Girlguiding has announced that trans girls and young women, as well as others not recorded female at birth, will no longer be able to join as new members. This decision follows legal advice prompted by the Supreme Court ruling on gender earlier this year and its implications on the Equality Act. The organization emphasized its commitment to inclusion and plans to support marginalized groups through a new taskforce. While there will be no immediate changes for current members, the ruling effectively restricts membership to girls and young women as defined by biological sex.

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce its policy blocking transgender and nonbinary individuals from selecting passport sex markers that align with their gender identity. This decision, a win for the conservative majority, halts a lower court’s order and means the policy can be enforced while the lawsuit continues. The State Department’s policy change followed an executive order that limited sex recognition based on birth certificates. Plaintiffs argue that this policy risks safety for transgender people as they travel, while the government maintains it is vital for accurate identification.

It’s almost as if every accusation these folks make is, in reality, a confession.… Continue reading

The legislation imposes substantial fines on institutions violating the policy, making it the most financially punitive bathroom restriction in the country.

Following these reports, figures like Rep. Ronny Jackson made false and misleading statements about trans people on Newsmax, including calling them a “virus” and “domestic terrorists.” This rhetoric aligns with the Trump administration’s pattern of labeling trans people as threats, echoing claims that have been made in several recent hoaxes.
