There is already misinformation being spread about the school shooting today at Covenant school in Nashville, TN. 

There is a photo of a “Samantha Hyde” being circulated, saying that the trans woman is the shooter. THIS IS FALSE. 

At this time, 3:45pm central US time, there is no identification of the 28 year old female shooter.

Editing to add: yes, this is a joke, and it’s still harmful as fuck to the trans community to the insane republicans who will continue to believe it was a trans woman who killed those kids and say  “it’s a media cover up to protect trans ppl”

Trans rights are still under attack in the United States. Today Mississippi drops several bills on us. Please visit our website linked below to learn about your state and contact your reps. Here's a thread of today's updates

Tennessee HB0239 assigned to Civil Justice Subcommittee. This bill defines sex assigned at birth, and specifies "original birth certificate" to disregard trans people's updated birth certificates Birth certificate bills try to make it harder for trans folks to have ID match their gender identity. They tend to force a male or female designation based upon sex assigned at birth. Some ban a non-binary “X” marker or require surgery to update a birth certificate.

Nebraska's LB371 drag ban is back with an amendment filed. The usual open-ended language for drag, and making anyone under 19 even viewing drag a crime. Also targets venue owners Drag bans restrict access for folks who are gender non-conforming in any way. They loosely define drag as any public performance with an “opposite gender expression”, as sexual in nature, and inappropriate for children. This also pushes trans individuals out of public spaces.

Two healthcare bill updates today. Utah SB0016 passed committee and is on house floor. Only needs to pass the house before a final senate vote and then to the Gov. Mississippi HB1125 "Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures (reap)" Act passed the house Healthcare bills go against professional and scientific consensus that gender affirming care saves lives. Denying access will cause harm. Providers are faced with criminal charges, parents are threatened with child abuse charges, and intersex children are typically exempted.

West Virginia has a School bill, HB3001 intro'd and sent to education committee. This bill protects school officials who misgender, even if the student has supportive and consenting parents Schooling bills force schools to misgender or deadname students, ban instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity, and make schools alert parents if they suspect a child is trans. They remove life-saving affirmation and support for trans youth.

Sports bills: Hawai'i SB1429 intro'd making an unusual reach into collegiate sports as well as including much of the most common (and debunked) fear mongering language. Tennessee HB0306 sent to house education committee. Most sports bills force schools to designate teams by sex assigned at birth. They are often one-sided and ban trans girls from playing on teams consistent with their gender identity. Some egregious bills even force invasive genital examinations on student athletes.

North Dakota hearings: nothing was voted on and likely wont be until next week;

Missouri had much testimony, but no voting;

South Carolina has hearings and such pushed to next week, unsure of when exactly

In positive news, Virginia HB1434 (A school bill) was tentatively killed in committee and Utah HB132 (healthcare) failed committee

It's not too late to stop other hateful anti-trans bills from passing into law. YOU can go to http://transformationsproject.org/ to learn more and contact your representatives

For all the Republicans who thought that Gen Z was just going to sit down and shut up about what happened in Tennessee, you’re dead wrong.

A majority of the Nashville Metropolitan city council will vote to REINSTATE Justin Jones to the Tennessee legislature.

Republicans tried to silence their voices and the voices of the many Gen Z activists. They failed and they failed badly.

If you thought this was bad for Republicans, just wait until 2024. There will be a wave of young voters showing up to the ballot box and they will vote blue.

A pregnant Tennessee woman with high and rising blood pressure had to take a roughly six-hour ambulance ride to get an abortion in North Carolina, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. When she got to the second hospital several hundred miles away, her blood pressure was dangerously high and she was showing signs of kidney failure.

The woman’s doctor in Tennessee, Leilah Zahedi-Spung, is a high-risk obstetrician who spoke to the WSJ for a story about how abortion bans impact medical emergencies. Zahedi-Spung said the patient was in her second trimester when her blood pressure began rising; the fetus had been diagnosed with genetic abnormalities and wasn’t expected to survive. Zahedi-Spung worried the woman could develop life-threatening preeclampsia and thought she needed an abortion, but the procedure has been banned in Tennessee since late August. Eight states border Tennessee and abortion is banned in all but two of them. “She kept asking if she was going to die,” Zahedi-Spung told the WSJ. “I kept saying, ‘I’m trying, I’m trying, we’re going to make it happen. We just need to get you to the right place where you can be taken care of.’” She said she was relieved to see the patient alive a few weeks later. The Tennessee law, which makes providing abortions a felony, doesn’t contain explicit exceptions for abortions “necessary to prevent death or serious and permanent bodily injury”—instead, doctors have to prove the procedure was necessary via what’s known as an “affirmative defense.” The Associated Press described affirmative defense this way: “Instead of the state having to prove that the procedure was not medically necessary, the law shifts the burden to the doctor to convince a court that it was.” (Bans in North Dakota and Idaho—both of which are currently blocked—also use affirmative defense language.)

Forced birthers, you murderous cunts proud of yourselves?

