The Department of Education Told Employees to End Support for Transgender Students
The Department of Education Told Employees to End Support for Transgender Students
The directive, which continues the Trump administration’s efforts to curb transgender rights, could end school-based mental health services and support for homeless students.
“The U.S. Department of Education told employees late Friday that it will end all programs, contracts and policies that “fail to affirm the reality of biological sex,” carrying out President Donald Trump’s vow to restrict transgender rights.
The broad language in the email did not specify which programs or policies would be impacted, or how many schools or students might be affected. But the order appears designed to target programs that in recent years supported transgender students — school-based mental health servicesand support for homeless students, for example.
“These corrective measures will include thorough review and subsequent termination of Departmental programs, contracts, policies, outward-facing media, regulations, and internal practices,” according to the email sent to department employees and obtained by ProPublica.
… The email sent to employees Friday afternoon stated: “The deliberate subjugation of women and girls by means of gender ideology — whether in intimate spaces, weaponized language, or American classrooms — negated the civil rights of biological females and fostered distrust of our federal institutions.” …”

US military will no longer accept trans troops, Pete Hegseth’s memo says

US military will no longer accept trans troops, Pete Hegseth’s memo says
Trump’s defense secretary filed the memo in line with an executive order signed by the president
“… the memo from Hegseth on Monday – filed with the US district court in Washington DC – said: “Effective immediately, all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria are paused.
“All unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for service members are paused.”
… Hegseth’s memo added, “The department must ensure it is building ‘one force’ without subgroups defined by anything other than ability or mission adherence. Efforts to split our troops along lines of identity weaken our force and make us vulnerable. Such efforts must not be tolerated or accommodated.”
The memo from Hegseth cited Trump’s executive order, stating: “As the president clearly stated … ‘expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service’.”
Hegseth said individuals with gender dysphoria who are already in the military would be “treated with dignity and respect”, and the under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness would provide additional details on what this would mean. …”

Yes, because it was all about the economy and not being an open homophobe, racist, or bigot.

Yes, these are the same people polled that thought that America is 20% trans. Ignorant ass voters who allowed trump to play them into voting based on something they will probably never encounter personally, while not paying attention to issues that really make a difference for an actual high percentage of the population.

Veteran Dies by Suicide at VA Syracuse Medical Center Parking Garage
A witness said the veteran wore a nearly full-length banner associated with transgender rights.
A veteran apparently took their own life Jan. 27 at the parking garage at the VA Medical Center in Syracuse, New York, draped in a banner associated with transgender rights.
A witness said the veteran died by suicide wearing a body-length pink, light blue and white flag -- a symbol of transgender pride. According to Syracuse.com, which first reported the death, the veteran was a patient who had been discharged from the hospital's inpatient facility on Jan. 21.
Anne Bellows, a professor of food studies at Syracuse University, saw the veteran's body from a building across from the parking garage. She said she didn't see the person's face but was struck by how the flag floated "gently around the body."

This is the obviously correct result. Now we await the Supreme Court to overturn [checks notes] National Federation v. Sebelius, authored by [checks notes] John Roberts and joined by [checks notes] Alito, Thomas, Scalia, Kennedy, Breyer and Kagan.
