"On Tuesday morning, Dougall released a sample of the bogus reports that have flooded his office since last week."

"Dougall says nearly 12,000 submissions have come into his office since last week. By his estimate, reviewing those has eaten up hundreds of hours of work and taken employees away from their regular duties."

"A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments in September in a battle about whether Florida violated federal laws by blocking Medicaid coverage for transgender people seeking hormone therapy and puberty blockers.

"A hearing is slated the week of Sept. 16 in Birmingham, Ala., according to a notice issued last week by the appeals court."

"The lawsuit was filed in 2022 on behalf of two transgender adults and the parents of two transgender minors after the state Agency for Health Care Administration adopted a rule that barred the coverage. The lawsuit was updated last year to include a new state law that similarly prevented coverage."

I find this article very hopefully for those of Us that wish to be able to have offspring post grs. However since it's post date is 2018 (originally) for online publishing I'm not sure how things have changed. Some further research into UTx has shown successful transplant AND live birth of cis women so it seems just a matter of time before trans men and women can option to either donate or receive reproductive anatomy.

“A challenge of Tennessee’s law dealing with the use of public school restrooms and locker rooms by transgender students remains alive after a federal judge declined to dismiss all claims against the state education department and Williamson County Schools.

“U.S. District Court Judge William Campbell denied the state’s request. . .to dismiss the child’s claim of a violation of rights under the Equal Protection Clause. 

“The judge, however, granted a request to dismiss the child’s claim that her Title IX rights were violated. The ruling notes that because the federal law allows schools to maintain separate restrooms for ‘the different sexes,’ requiring the child to use the restroom based on her biological sex doesn’t violate Title IX.

“The judge also dismissed the child’s request to correct all records to reflect her female gender.”

"The case against the Tennessee Department of Education and Williamson County Schools involves a 9-year-old transgender child who was male at birth but identifies as female, according to court filings. The child uses 'she/her' pronouns and lives socially as a girl by wearing her hair long and dressing in a manner usually associated with girls."

“Campbell denied the child’s request for an injunction against the school district to stop it from enforcing the state law.

“Yet the judge opted not to dismiss the child’s claims under the Equal Protection Clause, which prohibits a state from ‘denying to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws’ and prevents government discrimination that ‘either burdens a fundamental right, targets a suspect class or intentionally treats one differently than others similarly situated without any rational basis for the difference.’”

"Two Ohio lawmakers running for reelection, whose transgender opponents were nearly disqualified from the ballot, are now advancing a bill to expand who can question a candidate’s legitimacy.

"House Bill 471 would allow any eligible voter, regardless of party affiliation, to formally protest a political party’s candidate, while current law only allows an individual to challenge a candidate who is part of their same party. The legislation also doubles down on existing Ohio law requiring candidates who changed their name within five years to circulate petitions with their current and former names."

“More LGBTIQ people in Europe are now open about who they are. At the same time, they face more violence, harassment, and bullying than before. This is especially true for younger LGBTIQ people, who are particularly vulnerable. These are some of the findings of the latest survey of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), based on responses from more than 100,000 LGBTIQ people across Europe.”

“The key findings of the survey include:

“Openness: over 1 in 2 are now open about their sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics. But most still avoid holding hands with their same-sex partner in public. . . .

“Discrimination: over 1 in 3 face discrimination in their daily life because of who they are. This is a slight decrease from 2 in 5 in 2019. Yet, discrimination remains invisible as only 1 in 10 report incidents.

“Violence: over 1 in 10 experienced violence in the 5 years before the survey, slightly more than in 2019. Over 1 in 3 intersex people were attacked.

“Harassment: over 1 in 2 were victims of hate-motivated harassment, up from 1 in 3 in 2019. 2 in 3 intersex and trans people were harassed.

“Bullying: over 2 in 3 say they were bullied at school, across all generations and in all EU countries. This is a steep increase compared to 1 in 2 in 2019.”

“‘Conversion’ practices: 1 in 4 say they were forced to go through conversion practices to change their sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.”

Harassment and violence against LGBTIQ people in the EU on the rise 

"A group of Republican-led U.S. states filed a lawsuit seeking to block the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from enforcing broad legal protections for transgender workers.

"The 18 states filed the complaint in federal court in Knoxville, Tennessee, late Monday. They said the federal workplace bias agency lacked the power to assert that federal law requires employers to use transgender workers' preferred pronouns and allow them to use bathrooms that match their gender identity.

"The commission last month updated its guidance on workplace harassment for the first time in 25 years, including positions that reflect a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said discriminating against gay and transgender workers is a form of unlawful sex bias.

"The EEOC in the guidance said denying accommodations to transgender workers amounts to workplace harassment based on sex.

"But the states in their lawsuit said federal law is much narrower, protecting workers from being fired because they are transgender but not requiring employers to take affirmative steps to accommodate them."

US states sue over EEOC's policy on transgender workers

"In early May, Democrats in the [New Hampshire] House defeated the 'Honesty in Education Act.' The bill was the latest effort to require public school teachers to answer parents when they ask about changes to their child’s gender identity. 

"But another bill is moving forward that supporters say would give parents more control over their children’s instruction in schools – and opponents say would intrude on classroom instruction.

"House Bill 1312 would allow parents to opt their children out of any 'instruction or program of' sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression."

"Separately, the bill would prevent school districts from requiring that teachers withhold information from parents about their child’s well-being – including information about their sexuality. Individual teachers could still choose not to answer questions from parents about their child’s sexuality, but school districts could not make it a blanket policy under the bill.

"The legislation, which passed the House 186-185, appears likely to clear the Republican-led Senate, too; the Senate Education Committee voted to recommend that it pass, in a 3-1, party-line vote. 

"Supporters say the bill would give parents a greater say in how their children learn about sensitive topics. But opponents said the bill would empower discriminatory views against LGBTQ+ people, and that the notification process would be disruptive to teachers."

"A U.S. appeals court in Denver is set to hear arguments Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by six members of a University of Wyoming sorority who are challenging the admission of a transgender woman into their local chapter.

"A judge in Wyoming threw out the lawsuit last year, ruling that he could not override how the private, voluntary organization defined a woman and order that she not belong.

"The case at Wyoming’s only four-year public university has drawn widespread attention as transgender people fight for more acceptance in schools, athletics, workplaces and elsewhere, while others push back.

"In their lawsuit, six members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority chapter challenge Artemis Langford’s admission by casting doubt on whether sorority rules allowed a transgender woman."
