Today, March 31, we celebrate Trans Visibility Day, and I am happy to use this opportunity to turn to the people in my community with good news. I have finally won in the courts of Romania! It is not only my victory, but also ours - of those who are still waiting to be seen, heard and recognised.

I see you, and it makes me so happy to see you. There is such a disconnect between what we say America is about and what it is right now. True freedom is the freedom to be who we are, and it hurts my heart so much that in some parts of this country, it is unsafe for trans people to do that right now.

This idea that I became obsessed [with gender recognition reform] to the exclusion of everything else is just a nonsense thing that some of my opponents say.

At least 147 of the 378 Labour parliamentarians using the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, are following the controversial 'gender-critical' pundit's account where she regularly posts her heavily controversial opinions on trans rights. This means 36 per cent of Labour's entire parliamentary caucus follows Rowling's main account.

We think it failed properly to recognise the nature and scope of the positive obligations imposed by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights to protect the rights of trans and intersex people, and to avoid relegating them to 'an intermediate zone as not quite one gender or the other'.

We need to have the political power that any group needs to survive against an authoritarian regime. We are entering year two with the same level of scrappiness that got us here in the first place.

Caitlyn Jenner is an attention w***e who completely betrayed the trans community and has said she is not a spokesperson for the trans community just her own journey. Jenner is vile and a fraud. Does she not realize they make fun of her behind her back and say ugly things?

Europe's parliament has agreed to a resolution declaring that trans women are women. The resolution, adopted last week, made a host of recommendations for the EU to pursue at the 70th annual UN Commission on the Status of Women, which is set to take place next month. Among the recommendations was a proclamation emphasising the "importance of the full recognition of trans women as women, noting that their inclusion is essential for the effectiveness of any gender-equality and anti-violence policies".

Civil rights pioneer Rev. Jesse Jackson has passed away at age 84. Jackson rose from being an aide to Martin Luther King Jr. to being one of the most celebrated civil rights leaders in the U.S., including strong support for marriage equality. "Marriage is based on love and commitment - not on sexual orientation," he once said. "I support the right for any person to marry the person of their choosing."

President Donald Trump directed the National Park Service (NPS) to remove the Rainbow Pride Flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City on February 5, 2026. This came just one year after the NPS deleted all references to transgender and queer people from its website of the Stonewall National Monument through Trump's executive order. The initialism that once read LGBTQ+ has been reduced to LGB, standing for lesbian, gay, and bisexual.

Over the last year, the Tr*mp administration has aimed to eradicate trans people from public life, issuing executive orders that curtail their access to healthcare and vital services. Trans people also face restrictions on selecting their gender for travel documents, using public restrooms and the ability to serve openly in the military. Last year, the Supreme Court upheld a state ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and seems poised to uphold a trans sports ban this session.

During those 10 years, her students have created 63 new articles and edited 588 others, adding 332,000 words and more than 3,000 citations across pages that have collectively been viewed more than 900 million times. "As a professor, I am really proud of the impact my students are having to make sure that Wikipedia reflects the diversity of the world," Rodríguez told PinkNews.

"Without action, we will continue to see inclusive spaces and organisations dragged through the courts and faced with a choice between betraying their values or facing financial ruin," Trans+ Solidarity Alliance policy advisor, Sandra Duffy, said.

Choo and Nguyen jointly voiced their support for a member resolution encouraging sponsors to "show support for the trans community" through their parade floats.

I take the subject extremely seriously. She has created this amazing canon for young people and it has jumped into the consciousness of the society. It's about good versus evil, kindness versus cruelty.

As a transgender woman, the past year has been defined by fear, instability, and constant vigilance. The administration has actively moved to take away my medically necessary hormone therapy while simultaneously undermining basic civil rights including legal identification, passport recognition, and even the right to safely use a restroom. I've spent enormous emotional energy fighting insurance denials, preparing for care interruptions, and worrying whether my existence will continue to be treated as political leverage rather than a matter of human dignity and survival.

The Pride organisation faced widespread criticism after announcing it would not uphold a set of resolutions proposed in November 2025 by members of the public during its annual general meeting. One of the resolutions rejected by the Board of Directors called for the main focus of the 2026 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival to be the rights of transgender and non-binary people by "encouraging parade floats to show support for the trans community."
