Nancy Mace used the word “tranny” during a hearing; Gerry Connolly’s response was to call for “decorum,” referring to Mace as “gentlelady”

CONNOLLY: The gentlelady has used a phrase. That is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the transgender community.

Nancy Mace once seemed like one of the more reasonable Republicans given her stance on reproductive issues. Now she’s screeching “tranny” repeatedly while claiming it’s about protecting cis women. To be clear: That slur is about denigrating someone’s identity, not their… https://t.co/DhF2T05n4z

What are they talking about on day one is where one member out of 435 is going to use the bathroom. That is their focus. So this is not a great start for how we start to turn the focus to the American people.

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did.

An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did.

Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

Trans people are 1% of the population.

The Republican Party is successfully bullying the smallest percentage of our nation to push far right taliban esque norms onto our nation’s women and children.

They do so all the while nominating actual rapists and child sex offenders.

Sarah McBride: “It is an attempt to distract … Every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans,’ look what they’re doing with their right hand. Look at what they’re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare.” pic.twitter.com/5WUzXAMKD5

New laws in Florida have many educators facing fear and confusion. In the first weeks of school, teachers were asked to take down stickers showing support for LGBTQ students and, in at least one case, to remove rainbow colored paper from a classroom door.

Students at Grapevine High School have staged a walkout. A few days ago, the Grapevile-Colleyville School District voted to essentially ban trans teachers from the classroom, ban the word transgender, pull all lgbtq+ books, and ban pronouns (figure that one out).

Librarians across my state (Missouri) are reporting patrons coming in with lists of books they want to ban or want to judge whether they are “appropriate”. What all these lists have in common is authors or subjects that do with POC or LGBTQ+. The agenda is crystal clear.

NEW: In July, Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta confirmed that slandering LGBTQ people as “groomers” violates their ban on hateful content. But in the months since, they’re continued to directly profit off paid content promoting the slur: https://t.co/6WrSaFRSmd

Trans Girl’s Friend Helps Stop Stabbing Attack on D.C. Metro

According to witnesses, 24-year-old Reginald Anthony Klaiber began verbally assaulting the teen before attacking her. One unnamed witness and friend of the teen told NBC News 4 that they intervened in the attack to protect her: “He pulled out a knife and he stabbed my friend. And that’s when I maced him.”

Why This Transgender Teen’s Big Legal Victory Matters

Wayne Maines was in a meeting when he got the call. His daughter, a transgender teenager who had been fighting the state of Maine for years over her right to use the girls’ bathroom at school, had finally won.

Community Village‘s insight:

Five states down, 45 more to go.

“Some jurisdictions (e.g., Colorado, Iowa, San Francisco, New York City, and the District of Columbia), however, have indicated that denying transgender people the right to use a gender identity-appropriate restroom violates nondiscrimination laws. In addition, Washington’s Human Rights Commission states that “transgender employees should be permitted to use the restroom that is consistent with the individual’s gender identity.” Some jurisdictions (e.g., Iowa, San Francisco, and D.C.) make clear that transgender people cannot be required to prove their gender to gain access to a public bathroom, unless everyone has to show ID to use that bathroom. Other jurisdictions (e.g., Chicago) continue to allow businesses to determine whether a transgender patron is given access to the male or female bathroom based on the gender on his or her ID.” –source
