In the United States (US), conservative backlash against 2SLGBTQ+ rights movements is producing violent, systemic persecution of transgender Americans. Transphobic ideology and political scapegoating have fueled efforts to deny transgender identities, exclude trans people from public life, and to fully eradicate trans people demonstrate early warning signs of genocide.
When 46-year-old Rajab Ali, a transgender man, spent his life savings to build a mosque for his local community in Okara district of the Punjab province in Pakistan, he hoped it would bring goodwill and allow people to pray there without gender discrimination. Now that it is complete, however, his neighbors are harassing him for praying in it because he is transgender, known in Pakistan as Khawaja Sira (third gender), a community that has come under renewed attack in Pakistan.
To many on the outside, strength sports seem like a masculinity-obsessed, all-male freak show. But what I found when I entered the strength sports world was completely the opposite of anyone’s perception. There were men of all ages, races, sizes, and capabilities, of course, and there were so many other kinds of people, too. While there are certainly gyms that are majority male and cishet, I found there are many spaces that are commanded by diverse groups of people with an even larger diversity of bodies. Queer and trans people — and I’m not talking about just gay men — account for a not-so-insignificant amount of this diversity. And the popularity of strength sports continues to grow steadily amongst LGBTQ+ people all over the world.
We were asked by our members to write to Amnesty International UK over the withdrawal of its reports on the UK’s anti-rights movement and its subsequent apology to gender-critical organisations.
Washington - A U.S. federal appeals court handed President Donald Trump’s administration a legal victory on Friday in its efforts to seek data from providers of transgender healthcare to minors, reinstating a Justice Department subpoena that a lower court had blocked as politically motivated.
In its ruling, a divided panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a federal judge in Seattle wrongly concluded the Justice Department’s subpoena was issued in bad faith in a lawsuit brought by telehealth provider QueerDoc.
“They really don’t want to make it because it’s wall-to-wall a trans cast. And so I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people.”
The WNBA on Wednesday criticized those trying to create a narrative about transgender women playing in the league.
“There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others,” a league spokesperson said Wednesday in a statement, hours after an anti-hate task force met virtually and discussed a variety of topics, including social media vitriol and transgender athletes.
The out transgender icon joined trans trailblazer Ts Madison on her podcast to discuss being dragged for her nearly four-year relationship with a "blonde-haired, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer."

Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.-
It is unfair because these were valid articles that were removed for reasons not within the rules or outright fabrications. It silences awareness of systemic discrimination and violence against a minority group. Marginalising issues trans peoples are facing in an ever increasingly transphobic world because they do not come from large scale news corporations who would rather run articles against us.
Karla Saenz’s pink tennis shoes no longer had laces — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confiscated them — but her step was firm. She was hungry but not ready to eat; her voice was tired, but she refused to be silent. Clutching her black purse against her pink sweater, she sat down at a truck-stop Wendy’s outside Eloy, Arizona, and described her experience in immigration detention, just minutes after being released. She was exhausted and yet determined to keep fighting.
Audio from bystander video indicates 11 shots were fired before Wilson died from two gunshot wounds, while the department’s posted policy sharply restricts shooting at moving vehicles.
