United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has sent a powerful message to trans youth. Over the last year, the Trump administration has been relentless in its efforts to roll back protections for trans people. This includes attempts to limit access to gender-affirming healthcare, restrict participation in sports and define gender narrowly in legal terms. While the 47th president and his Republican allies are showing no signs of slowing down their tirade, various Democratic lawmakers have come out swinging in support of the trans community, including AOC. On 3 October, the…

admin, , , ,

Scottish schools are now required to enforce toilet polices on the “basis of biological sex.” Back in April, the UK Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to trans rights when it ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The decision stemmed from a dispute centring on whether a trans woman with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) should be treated the same as a cisgender woman under the UK’s Equality Act 2010. A week later, a Scottish judge ordered that schools must provide single sex toilets after a…

Anti-trans Republican candidate followed sexually explicit accounts – including a queer porn star

admin, , , ,

Conservative politician Bill Berrien has been exposed for following NSFW accounts – including a non-binary adult film star – despite his “family values” political stance. Back in July, the Pindel Global Precision CEO entered the 2026 race for Wisconsin governor. Since then, Berrien has run on a campaign centring around conservative “family values,” which includes aligning with convicted felon and US president Donald Trump, “pushing back on the left’s radical agenda,” and, of course, spewing anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric that refers to trans people as a “radical social experimentation.” However, the 56-year-old’s…