“From the age of three, Lisa had listened to records in her room instead of playing with other children. But in Tennessee, she had a whole other life. She could eat anything she wanted, squish frogs, spook the security guards at 4 A.M., sign rude autographs at the gate ("F*** you, Lisa Marie Presley”), and race around the grounds in her own golf cart, sometimes with playmates Patsy and Peggy Lynn, the twin daughters of country singer Loretta Lynn, who had met Elvis when they were both in the hospital in Memphis.”

even with climate change fucking us, there's still nothing quite like September in Tennessee. still warm out, but the heat and humidity don't have the same teeth they did in August. evenings are cool, but not so cold that you can't enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch at sunset. trees are green and juuuuust beginning to turn so everything feels a bit lighter and brighter.

majority of the really annoying bugs are dead or asleep, so the cicada and grasshopper sounds are actually as pleasant as they get portrayed in fiction. migration patterns are picking up so there's a boom of hummingbirds and butterflies. all the blooms have their last hurrah before dying or bearing fruit (finally)

probably not anything special for areas with more mild summers and long, proper autumns. but there is something about toughing it out inside lucifer's taint all summer that makes September worth it.

I love it here. in spite of all the issues and all bullshit, I love it. makes it all the more heartbreaking the way it is being destroyed. but at least there are still things to enjoy for now.

I feel bad for the kid because these parents failed. But why would the girls want any boy in their restrooms? And one that has tantrums when he doesn’t get his way on top of that. He is not his female classmates problem.

US — Nashville, Tennessee. The parents of a male student whose three-part demand that a school treat their son “as the girl that she is,” refer to him with “she/her pronouns” and allow him “access to the girls’ restroom” was denied are now taking their grievances through legal channels with the aide of the Human Rights Campaign and the law firm of Linklaters.

The parents, who filed a Motion to Proceed Pseudonymously in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, are identified in court papers only as A.H., the mother, and E.H., the father. The Law

The parents are challenging HB 1233, also known as the “Tennessee Accommodations for All Children Act.” HB 1233 requires public schools to provide a “reasonable accommodation” for a person “unwilling or unable to use a multi-occupancy restroom or changing facility designated for the person’s sex” or “multi-occupancy sleeping quarters” designated for the person’s sex while attending a public school-sponsored activity. Under the law, a student, teacher, or employee has a “private right of action” against a public school if the person “encounters a member of the opposite sex in a multi-occupancy restroom or changing facility” on school property who was intentionally given access by the school. Those who bring a successful civil action against a school may be able to recover monetary damages, including lawyer’s fees.

Parents & Child

The child’s parents say their eight-year-old male child “knows herself to be female.” His mother said this became evident in August 2019 on the first day of kindergarten when the child, identified only as D.H., asked her to cut his hair so that he “would look more like a boy.” A.H. claims she gave her son a haircut and then watched “D.H.’s face fall in sadness when D.H. saw [the] haircut in the mirror for the first time.”

Two months into the following school year, D.H.’s parents began to “socially transition” him. The six-year-old declared “she/her pronouns” at elementary school. D.H.’s parents allege that teachers and students at the elementary school regularly “misgendered” the child. (To misgender is to refer to a person who identifies as transgender by his or her sex, rather than self-declared gender identity.) Students got “hostile and argumentative when [D.H.] attempted to share her gender identity with them.”

D.H. was diagnosed with adjustment disorder, which court filings explain as a psychiatric condition that “can result in significant impairment in social, occupational, and other areas of functioning with symptoms like depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts or behavior.” D.H.’s “alarming symptoms” were “reflux” as well as “migraines and nightmares.” A psychologist told the parents that the adjustment disorder was caused by D.H.’s “inability to live her life fully as a girl in all respects,” and “aggravated in particular” by his “inability to use the girls’ restroom at school.”

D.H.’s in-person learning was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and a period of online schooling. When he returned to in-person schooling in second grade, Tennessee had just passed HB 1233. School officials offered the child the choice between four single-occupancy restrooms. D.H.’s parents objected, claiming this “isolated” and “distinguished” him from the rest of his classmates, and thus was “discriminatory to D.H. and reinforced the differential treatment and trauma associated with living under the School Facilities Law.” A.H. and E.H. showed a “slideshow” designed to teach elementary school administrators how to “validate [D.H’s] feelings, identity, [and] experiences” and how to pass this teaching to staff and students.

The principal should start the validation by changing the sex marker on D.H’s records from male to female, the parents insisted. The parents also invited school administrators and teachers to attend meetings at PFLAG, a queer organization, and offered to have third-party organization GLSEN provide “‘trans 101’ training to school staff.” The school declined these demands.

The child’s behavior escalated to “explosive screaming fits and throw[ing] objects” between periods of apathy and lethargy, court filings show. Court papers allege that D.H. became the subject of “bullying and harassment” from fellow students, such as being “questioned … about her gender” by a student three times within a three-week period while on the playground, which the parents reported to the Principal. When he attended the elementary school’s Daddy-Daughter Dance, he was asked whether he was “really a girl” and was informed that he was a “boy in a girl’s dress,” court papers claim. He was also allegedly subjected to “physical assault” at a bus stop by a child who repeatedly yelled, “This kid is gay!” The Lawsuit

The parents lawsuit claims that Tennessee’s “School Facilities Law” violates his rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In addition to monetary damages, they are asking the court to stop school officials from enforcing the law; order the school to allow their son to use the multi-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms and sleeping quarters with girls; mandate that other Tennesseans be allowed to access the sex-specific facilities of their preference while in public schools; and order the school to change their son’s sex marker on his school records from male to female.
