  1. Federal Judge Blocks #Idaho Law Criminalizing #Transgender Bathroom Use

    Six transgender residents claimed that the #BathroomBan, the most restrictive in the nation, violated their constitutional rights.

    By Amy Harmon, June 16, 2026

    Excerpt: "Twenty states besides Idaho restrict transgender people from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity, according to the #MovementAdvancementProject, which tracks state-level legislation on #LGBTQ issues. But the restrictions elsewhere apply only to schools and colleges, government-owned buildings and public places like parks and airports.

    "Idaho’s measure is viewed as the most restrictive such law in the nation because of its broad application and because of the penalties it imposes. Repeat violators face up to five years in prison. The law covers restrooms in all publicly owned buildings as well as privately owned settings such as restaurants, retail stores and business offices. It includes bathrooms with a single stall. Idaho’s law also applies more immediately, including no provision like the one in #Florida that requires a transgender person to refuse to leave a bathroom that does not match their sex at birth in order to establish a violation.

    "State officials argue that even if the law is challenging to enforce, it is not unconstitutionally vague because it is clear about what must be proved. They noted that a person’s biological sex could be determined later through objective means, such as a birth certificate or DNA testing, even if it cannot be done at the scene."

  3. I've been out the loop, only just seen the #EHRC guidance.

    Wow, the UK is now more fucked up.

    It's welcoming full transphobic assault on people.

    No trans people allowed in sport.

    Encouraging outing trans people or anyone who might not conform.

    Nothing is safe.

  5. CW: Uk transphobia, EHRC

    So is the #UK doing a #bathroomBan today? It sure looks like it if you look at the right wing gutter press. I mean we’ve all been living with this over our heads for a year and a bit so it’s not a surprise. But it’s still a massive fuck you.

    Fuck this fucking country. There’s no safety here and no belonging here if you’re #trans.

  9. Watching our Government suck up to Donald Trump, I think we know where they stand on Misogyny.

    Will they take the Tech bros to task over the wave of misogyny sweeping the nation via our devices?

    Nope, they'll fuck about with toilets instead.

  11. But that's exactly what you'll be doing if you give in to the Transphobes. This isn't about 'Safety' , this is about Control.

  13. @staringatclouds the cowardly way the push the responsibility of the dirty deed onto the Public, the TERFs can't harass every Trans person themselves but they can coerce the British Public into being obedient little snitches.

    History and Current Events show us exactly where this is going, yet few dare mention the parallels in Westminster or the Media, the fucking cowards.

  15. "SHOW US YOUR GENTIALS TO USE THIS TOILET.....SHOW ME!"

    This is what Labour wants to inflict on anybody who doesn't fit the ideal of feminine or masculine, ie...most of us.

    I wonder how much violence this will instigate, and remember, this was all about 'women's safety' even though there have never been any figures to back this up, but JK Rowling somehow speaks for ALL Women, can't argue with her...she's rich....

  17. The #UK has gone from a #bathroomBan being unthinkable to a #Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian one. #Trans lives are to be made unlivable, without a vote.

    This article by Toby Buckle is long — it's labelled as a 32 minute read — but it's by far the best article I have read on UK's first overtly #fascist law.

    "In recent months, the Trump administration has sought to strong-arm schools and universities into enacting policies that discriminate against transgender students. While some prestigious institutions—including Brown, Columbia, and Penn—have capitulated to federal threats in order to preserve their funding, others have pushed back. Denver Public Schools is the latest to reject the administration’s demands, with the superintendent declaring that the district “will protect all of their students from this hostile administration,” refusing to institute a transgender bathroom ban.

    "In a statement posted to Instagram, Dr. Alex Marrero, DPS Superintendent, speaks out, “I usually don’t make videos like these, but it’s absolutely necessary to send a very clear message to our entire community and in particular, our LGBTQ+ community. As you might have seen in the news, the federal government has decided to take a firm stance and have us roll back our support to the LGBTQ+ community, and of course, we’re not having it… We will continue to stand in solidarity, and as you engage this weekend and beyond, I just wanted to let you know that we got you, and everything is going to be ok.”

    "This weekend, four additional major school districts in Virginia publicly declared they will not comply with demands from the Trump administration’s Department of Education to ban transgender students from using bathrooms that match their gender. Their statements follow Loudoun County Public Schools’ vote last week to uphold protections for transgender students. Together, the five districts represent one of the most significant coordinated acts of defiance against the administration’s anti-trans education policy to date—especially as universities and hospital systems elsewhere have capitulated under similar pressure. In response, the Department of Education has begun the process to revoke funding for programs supporting students with disabilities, low-income families, and free and reduced-price lunches—heightening the stakes in what has become a nationwide battle over civil rights in education.

    "The school districts refusing compliance with the Trump administration include Alexandria City Public Schools, Arlington Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Prince William County Public Schools. This is in addition to Loudoun County Public Schools, which was the first district to defy Trump administration demands."
