Johnson, appearing on America's Newsroom on Fox News Friday, was asked by host Dana Perino if "there has to be some sort of accountability on the transgender front." The shooter, Robin Westman, who killed two children and wounded 18 (some sources say 17) people at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis Wednesday, has been reported to be transgender. Westman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.

The Prep initiative was created in 2010 to help prevent teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Accountability is coming, said Andrew Gradison, acting assistant secretary of ACF, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas. The Trump administration will ensure that Prep reflects the intent of Congress, not the priorities of the left.

For almost three years, a University of Wyoming sorority has been the unlikely epicenter of a national battle over belonging. U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson's 35-page ruling not only rejected the plaintiffs' claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract, but also declared that Kappa, as a private nonprofit, has the right to define "woman" on its own terms. "In short, we are required to leave Kappa alone," Johnson wrote.

Amanda Vickers, a member of the Riverside Unified School District board, said: "There is a difference between biological girls and biological boys. And, tonight, the girls of Riverside Polly High School [are] not going to end up like Payton McNabb." Vickers' comment refers to a 2022 incident in which former high school volleyball player McNabb was struck in the head by a ball returned by a trans opponent, which she claims left her with permanent brain damage.

The latest character to enter the revolving door of President Donald Trump's federal staff is a well-known antagonist of transgender Americans. Andrew Bailey, former Missouri attorney general, has been appointed a co-deputy director of the FBI. The current official in the role, Dan Bongino, came under fire for his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse case, triggering rumors about his potential future-or lack thereof-at the bureau. This comes as legal attacks on gender-affirming care for trans people heat up at the Department of Justice.

The Department of Education has now followed through on that, denying any funding to those Virginia school districts that decline to change their policies.

The Independent is committed to providing on-the-ground reporting during critical moments in US history, focusing on diverse issues from reproductive rights to climate change and technology.

Victoria McCloud, the UK’s first transgender judge, is challenging the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex in a case at the European Court of Human Rights. McCloud argues the Supreme Court undermined her rights under Article 6 by not allowing her participation and failing to consider evidence from any transgender groups.

"This isn't just a fight for us," Technical Sgt. Alyx Anguiano told The Advocate. "It's a threat to every person who has served or is currently serving."

McCallister is one of 32 plaintiffs in Talbott v. United States, a federal lawsuit challenging the reinstated ban on military service by transgender people.

Five transgender plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against Georgia corrections officials regarding a new law that prevents them from receiving gender-affirming medical care. The lawsuit claims this law violates the Eighth Amendment by constituting cruel and unusual punishment. The plaintiffs represent nearly 300 incarcerated individuals in Georgia prisons, arguing that the law has catastrophic consequences and forces trans individuals to detransition against their will.

Hospitals worried that their federal funding for Medicaid and Medicare may be jeopardized are rapidly withdrawing support from this small, vulnerable group of young people.

The case was the first gender identity discrimination case to reach the federal court and centred on the definition of sex and what it means to be a woman.

I see this issue being used to divide. I see it being used to hurt people. It's especially hurtful for trans people and people with transgender members of their family who witness themselves or people they love being used as a political football.

Noa-Lynn van Leuven has voiced her pain regarding the World Darts Federation's policy that bans trans women from competing in the women's category, calling it a personal loss.

This ruling is a devastating, direct attack on the rights and well-being of Trans youth and their families, and a disgraceful failure by the Supreme Court.

"It's not some abstract issue. This is about whether I get to live my life." After transitioning, everything shifted. My daughter found hope, felt joy, and had the energy to connect with new friends.
