daily newsletter 9/11

Hi folks,

🏛️ The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to let South Carolina enforce a law requiring public schools to bar transgender students from using restrooms aligned with their gender identity, leaving in place a lower court's injunction blocking the law and protecting a 15-year-old boy.

👀 Following the killing of Charlie Kirk and on 9/11, Donald Trump Jr. has made the outrageous and false claim that transgender people are more dangerous than terrorist groups.

👏🏽 Anti-transgender U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace lost it this week after her colleague Sara Jacobs, a trans ally, defended trans people's access to single-sex spaces and pointed out that cisgender people receive gender-affirming care too. Sorry, Nancy, those are just facts.

Onward and upward,

Alex Cooper
