NCTE

State Rep. Merill Nelson argues the sanctity of the definitions of “gender identity” and “sex” is more important than the consequences for trans people.

He is a Cuban-American trans man and seasoned advocate poised to replace NCTE founder Mara Keisling.

Despite saying she doesn’t know if the trans community trusts her, the founder of the embattled transgender organization isn’t leaving: ‘I can’t even express to you how frustrating this is to me.’

This comes after ex-employees of the NCTE banded together to write a scathing open letter explaining the alleged institutional discrimination that caused them to leave.

Betsy DeVos’s Department of Education is jumping to investigate the complaint – and emails show the Office of Civil Rights pushed them to do it.

“As long as you fight, we don’t care what gender you identify as.”

He ran robocalls against his boss’s opponent, claiming she’s a big supporter of trans rights. In reality, neither of them support the LGBTQ community.

Organizations and activists discussed what the day means and expressed their feelings on the past year.

The organization wants everyone to know: “Every time they attack us, we get stronger, they get weaker.”

European diplomats are concerned by U.S. pressure to remove references to “gender” in human rights documents.

Donald Trump and Mike Pence want to radically change the legal definition of “gender” to write trans people out of federal law.

“This move seems designed to frighten, confuse, and keep transgender people from exercising their full rights.”

Advocates of LGBTQ rights took to Twitter immediately following the announced “compromise.” Read their reactions and share your comments with us.
