Texas summer camp provides safe place for LGBTQ kids
The girl traveled to summer camp with two friends from Austin, giggling and singing and cracking jokes on the drive up Interstate 35. She was the oldest, at 14, and the tallest, so she claimed the front seat of the Prius.

Trump’s Claim That Transgender Kids Get Surgeries At School Should Disqualify Him From Office
So the idea that any kid goes off to school without coming home for days and then they come home with an operation to apparently make them transgender is not connected to any reality whatsoever.

In any case, Trump’s suggestion that schools are performing gender surgery is not only untrue; it’s also a dangerous, unsubtle dog whistle to the QAnon followers in his party, who have long argued that Democrats are sexualizing children. We already know that this kind of rhetoric can have violent outcomes: The propagation of a similar child-abuse theory famously resulted in a 2016 attack at a D.C. restaurant.

Don’t Say You’re Sorry My Kid Is Trans | by Rowan G Marci | Prism & Pen | Aug, 2024 | Medium
“Sorry” is something you say when someone has died. My child isn’t dead, he’s right here — still the same bright, bold, beautiful person he’s always been. Even more so, in fact: more confident, more self-assured, more comfortable in his skin.
I'm exhausted and in a lot of pain. A trans girl died recently and a vigil was held for her tonight. My pain is both physical and psychic. I feel the pain of all those who grieve for Pauly Likens.

Biden Condemns Trans Healthcare Bans in Pride Declaration — Assigned
In a bold statement tying trans healthcare to the core values of independence and freedom Americans hold dear, President Joe Biden condemned anti-trans laws that have forced families to flee their homes in red states in order to continue providing medical care for their children. But you wouldn’t know it from reading mainstream media coverage of the statement (which has been near nonexistent), or even from reading LGBTQ+ media outlets, some of whom covered Biden’s statement but made little mention of Biden’s harsh condemnation transgender care bans.
Trump vows to reverse transgender student protections 'on day one'
Former President Trump said Friday he would roll back transgender student protections enacted last month by the Biden administration “on day one” of his presidency if he is reelected in November.
The Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, today upheld injunctions in two related cases against the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and former Commissioner Jaime Masters, barring them from implementing the agency’s rule expanding the definition of child abuse to presumptively treat the provision of gender-affirming care as child abuse.
