A Surge in Anti-Trans Legislation: 120 Bills Proposed for 2025
Lawmakers in more than a dozen states have introduced at least 120 bills explicitly targeting the transgender community or seeking to roll back rights or legal protections for trans individuals, according to transgender journalist Erin Reed.Reed, who has been tracking anti-transgender legislation for her Erin in the Morning Substack, reported that the number of bills introduced before the start of 2025 state legislative sessions is 120 — a 50% increase from the 80 bills pre-filed before the start of the 2023 legislative calendar.The bulk of the bills have been introduced in Texas and Missouri, but lawmakers in 11 other states have also embraced anti-transgender legislation as a priority for the upcoming year.That list includes Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, Washington State, and Wyoming.All those states, with the exceptions of Nevada and Washington, have Republican-controlled legislatures and passage of anti-transgender legislation is widely considered to be a fait accompli.Republicans have championed anti-transgender causes in recent years — some because they hold arch-conservative social views, but many others because they see such legislation as a wedge issue that they can use to rally Republican base voters in election years.In last year’s presidential election, President-elect Donald Trump successfully attacked Democratic nominee Kamala Harris over her past support for transgender rights.

Disney axes transgender storyline from upcoming ‘Win or Lose’ series: report
according to Variety.The character remains in the show, but several lines of dialogue in other episodes were removed or changed to comport with the top-down edict, The Hollywood Reporter reported.A clip of a storyboard sequence posted to X claims to show the controversial subject matter that was allegedly cut by the mouse house.The sequence shows an apparent girl character entering a bathroom and staring at herself in the mirror.The character then flees the bathroom in the midst of an identity crisis which is resolved, not by her father who calls her on the phone, but by the coach of the softball team.“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” a Disney spokesperson told the outlet.“Win or Lose” has had its start date pushed back to accommodate the change — now premiering on February 19 of next year.This is not Disney’s first foray into transgenderism controversy.Earlier this year, employees of the show “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” took to social media to call out Disney for banning the release of an episode that focused on a transgender character, according to The Hollywood Reporter.Disney denied that the episode was “banned” and said the decision to pull the episode had nothing to do with the transgender storyline, The Hollywood Reporter said.Pixar found itself in hot water back in 2022, when the much anticipated “Lightyear” featured a same-gender kiss that led to some countries around the world choosing to censor the flick.Disney did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Zooey Zephyr Will Not Be Banned from Restrooms
Zooey Zephyr (D-Missoula), Montana’s first out transgender lawmaker, will not be denied access to a women’s restroom at the State Capitol after all.During a meeting of the Joint Rules Committee on Tuesday, members of the Montana House of Representatives voted 10-12 to reject a proposed rule that would have prohibited all transgender women from using women’s restrooms.Senate members voted 11-7 in favor of the rule, but it failed because it needed a majority in both chambers to pass, reports NBC Montana.Had the rule passed, it would have prevented Zephyr from entering or using the women’s restroom located between the House and Senate chambers.The rule was proposed by State Rep. Jerry Schillinger (R-Circle), who cited the documentary “What is a Woman?”, a 2022 film produced by the conservative website The Daily Wire that challenges the very idea of transgender identity and mocks those who believe transgender women are women.Schillinger’s rule led some lawmakers to question how such a ban would be enforced and whether legislators would need to be tested for chromosomes or the ability to produce eggs before being allowed to use the women’s restroom.“If there’s a question over the chromosomes of a legislator, then does the legislature itself force the legislator to take some type of test, and then those results be made public?” asked State Rep.

Senate Bill Would Fully Erase Transgender Identity in U.S.
Defining Male and Female Act of 2024” seeks to enshrine gender-specific definitions of various words into law, including the terms “girl,” “boy,” “father,” “mother,” “female,” and “male.”The bill defines sex as fixed at birth and binary, and defines gender, in certain contexts, as a synonym for sex, while expressly not including gender identity or gender expression.Under the bill, “male” and “female” are defined as individuals who naturally have — or would have, but for a congenital anomaly — a reproductive system that produces, respectively, sperm or eggs for fertilization.The bill states that “rare disorders of sexual development are not exceptions to the binary nature of sex,” and that “in no case is an individual’s sex determined by stipulation or self-identification.”Marshall, an OB/GYN by trade, argues that due to recent “confusion” surrounding the definition of sex — which he defines as a “biological truth” — the bill is needed to codify those meanings permanently into law.The bill also states that maintaining sex-segregated facilities or sports leagues based on physical differences between the sexes shall not be considered “unequal treatment under the law,” which appears to be an effort to protect against lawsuits brought by transgender advocates.Marshall said in a news release that the bill would push back against the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology,” would ban transgender athletes from female sports, and would ensure that restrooms, locker and dorm rooms, prisons, and shelters for victims of sexual assault continue to be separated by sex.“As a physician who has delivered over 5,000 babies, I can confidently say that politicizing children’s gender

Maryland Pays $750K to Trans Inmate Beaten by Guard
viciously beaten and choked by a corrections officer.The lawsuit stems from an incident in June 2019, when Amber Maree Canter — who is currently in custody at the North Branch Correctional Institution in Maryland — was on pre-trial hold at Baltimore City’s Central Booking and Intake Facility.In her lawsuit, Canter claimed that she had developed a reputation among Central Booking correctional officers as a vocal advocate for transgender rights and frequent critic of some of the facility’s policies prior to the incident, which was sparked by a dispute over Canter being denied recreational time outside of her cell.According to Canter, Correctional Officer Zanel Santana, who was called in as backup during the verbal dispute, became threatening and abusive towards her after she staged a singular “sit-in” to protest being denied recreational time outside of her cell, something prison officials had previously promised.After Canter refused to head back to her cell, Santana allegedly yanked Canter up and placed her in a chokehold until she lost consciousness, at which point he and two other officers carried her body for several feet before dropping Canter on her face on the concrete floor.The officers then dragged Canter’s body back to her cell and did not seek out medical help for nearly 10 minutes, even though she had lost consciousness and sustained a serious open head wound.Canter was eventually treated for multiple injuries, including fractures to her left orbital bone, optic nerve canal, and anterior skull base, as well as multiple sinus fractures, severe bruising, and internal bleeding.Santana and other officers allegedly filed a false excessive force report about the incident.Employing the assistance of the law firm
