Note for those who don’t know: trans teens cannot currently have surgery and no-one is advocating for them to have surgery. What the Tories want to ban is puberty blockers and counselling. Puberty blockers are reversible (and anyway detransitioning is incredibly rare).

You can bet that the Tories will roll back even the somewhat skimpy climate policies offered by Trudeau too.

Bonne rentrée à tous et toutes, y compris aux mineur.es trans qui font leur rentrée cette année dans un cadre de tensions.

Pour rappel, ces mineur.es ont des droits, et il est du devoir des établissements, des équipes, et des accompagnant.es, de les respecter. On vous a préparé une petite session de rattrapage si vous n'avez pas tout suivi.

In response to the provincial governments requiring schools to out kids who use different pronouns and names than those their parents know about, I hope the kids are organizing to ALL switch to “they”. #cdnpoli #ProtectTransKids

See you at the #SaskatchewanLegislature tomorrow! #ProtectTransKids

About to get my craft on. Sign-making for tomorrow’s rally at the #Saskatchewan Legislature opposing the dangerous new “parents rights” policy forcing schools to inform parents when #TransKids change their names or pronouns. #ProtectTransKids

“Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed an executive order strictly defining a person’s sex.
The order notably does not use the term #transgender, although it appears directed at limiting transgender access to certain public spaces. It orders state agencies to define “female” and “male” as a person’s sex assigned at birth” #LGBTQ+ #ProtectTransKids https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nebraska-order-male-and-female-defined_n_64f11e88e4b02f61505e7d9d

Ich bin echt kein FDP-FAN, aber an einen FDP-Justizminister hatte ich Erwartungen. Wie naiv ich doch war.

“The decision leaves families of transgender children, who had been receiving treatment, scrambling for care. The injunction will remain in place until the court issues the mandate, which could take several days. But once it is officially lifted, the attorney general’s office will be able to enforce the ban, which threatens doctors with prison time.” #ProtectTransKids #LGBTQ+ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/alabama-court-allows-gender-affiming-care-ban-children_n_64e4c5abe4b07db68195e327

Wir reden von einer langen Zeit, in der feindliche Eltern wirklich jede Karte ziehen werden, um auf ihre Kinder einzuwirken. Von wegen Kinderschutz.

Der schlimmste Punkt, der mir bisher bekannt ist, ist die Verschärfung des "Frauensauna Paragraphen".

Of course the bigoted and backward #NC legislature overrode the Governor's veto. Like the rest of the GOP, they favor manufactured culture wars because they're out of ideas to lead with that aren't deeply unpopular. The GOP cares about people that look like them from the upper economic brackets.They don't seem to give a damn what happens to anyone else after birth.

“Implementing the restrictions proposed by SB 150 will not change the number of LGBTQ children in schools,” said psychologist Laurie Grimes to lawmakers…Chris Hartman, director of the #LGBTQ advocacy group the Fairness Campaign, was more forthright. “You’re going to kill kids,” said Hartman. “Their blood will be on your hands.” #ProtectTransKids https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kentucky-anti-lgbtq-trans-parental-rights-law-sb150/

“Gov. Greg Abbott signed a new law that adds fuel to the fire by opening the door to digital state censorship. The bill will deprive teens in need — especially #LGBTQ youth — of access to online resources and connections with peers who identify like they do. Additionally, the bill puts online privacy at risk for both minors and adults.” #ProtectTransKids

Recently I've run into folks on here claiming that #Democrats aren't doing anything to protect #trans folks from far-right attacks. In many places -- not all, alas -- Dems are standing up in important ways. Example below. #ProtectTransKids
