Trans-inclusive Vagina Museum smashes crowdfunding target following negative JK Rowling tweet

The trans-inclusive Vagina Museum in London, renowned for addressing stigma around gynecological anatomy and advocating LGBTQ+ inclusion, recently surpassed its £60,000 crowdfunding target within three days, Pink News reports.

Notably, the museum faced backlash from author J.K. Rowling, who criticized its support for trans rights on social media. Despite the controversy, the museum’s commitment to inclusion remains unwavering, with founder Florence Schechter affirming its stance on embracing trans and nonbinary individuals.

“Proponents of legislation like this are aiming to mandate cruelty through bureaucratic systems, putting trans people in danger and making it harder to exist in Texas,” said Landon Richie, policy coordinator for the Transgender Education Network of Texas and one of several witnesses who denounced the measure at a hearing this week.

Hospitals that paused youth gender-affirming care continued controversial intersex surgeries, group says

Hospitals across the United States are facing criticism for continuing controversial intersex surgeries while halting gender-affirming care for transgender youth, following an executive order by President Donald Trump. The January 28 order bars doctors from providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 19, threatening to cut federal funding for noncompliance.

Although the order is not yet in effect due to legal challenges, several hospitals have already paused such care.

Intersex advocates highlight the hypocrisy of these actions, as many of the same hospitals continue performing non-consensual surgeries on intersex infants and children. These procedures, aimed at “correcting” sex variations, often have irreversible consequences, including infertility, loss of sexual sensation, and psychological trauma.

Despite condemnation from organizations like the United Nations and Amnesty International, no federal or state laws currently prohibit these surgeries.

Supreme Court will take up state bans on conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ children, in a Colorado case

Conversion therapy refers to a range of practices aimed at changing an individual’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. These practices are based on the false premise that being LGBTQ+ is a disorder that needs to be “fixed.”

Major medical and psychological organizations, including the American Psychological Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), widely condemn conversion therapy as harmful and ineffective. Research has shown that it can lead to severe mental health consequences, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.

Many countries and U.S. states have banned or restricted conversion therapy, especially for minors, due to its harmful effects.

Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security: Red Flag Alert for the Anti-Trans Agenda of the Trump Administration in the United States.

To the American people, we ask you to reaffirm your commitment to individual rights and to the project of equality under the law that is written into the US Constitution and that has animated the best nature of the USA since its founding.

Reject efforts to desensitize you to violence against other Americans, whether that violence is legal, social, or physical. To protect trans people and the Constitution, and to prevent the hardening of a genocidal process that will eventually impact every single American, it is critical that you loudly resist the normalization of anti-trans talking points and make your voice heard against efforts to marginalize and erase the trans community.

This can mean many things – writing a letter to your representatives, organizing your community to flood your representatives with phone calls, or supporting and engaging with organizations that protect LGBTQ+ rights. Talking to family and friends is also important. Autocratic states need to control language or they will fall. Keep talking.
