A federal judge blocked Trump's Department of Justice from seizing the personal information of trans patients in Pennsylvania. This is a powerful rebuke of the DOJ's targeting of gender-affirming health care. lgbtqnation.com/2025/11/judg…

Judge sides with trans kids in “complete rebuke” of DOJ’s demand for private medical records

The judge wrote he was "not persuaded in the least" by the DOJ's rationale for needing the information.

Thank you to the 213 House members who are not only condemning transphobia, but making an important connection between anti-trans rhetoric and real-world violence. advocate.com/politics/democr…

200 lawmakers demand Speaker Mike Johnson end anti-trans rhetoric in Congress

“Transgender people deserve government officials who will lift them up, not attack them simply because of who they are,” the members of Congress wrote.

The brief gives context to the exclusion of trans people today. Using the history of anti-LGBTQ discrimination, A4TE lawyers demonstrate how bans on trans participation are unconstitutional. A4TE is proud to put this argument directly before the court. (2/3)

Bans do not make school sports more fair for students. Instead, these laws single out and target trans kids, denying them the right to be themselves. More: transequality.org/news/a4te-… (3/3)

Trans people have always played an important role in strengthening our military and defending our country. Trump's targeting of trans service members does not change the truth of their bravery. advocate.com/history/history…

Trans service members have always been part of U.S. history

Across centuries of wars, bans, and battles for recognition, trans military members have answered the call. Now they're fighting for their right to do so.
