Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

We will only provide the high-quality healthcare everyone deserves – young and old, cis and trans – when we respect the rights and dignity of all. That's why – with transphobia on the rise – we must all recognise that trans rights are human rights.

When introducing a bill to protect women’s rights & opposing politicians like Steph Hodgins-May respond “trans rights!” all they’re admitting is they know men who claim to be women aren’t women & protecting women’s rights hinders “trans rights”. Thanks for proving our point 🙋‍♀️

Claire Valdez, a Zohran Mamdani-endorsed DSA member running for Congress in NY-7, calls for a "Trans Bill of Rights" (including taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries) and calls Democrats "absolute cowards" for distancing themselves from trans activism. "We have to be focused, really enshrining their rights within universal programs and making sure that Medicare for All includes gender-affirming care and health care for trans folks. We need to make sure that we're enshrining their rights in a Trans Bill of Rights and in workplaces." "We have to hold the line on trans rights... It's absolutely essential, because the minute we start saying, 'Oh, maybe health care, but not for this group of people. Maybe health care, but not for immigrants or trans folks.' That's the minute we let fascists win."

🚨WATCH: A transgender lawmaker in New Hampshire compares the trans rights movement to black Americans who fought to end segregation. New Hampshire state Rep. Alice Wade (D) made the comment while advocating against a bill that would limit the use of facilities on the basis of sex and redefine the term "gender identity" in state law. "Giving rights to trans people does not take them away from others, just as giving rights to black Americans did not take them away from white Americans," Wade said. The bill in question, HB 1442, would prevent members of the opposite sex from using "gender identity" as a reason to access any space or service designated specifically for females or males. "When you look me in the eye and you say with all due respect, we need to take away your rights because trans people are inherently a threat. That is not with all due respect," Wade said to House Republicans who support the bill.

Many trans people are concerned and confused about what last week’s Supreme Court ruling. The UK Government must provide clear guidance to preserve the rights and dignity of all – including trans people.

Senate Bill 8: Authored by Rep. Angela Orr, encourages people to follow assumed to be transgender individuals into public restrooms. This is a direct injustice to all people’s privacy because when trans people are attacked, we are all attacked. Vote and speak out for trans rights, speak with friends and family members about discriminated groups, and join together to protect the privacy of all people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #txlege #politics

DSA House candidate Claire Valdez, endorsed by both Mamdani AND Bernie Sanders, continues campaigning on a "trans bill of rights at the federal level" and publicly-funded "gender-affirming care" "My role in Congress is to use a bully pulpit to make sure that we're talking about trans people and the care that the trans community needs and deserves and that we're winning as many resources as we can."

Senator Ed Markey is pushing for a Trans Bill of Rights to give Special Privileges to Delusional people over us. Obviously Ed Markey is becoming Trans and wants to be able to feel Special Privileges. 🤣

I stood up for trans kids before I ever considered running for office in my local community, and I'll continue to fight for the trans community in the U.S. Senate. We can find common ground without ceding ground. Trans rights are human rights. Today and always.

There's a path forward for transgender rights. Mara Keisling, a senior fellow at Searchlight, has been a leading advocate for trans rights and acceptance for 30 years. She’s seen public opinion shift significantly over that time. Trans Americans today are able to live freer, fuller lives than they would have all those years ago. But the resurgence of anti-trans sentiment in civil society and government should concern all of us. Over the past year, Searchlight has surveyed the American public on the rights and acceptance of trans people. More than 34,000 across six rounds of polling. The results provide Mara and advocates like her with a path forward — starting with a renewed focus on equal treatment and civil rights. Banning discrimination and harassment of trans people in the workplace or housing. Keeping politicians out of deeply personal health care decisions. Emphasizing parents and their role in deciding what’s best for their kids. Leaders should push for equal treatment and civil rights. And they should avoid aimless messaging bills or confusing language that only alienates the public and stokes anti-trans sentiment.

The Scottish Parliament passed the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill because trans people deserve to live with dignity. The UK government cannot be trusted with trans rights, women’s rights or with devolution. Justice will prevail.
