What’s Happening in #Kansas Should Alarm Us All
by M. Gessen, August 13, 2026
Excerpt: "Some of the words or expressions in this article may at first blush seem hyperbolic. One of them is ' #fascism. ' That’s how #SiobhanKirschstein characterized the process when we met in Lawrence, Kan., in July: 'It was #SoftFascism.' It was. Fascism usually begins with redefining the nation by excluding certain groups, which are branded threats to national health and unity. The #Trump administration has fixated on two groups most of all — #immigrants and #TransPeople — in just this way, smearing us (I am a member of both groups) as predatory, sick, at once subhuman and terrifyingly powerful. Even before Donald Trump was elected for the second time, more than half the states had considered or passed legislation limiting the rights of trans people. The process has intensified in the last year and a half, and the law enacted in Kansas in February is one of the most restrictive pieces of anti-trans legislation passed in any state so far."

Analysis: How #AntiTransLaws jeopardize #IndigenousPeoples’ rights, religious expression
by Rosalyn St Pierre, Jun 15, 2023
"In April [2023], Montana’s Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte became one of the latest to sign several new anti-transgender laws, including one that will prevent gender-affirming medical care for minors.
"One thing these new laws do not take into account is that the 12 federally recognized tribes in Montana have historically recognized multiple gender identities, including transgender identities. Most Indigenous peoples recognize multiple gender identities that are believed to be the result of supernatural intervention.
"In this regard, Montana state Rep. Donavon Hawk, a Democrat from Butte who is Crow and Lakota, said, 'It surprises me that this country is only a couple hundred years old, and we are not able to function with #LGBTQ people in our communities.' Indigenous communities have incorporated LGBTQ+ peoples within their societies for centuries.
"As an Indigenous scholar who studies the history and religion of Indigenous peoples, I am troubled by how these new anti-transgender laws might affect religious expression and the rights of Indigenous communities, not just in Montana but across the nation."

#AntiTransLaws #Fear I honestly cannot imagine the fear and despair that American trans citizens face now. For a political party that claims to support life, it seems to be pushing significant numbers of American citizens to suicide or even to emigration.

The court cases on these antitrans laws have been good news so far; now some bad news. Lots more to come.

"The more we open the boundaries of exploration, the more we normalize the process of deciding "does this name work for me?" or "is this how I actually want to be seen by the world?", the more this benefits all kids, and truly all people in society as a whole. To follow the example of the younger generation is to give ourselves a real gift as we shed the baggage of the past.
It is a fundamental human rights principle that the only person who has the right to tell the world who they are is that person, and that person only."
