“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.

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.
