"The reasoning: The state of Idaho appealed a trans college athlete's court victory to the Supreme Court, something that she tried to cancel so that she could end the legal process. The judge said that it would be "fundamentally unfair" to the state of Idaho to just let the state win without the Supreme Court hearing its appeal."
"What kinds of programs were targeted? The administration fired employees in the Office of Population Affairs, something that it wanted to do anyway. This office, among other things, runs informational campaigns about gender-affirming care and other LGBTQ+ health initiatives, including HIV prevention. Why it matters: The workers were helping prevent the spread of infectious diseases. "They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared," one former leader at the CDC said about the firings."
"What the people who knew her said: "Her enduring legacy is a testament to her resilience, activism, and dedication to creating safe spaces for Black trans communities and all trans people-we are eternally grateful for Miss Major's life, her contributions, and how deeply she poured into those she loved." Why it matters: Miss Majors was a lifelong activist and leader in the community - her loss will be felt deeply, and her life will continue to inspire future generations."

Miss Major Griffin-Gracey is remembered for lifelong activism and creating safe spaces for Black trans communities, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire.
