“When the Department of Public Safety changed its policy to block transgender Texans from changing their sex on driver’s licenses this past summer, the agency set up an internal email address for employees to report sex-designation change requests.

“Using Texas open records laws, The Dallas Morning News obtained 542 pages of documents sent to the DPS email address.

“More than 70 pages contained emails from DPS employees, including two dozen that were heavily redacted, making it unclear what information they contained. But 17 pages were tied to court order submissions, including four copies of partially redacted court orders.”

“The rest of the emails were devoted to criticism and spam.”

“Planned Parenthood of Illinois has repeatedly been hearing the same question from transgender patients since Donald Trump won the presidential election.

“Patients want to know how many refills they can get of hormone therapy medications, which they often need to maintain their health and certain physical characteristics.

“‘We’ve definitely had people ask, “Can you send me four years of medications”’ said Mallory Klocke, director of the Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy program at Planned Parenthood of Illinois.

“Many Chicago-area hospital systems and health care organizations provide gender-affirming care, and a number provide such care to patients under age 18. It’s unclear how those hospitals and providers would survive, or whether they would continue to provide that care, if Trump pulled their Medicare or Medicaid dollars — major sources of funding for most hospitals and health care providers.”

“Acclaimed Taiwanese fiction writer Li Kotomi came out publicly as transgender after social media posts forced the issue by revealing her background.

“‘I was assigned the wrong gender when I was born, and I later corrected it to female,’ Li told The Asahi Shimbun on Nov. 25.

“Li, 34, said she ‘fled to Japan’ in 2013 after she experienced bullying and discrimination because she was transgender.

“‘I could not live with peace of mind in Taiwan,’ she said.”

“Li said she found herself outed on social media platforms such as X after she won the prestigious Akutagawa Prize in 2021 for her ‘Higanbana ga Saku Shima’ (The island where red spider lilies bloom).

“The posts were initially limited to Chinese but later appeared in Japanese.

“A civil case is pending over the postings by those living in Taiwan, Li said.

“Like many other trans people, Li did not want to disclose her gender transition.

“Li previously refused to discuss whether she is transgender, calling it a ‘despicable question.’

“‘I am a female and lesbian,’ the writer said. ‘The fact that I am transgender is not something that forms the essence of myself.’”

“Li said she has fulfilled her dream of becoming a novelist and ‘survived’ until today even as she suffered repression and discrimination for being a sexual minority.

“‘I came out as a result of being outed, but I hope that my existence will give hope to someone,’ she said.”

Taiwanese writer Li Kotomi comes out as transgender after being outed

“A single 15-minute argument in the middle of this week could change Chase Strangio’s life – and the lives of so many people like him in the United States.

“Strangio, an attorney for the ACLU, is set to make history Wednesday as the first known transgender person to argue before the US Supreme Court. And he’ll do it as part of the most high-profile dispute on the docket this session.

“The case, US v. Skrmetti, challenges a Tennessee law that bans treatments, including hormone therapy and puberty blockers, for transgender minors and imposes civil penalties on doctors who violate the prohibitions. Some two dozen similar laws have been enacted in recent years in Republican-led states.

“The high court’s ruling could have a cascading effect, not just for the families and physicians whose lives are deeply intertwined with its outcome – and who await Strangio’s appearance at the lectern with guarded hope – but also for the next chapter of civil rights law in the United States.”

I propose that on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 (the first day that both the House and Senate are back in session), all of us who are invested in this issue and have a platform (whether it be a blog, newsletter, column, podcast, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) publish a piece with the shared title: “LGBTQ+ People Are Not Going Back.” Yes, I know, it’s a cheesy title, but it holds Democrats accountable to their own talking points and makes it clear that backsliding on LGBTQ+ rights is nonnegotiable for us.

What you write or say or express in your op-ed or article or video or podcast etcetera is up to you. I encourage you to make it personal and feel free to tailor it to your audience. My only request (other than all of us using the same title) is that you implore people to contact their Congressperson and Senators (and perhaps even local politicians) and tell them that 1) you will not tolerate any backpedaling on LGBTQ+ rights whatsoever, and 2) if they fail to strongly stand up against these attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, then you will take your vote elsewhere next election.

“Police in Gloucester are seeking criminal charges against three teenage boys following an investigation into the assault of a transgender teen during a party in the woods in August, officials said Friday.

“The Gloucester Police Department said it has filed applications in juvenile court for assault and battery charges against two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old in connection to the beating. The victim was taken to the emergency room with ‘significant injuries,’ police said.
 
“The allegations were initially investigated as a possible hate crime, but police said Friday that evidence gathered in the course of their probe did not support hate crime charges.

“‘Our department conducted a meticulous, thorough, and compassionate investigation, and the resulting charges are consistent with the evidence,’ Gloucester Police Chief Edward Conley said in a statement.”
