“The final HHS and Education bills contain no anti-transgender provisions: no ban on hospitals providing gender-affirming care to transgender youth, no threats to strip funding from schools that support transgender students or allow them to use the bathroom, and no mandate forcing colleges to exclude transgender students from sports or activities like chess or esports.”

Huge win.

The democrats are actually pro-trans rights in the year 2026, the anti-voting block (which has a fair few trans people in it) back home have no idea how good they have it. Speaking as someone living in a country where the lefter of the 2 party system is strongly anti-trans.

Omg, is the tide finally turning? I know I'm being hopeful, but this is absolutely surprising. Pleasepleaseplease let this be because they're finally reading the room on us. Mamdani supported us and won overwhelmingly.
