The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has quietly updated its policies to comply with President Trump's executive order banning trans women from competing in women's sports. Without mention of the word "transgender," the committee updated its "Athlete Safety Policy" to say that it would ensure that "women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201." Executive Order 14201 was announced on Feb. 4 2025 under the title: "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports." Here's more from NBC.

Ten years ago: not a single problem was caused in Ireland 🇮🇪, yet this is still treated like this would be the end of the world in the UK.

22nd July 2015: The Gender Recognition Act is signed into law in Ireland, allowing trans individuals over the age of 18 to self-declare their gender identity and have it legally recognised without medical or state intervention.

"Farmer v. Brennan is among the most frequently cited Supreme Court cases of all time, referred to in tens of thousands of lawsuits about inadequate medical care, moldy and contaminated food, overcrowding, understaffing, gang violence...

What most ... don’t know is that the person who paved the road for them was a transgender woman who filed her suit from a federal prison cell"

While it's certainly true that one week seems to feel very much like another in our Hot Gestapo Summer, fascism continues unabated in American society - and thus The Skinny was there once again. Check out our newsletter featuring the best of my blogging from the past ten days.

The Skinny: Hot Gestapo Summer

"If, as I and others have argued, these mass deportations are clear violations of constitutional and human rights, then ICE lawyers working to ram every brown person they can through via legally dubious methods (like say, declaring that a fake invasion by a Venezuelan gang nobody has ever heard of means you can ship people to foreign gulags without due process) would be legally accountable for their role in perpetuating these crimes. If you know what you’re doing is illegal, because you’re a lawyer, “I was just following orders” has a pretty poor track record as an excuse in court. So you can understand why it might behoove immigration judges, who literally work for Trump’s executive branch, not the judiciary, to hide the names of government attorneys doing the legal legwork for a fascist ethnic-cleansing project; a project that probably represents a real as fuck crime against humanity if several international scholars are to be believed. This isn’t about protecting ICE attorneys, it’s about protecting folks complicit in criminal atrocities."

In Lancaster County Pennsylvania a chair is worth more than the lives of trans kids. Angry Gay Grandpa was ordered to pay $17,000 in restitution and fines for accidentally spilling glue on a chair while the deaths of 5 trans youth within 18 months are being ignored.

In what may be the first of many victories, for the #Trans community Jolyon Maugham's Good Law Project has managed to get Britain’s rights watchdog, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (#EHRC) to backtrack following a legal challenge. Its latest guidance now says,

“Toilets, showers, and changing facilities may be mixed-sex where they are in a separate room lockable from the inside.'

THIS IS NOW UK LAW
