Powerful Speeches From Trans Dems Flip 29 Republicans, Anti-Trans Bills Die In Montana
Transgender Representatives Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered impassioned speeches in the Montana House of Representatives, leading to a historic defeat of two extreme anti-transgender bills.
HB 675 aimed to ban public drag performances and Pride parades, while HB 754 sought to remove transgender children from supportive families.
Zephyr condemned the bills as attacks on the transgender community, highlighting the cultural significance of drag and the importance of family support. Howell criticized the vague and harmful language in HB 754, emphasizing the tragic consequences of separating children from stable, loving homes.
Their speeches inspired a remarkable shift, with 29 Republican lawmakers breaking ranks to oppose the bills. Representative Sherry Essman, a Republican, also publicly defended Zephyr and emphasized the importance of parental rights.

Polish Supreme Court issues landmark ruling simplifying process for changing legal gender
In a landmark ruling for trans people in Poland, the Supreme Court has issued a resolution declaring that someone wishing to change their officially recognised gender no longer needs to involve their parents in the case.
Up until now, people who wanted to change their gender have had to sue their parents to do so, even if they are adults. That practice made the process more difficult for those involved.
