Joining Republican lawmakers in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Kentucky, a Republican lawmaker in South Carolina now wants to ban and penalize gender-affirming care for trans children, filing a bill that turns the right’s latest talking point in their war on trans rights—that supporting trans children and teens is akin to child abuse—into legislation.
Vox, “The standard approach when kids are gender expansive—when they say they’re transgender, when they think they’re transgender, whatever that might happen, to get a clue that this might be going on—is pretty much to listen to the kid and to kind of follow their guidance in terms of what they want to do, what the child wants to do.” Safer added, contrary to the fearmongering by anti-trans activists, “There is no medical intervention of any sort prior to someone hitting puberty.
Having largely lost their legislative battles over bathroom access, conservative lawmakers are now turning to using trans children as political fodder in their efforts to attack trans rights. Taking a page from the anti-abortion playbook, they are recognizing that painting children as the victims of both parents and a medical establishment eager to abuse them could be a winning issue.But it’s clear the losers would be the children and teens they purport to care so much about.

National Center for Trans Equality Fostered Culture of Racism, Say Former EmployeesAt the beginning of the year, the National Center for Transgender Equality, one of the nation’s largest trans civil rights organizations, appeared, outwardly, to be thriving. Their budget had ballooned from just over half a million dollars in 2009 to over two million less than a decade later, and they had a staff of more than 20, their largest ever. The organization was gearing up for its 2020 U.S. Transgender Survey, a detailed census of trans people that had, upon its initial release in 2015, quickly become a much-cited and important resource. As the only policy shop based in Washington D.C. that focused solely on trans advocacy, NCTE was regularly quoted, including by Jezebel, in stories involving trans civil rights issues. Under a Trump administration that has made the rollback of trans rights a priority, their work felt—and was, and continues to be—incredibly vital.
