In U.S. v. Skrmetti, the case about tennessee's gender affirming care ban, the DOJ is arguing that the Equal Protection Clause protects trans people, including trans kids seeking gender affirming care.
I've seen people saying on social media that Dems don't care about trans rights. Or that Kamala Harris doesn't care. While Democrats could be doing better— including talking about the landmark argument that the equal protection clause protects trans —they're not doing nothing! #scotus #uspol

When I posted this toot yesterday (it's gonna take a while to get used to using the word toot) I hadn't even yet read the horseshit that the nation published yesterday. Mylanta.
there are so many factual errors in this piece— starting with the case name—it's embarrassing that the editors over there published it https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-trans-rights-platform/

@AngryBlackLady I am so glad you are here. Thank you for countering the "Kamala doesn't do anything for trans rights" narrative. There are a great number of transpeople who are active on Mastodon who will benefit from your knowledge and legal expertise.
Also, I hate the word "toot" so I just say/write "post". #uspol -
Also, the Biden administration is currently being blocked from enforcing new title IX rules that protect trans students. If Trump wins, Title IX won’t protect trans students anymore. They’ll just write new rules.
It’s so incredibly dangerous for people to be spreading the lie that the Biden administration is doing nothing for trans people.
And while trans people may not be put in physical detention camps, many will be forced to detransition. In my view that’s a form of genocide. YMMV

@AngryBlackLady The good news is, you really don't have to say "toot"!

Yes! I believe the whole "toot" thing started as a prank. I don't see many people use it. -

“Post” is the way, unless you’re making a really stupid pun, in which case let the toot fly
