"The federal Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights referred Maine to the Justice Department for enforcement of what it alleges are Title IX violations stemming from allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports.

"The office announced the referral in a post on social media shortly after 5 p.m.
'HHS will continue to protect women’s sports and keep the promises of Title IX for America’s women and girls,' the office said.

"The announcement comes a day after Maine officials refused to sign a proposed agreement to stop allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ high school sports by a Thursday deadline.

"Maine officials refuse to sign Trump agreement on transgender athletes
A spokesperson for Attorney General Aaron Frey’s office declined to comment Friday evening.

"Spokespeople for Gov. Janet Mills did not immediately return a request for comment. The Justice Department did not immediately return questions about its next steps and potential enforcement actions submitted through its media portal."

Fed up Judge is sick of Trump

#TransandNonbinaryRightsAreHumanRights :heart_trans: :heart_nb:

IMO: I hear about #trans in the #USmilitary and #TransAthletes suffering in the USA and I see people stand up for them. Rightfully so. But what a big movement to #ProtectTransKids

What about protecting low income trans people when they have use ID to get housing, food and healthcare?

What about the special issues trans immigrants, asylum seekers, POCs, etc have to deal with?

What about fighting against the confiscation of trans :heart_trans:, nb :heart_nb: and genderqueer :genderqueerflag: people's passports? How are trans , etc people treated coming to the US and how are peopel leaving the US treated?

If you can't even be a blond, German, cis, het, male, middle class traveller without being brutalised by the U.S., what does one think can happen when someone is LGBTQIAplus, esp trans and esp. a POC?

Where are the BIG protests for queer rights? Where are the big protests to demand that people are allowed to use whatever pronoun people want to use?
