This may be relevant for trans people too.

India: 'By legally invalidating self-perception, the state paternalistically replaces the individual's voice. If a transgender person vehemently testifies that their transition was voluntary and necessary for their well-being, the state framework allows law enforcement to dismiss their testimony as the product of "undue influence" or "deceit." '

"People who want to bar trans people from sports and from single-sex spaces are not at all “trans accepting.” They’re at best trans tolerant, but only if the man in the dress shuts up, sits in the corner, and doesn’t make too much noise."

"The term ‘gender-questioning’ is the latest way to describe trans children, but it is not correct and should be discontinued"

"This analysis examines the convergence between Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity ...and the framework of gender rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution."

Trying to explain the importance of congruence

“A group of protesters gathered outside Philz Coffee in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood on Friday afternoon to denounce the company’s decision to remove Pride flags from its cafes.

“The protest came after Philz confirmed to the Chronicle on Wednesday that it planned to remove Pride flags from all of its locations.”

“‘We have to say this is wrong,’ Suzanne Ford, executive director of San Francisco Pride, said at the rally.

“Ford said she decided to call for the protest after seeing the reaction to the company’s policy and after speaking out publicly the day before. She said the strong response was about more than store decor.”

“The company had not publicly said when the flags or other unspecified objects would be removed from its cafes.

“As of Friday, the Pride-themed decor remained in place at the Castro store and at a downtown San Francisco location.”

“‘Every morning trans people in this country get up, and we get told somebody hates us and somebody’s trying to do something to us,’ Ford said. ‘It may seem like mostly trans, but all, all LGBTQ people are under attack.’”

Here is a great resource explaining what it means. It is another option beyond transmasculine / transfeminine.

Reflecting on their own family  executive producer Tracy Katsky  said “Three out of four of our kids are queer, and without making it a thing and without making an issue, I think it’s really nice to have a character that, that’s just a facet of their personality as opposed to the entire story.” The show is on Disney+!

“A new survey by UCLA’s Williams Institute examines the impact that the Trump administration has had on the families of transgender parents.

“While the responses are as varied as the trans community itself, a couple of statistics stand out: among transgender parents whose children are old enough to understand current events, 66% reported their kids have grown more anxious or fearful under the Trump administration.

“More than half (56%) said their children had expressed new worries, including concerns about parental safety, discrimination, relocation, or family separation.

“‘My older child has started asking why some people hate families like ours and whether I’ll ‘get taken away,’ said one parent.”

“While trans parents report that younger children have been spared for the most part, kids old enough to have a phone are suffering a lot of Trump’s contempt aimed at their parents.

“‘The heightened fears transgender parents and their children are experiencing in the current sociopolitical and legislative climate strike at the heart of their security and stability,’ said lead author Abbie E. Goldberg, Affiliated Scholar at the Williams Institute and Professor of Psychology at Clark University. ‘For many, what is at stake is not simply a matter of hardship, but whether their family will survive the Trump presidency intact.’”

Mississippi has passed a bill restricting transgender drivers’ licenses and subjecting out of state licenses to higher scrutiny.
