From the article: "On Tuesday, Montana’s House considered Senate Bill 164, legislation that would classify gender-affirming care for transgender youth as felony child endangerment. The bill would not only target doctors and nurses, but also parents—including those merely passing through the state. Though the vote was expected to be close, a powerful floor speech from Representative SJ Howell prompted a wave of Republican defections. The bill was defeated 40–58, becoming one of several anti-trans proposals to fail this year following strong speeches by Montana’s transgender and nonbinary lawmakers."

From the article: “Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth,” reads President Donald Trump’s March 27 executive order.

"He then declared that the accomplishments of trans people, and trans women in particular, must be removed from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum because they constitute an “improper ideology.”

"The order condemns a planned exhibit at the Museum that would feature trans athletes. Now, Vice President J.D. Vance, alongside members of the presidential cabinet and staff, will lead the way in a sweeping overhaul of Museum exhibits, programming and leadership by blocking funding unless the Museum promises it will “not recognize men as women in any respect.” The language is a thinly veiled directive to remove trans women from the museum entirely."

From the article: "In recent weeks, academics who focus on improving the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans have been subjected to waves of grant cancellations from the National Institutes of Health. More than 270 grants totaling at least $125 million of unspent funds have been eliminated, though the true sum is likely much greater, researchers told NBC News. "

The Gender Police -- Targeting Maine yet again!

#PamBondi: #JusticeDepartment cut funding for #Maine corrections department over #transgender inmate

by Brooke Migdon - 04/08/25 4:51 PM ET

"The Justice Department revoked funding for the Maine Department of Corrections over the state’s placement of a transgender woman in a women’s prison, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday.

"Bondi made the announcement during an interview with Fox News, saying the department pulled all 'nonessential' funding from the state corrections department on Monday after federal officials learned 'a guy' was serving time in one of the state’s two women’s facilities. Bondi said the inmate was convicted of murder.

"The loss in funding for the department totaled upward of $1.5 million, according to Fox News. The Justice Department did not return a request for comment.

"In a news release, Maine’s corrections department said it received formal notice from the Department of Justice on Monday that certain federal grants 'are being terminated because they ‘no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities.' The cuts will impact state-run initiatives related to #SubstanceAbuseTreatment and support for #children with incarcerated parents, the corrections department said.

"The notice from the Justice Department, a copy of which was obtained by The Hill, does not mention transgender inmates. 'While the Department is aware of related public statements by the United States Attorney General, the notice is the only communication that has been received by the Department,' Maine’s corrections department said.

"The move by the Justice Department is the latest development in a monthlong battle between the Trump administration and Maine over the state’s refusal to ban transgender student-athletes from girls’ and women’s sports as ordered by the president."

I will readily admit that I'm becoming a #DrBronners superfan, especially when I read their blog posts, including this powerful one on the recent #TransDayOfVisibility that provides an excellent list of organizations that they are supporting financially this year that advocate for true trans inclusion and acceptance.

Huge thanks to Dinux for donating a canopy to The Genital Autonomy Collective! This increases accessibility tabling at events like Pride to raise awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon, a case fighting to expand the genital cutting ban to all children, including circumcision of those assigned male at birth and intersex kids.

This case has deep implications for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse folks. Our shared fight is for *intersectional* bodily autonomy, and Oregonians have a unique chance to lead the way.

GAC offers uniquely intersectional advocacy opportunities and support groups for those impacted:

I’ll also be using the canopy for local mutual aid when not tabling. Thank you again for supporting this work!
