Trans Talmud: Could a 1,500-Year-Old Book Have Any Relevance to The Struggle for Trans Equality and Liberation?

…sex and sexuality is counter to natural law. From that base they’ve added trans people into the mix. I think trans people and queer people are affected differently by this theology. I make the argument about the Mississippi law in the book where I say that if you look at the wording of the law really carefully, what the law says is that it protects the belief that gay people should not exist, and that trans people do not exist. So what’s the dist…

Inspired by the Anti-Abortion Movement and QAnon, Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a Blatant Call for Violence

…gay, and bisexual) people as a scapegoat for society’s ills and onto T, or trans people. In a cynical way, trans people provide an easier target for right-wing ideologues—because they’re a far smaller group and less well known, they’re easier to demonize. It’s a coordinated attack that some have called genocidal in nature: It endangers the lives of trans people and those who care for them—and it’s only a question of time before health care provide…

The Anti-Trans Hate Machine’s Conspiracies Don’t Stop at the US Border

…en, in order to indoctrinate them with “gender ideology” and turn them all trans. The existence of trans people is being framed as a “trend,” while proposed changes to legislation that would free trans people from some of the debasing bureaucratic hurdles to changing their sex legally, are being framed as kids turning up in a doctors office, declaring they’re trans and immediately being operated on. Of course, these are preposterous lies. And whil…

New Report: White Evangelicals are America’s Most Anti-Trans Demographic, But Encouraging Data Overall

…has become kind of a talking point or rallying cry.” In his view, this has transformed trans rights from “a practical issue at the local level” into an element of Americans’ “partisan, tribal identity.” Jones also pointed to the influence of right-wing media, both Fox News and the media to its right, such as Newsmax and One America News Network, as a significant factor on the Right. “Even if we look among Republicans, we can see the difference bet…

New Anti-Trans Strategies Floated at Family Research Council’s Pray Vote Stand Summit

…der advocates, organizations, and media outlets have been platforming anti-trans detransitioners for a few years now. In fact, one of the detransitioned speakers at PVS actually spoke at the 2019 Values Voter Summit. KathyGrace Duncan shared the same story in 2019 that we heard in 2022: she was a devout Christian who identified as a man for many years until, as she puts it, “God called her back.” Author Erin Brewer joined Duncan on stage and share…

But What About the Parents? New York Times Falls Into the Anti-Trans ‘Parents’ Rights’ Trap

…ols aren’t] qualified to oversee.” No one puts anyone “on a path” to being trans. Being trans isn’t some contagious curse. And being trans is hard—increasingly so as the environment for trans people in the United States (and elsewhere) becomes more hostile. No one who decides to “try on” a transgender identity to be “trendy” or “edgy” is going to persist in it for long, because, again, being trans is hard. The people who believe that a cabal of do…

New Poll Reveals That Anti-Trans Rhetoric isn’t Just Affecting Republicans and White Evangelicals

…at Jenner by her fellow White evangelicals, Americans were learning about trans people, and that encouraged me as a trans woman who had yet to come out.

A Memoir of Jewish, Transgender Spirituality

…identity — but though transsexuals are included in the umbrella category “transgender,” transsexual gender identity is quite different from other transgender identities, such as those who are gender fluid or genderqueer.   This brings me to another misconception, the idea that there is a “transgender community.” Though transgender people may march in the same parades and fight for the same basic rights to express our gender identities without soc…

As the Right Peddles a Conspiracy About Trans People and Easter, A Reflection on the Spiritual Nature of My Gender Transition

…ed occasion to reflect upon the spiritual dimensions of my experience as a trans person who’s recently begun a gender transition with the assistance of gender-affirming hormone therapy at a time in which this treatment—and trans existence itself—has become hotly politicized. The connection between gender—specifically trans identities—and the sacred, has always been present for me. Before I saw my true gender on my physical body as anything other t…

Caste First, Christ Second, for Some Indian Christians

…Caesar Thomas of the National Council of Dalit Christians doesn’t need the reservation system. A fourth-generation Catholic and son of a teacher, he was educated as an engineer and lawyer. But when he was working in recruiting at Indian Railways, he noticed a pattern. “With my own eyes, I saw how Dalit Christian applications were rejected, whereas our Hindu Dalit brothers, their sons and daughters, they came through the reservation,” he says.
