#Maine takes #Trump administration to court in first lawsuit over #TitleIX dispute

The lawsuit, filed Monday by Attorney General Aaron Frey, challenges the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to halt federal funds over Maine's policy regarding #TransgenderAthletes.

April 7, 2025

"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration Monday challenging the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s decision to withhold federal funds over Maine’s policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls high school sports.
Frey’s office said funds withheld by the administration are used to feed children in schools, child care centers and after-school programming, as well as disabled adults in congregate settings.

"It is the first lawsuit to result from the Trump administration’s actions targeting Maine over trans athletes.

"'Under the banner of keeping children safe, the Trump administration is illegally withholding grant funds that go to keeping children fed,' Frey said in a written statement. 'This is just another example where no law or consequence appears to restrain the administration as it seeks capitulation to its lawlessness. The President and his cabinet secretaries do not make the law and they are not above the law, and this action is necessary to remind the President that Maine will not be bullied into violating the law.'"

If you are in England or Wales, send this to your MP so that they can see the damage that the ideological ban on puberty blockers for trans children (and only trans children) is already causing (as was repeatedly warned about).

Who does it hurt if a person

... asks to be called a different name?
... likes to wear different clothes?
... takes steps to feel more comfortable in their own skin?

Who does it hurt? No one.

Trans rights are human rights & the culture war is a distraction.

Hey, Frage an meine #trans Bubble: wisst ihr von irgendwelchen Organisationen für Eltern von (auch erwachsenen) trans Personen? Weniger als "Selbsthilfegruppe" sondern eher als Verbündeten-Organisation. Oder generell Organisationen für Verbündete (allies)?

Ich frage für eine ältere Person, die gern stärker für trans Personen einstehen würde, nicht auf social media ist und etwas tun möchte - sich aber die Organisation einer solchen Gruppe nicht selber zutraut.

#OmasGegenTransfeindlichkeit sozusagen...

For the past few weeks, a pediatrician's office that we haven't been to in nearly five years (we moved away) has been trying to reach me about just *one* of my three kids.

First they were trying to confirm that they were an active patient. Then, after not hearing back and getting absolutely no confirmation from me whatsoever about the status of said patient, they've started calling me to schedule a "much needed check up".

After five years.

Why is this random pediatrician's office suddenly remembering that we exist? Could there be something in my child's medical history that overnight turned into a *big red flag* for medical offices around the US?

All I'm saying is, maybe don't answer phone calls from old doctors offices.

And also, #ProtectTransKids

For the 1488th post in this thread, I’ll simply remind you of what that number stands for, in white supremacist numerology;

adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen

Fuck Nazis. Fuck white supremacists. Fuck everyone who aids or appeases them.

Our fight is for all, and for equal rights for all, in all its intersections. Black lives, trans rights, informed enthusiastic consent, accessibility, the works.

No one is safe until all of us are safe.

PUNCH NAZIS 👊🏻
