#GOP lawmakers seek more #StateLaws on #transgender people
Bathrooms. Medical care. Sports. The definition of "male" & "female." In state legislatures this spring, #Republicans have kept a focus on transgender people. They have filed hundreds of restrictive bills.
The majority don't pass, like the majority of all bills. But dozens have, acc/to groups tracking anti-#trans bills. And, even when they don't pass, they can force votes to drive debate.

Gender policing, attacks on trans folks, bathroom gender laws, do NOT protect cis women. They are sexist & fascistic, and they actually worsen the oppression of all women, including both cis and trans women, as seen by the recent harassment of a cis lesbian couple at a Boston hotel, the attacks on Algerian boxing gold medalist Imane Khelif, and the cis woman arrested for using a Walmart bathroom in Arizona.

I can't believe I'm only just now hearing about this. #MarcyRheintgen, a young transwoman from Illinois came to #Florida and, in a planned act of #CivilDisobedience, flouted the #trans bathroom ban by entering a women's bathroom inside the State Capitol and simply washing her hands. She was arrested on the spot and has been charged with 11 months in a men's prison.

The importance of recording our own history;
> "But what did surprise me is the lack of resources there were to track down the history of this event. Not even the exact date was correctly reported, as some media claim it to be 1979, while others in 1980. "
> "I hardly found pictures or names of those women who unapologetically claimed ownership over their bodies and gender expression, under the curious looks of the crowd."
> "At first look, it makes you wonder if trans history really is such a fragile and superficial memory. But of course, what is much more likely is it has been swept under the carpet."

'TRANSGENDER PEOPLE WHO move to Ireland from other countries are being told by the National Gender Service (NGS) they must join the waitlist and go through their assessment process before accessing healthcare in Ireland.
This is despite having legally changed their gender and previously accessed gender-affirming care in their home countries.
The NGS is requiring people who have already transitioned to join a years-long waitlist and prove they are ‘transgender enough’ once again'
