Rep. @aoc in January 2025 when Republicans attempted to pass a nationwide ban on trans girls competing in school sports: “When there is no enforcement mechanism, you open the door to every enforcement mechanism.”

That stark warning rings true today.

BREAKING: Today, the Supreme Court upheld discriminatory, anti-trans sports bans in West Virginia and Idaho, allowing these states to leave transgender student athletes behind simply for who they are.

All kids deserve the freedom to be, to play, and to belong. Full stop.

“This ruling is heartbreaking for transgender student athletes who are being forced to sit on the sidelines simply for who they are,” HRC President Kelley Robinson shared in a statement. “When politicians convince the public that any girl could be ‘the wrong kind of girl,’ they invite harassment, intimidation, invasive questioning, or even an inspection of their body by a total stranger.”

This is yet another attempt by a corrupt Trump administration to persecute transgender people instead of addressing any of the problems that our nation faces.

NO ONE should have to seek permission from politicians to access medically necessary health care.

FTC suing the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), "alleging the organization has provided the means for medical providers to make false and unsubstantiated claims to parents in order to sell pediatric medical transition services."

Following a powerful discussion with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Chairman @repespaillat and @HRC President @KelleyJRobinson reflect on what Pride means to them and why the fight for dignity, visibility, and justice continues.

Happy Pride Month 🌈✨

I asked Kelley Robinson where it began. She took me to her grandfather, a Black man in Jim Crow America fighting for freedoms he knew he'd never have at home. Two generations later, she leads the Human Rights Campaign: https://t.co/MlGyKttyl6

These findings confirm what we know to be true: LGBTQ+ consumers are a market force that companies cannot ignore.

The full report: https://t.co/6FYrLRNlIg

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

INAUGURAL HRC FOUNDATION DATA: LGBTQ+ people hold more than $1.4 trillion in annual spending power. And companies retreating from DEI risk losing LGBTQ+ customers at TWICE the rate of other consumers.

That's not symbolic. That's measurable economic power.

The findings ⤵️

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

When companies scale back on their DEI commitments, LGBTQ+ consumers take their business elsewhere:

69.5% report increasing spending with businesses they perceive as supportive.

65.0% report intentionally directing purchases toward brands committed to inclusion.

Idiotic.

"transgenic mice" are mice w/ altered genes used to study cancer & other conditions. They are not "transgender" mice.

But tell me again which party is obsessed with making everything about trans people?
