#MaineResists! #Maine officials refuse to sign #Trump agreement on #TransgenderAthletes

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said earlier this month that it would give state and local officials in Maine 10 days to sign a proposed agreement banning transgender athletes or the state would risk referral to the U.S. Department of Justice.

by Rachel Ohm, March 27, 2025

"Leaders of the Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School say they will not sign a proposed agreement from the Trump administration requiring Maine to stop allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ high school sports.

"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gave the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School 10 days to sign a proposed resolution agreement in response to its findings that Maine violated federal #TitleIX law by allowing a transgender high school student to compete in a girls’ indoor track championship last month.
Thursday marks 10 days since the Maine entities were notified of #DHHS’ findings and presented with a proposed resolution.

"'In a letter to the community Thursday, the school board of School Administrative District 51, which includes Greely High School, said the district will not sign the agreement.

"'As stated during our Board meeting on March 6th, MSAD 51 will continue to follow state law and the #MaineHumanRightsAct (#MHRA),' the letter said. 'Compliance with the proposed (agreement) would be a violation of current Maine law.'

"A spokesperson for the #MPA said Wednesday it also will not sign the agreement. The MPA also sent a letter to DHHS last week saying the federal agency doesn’t have any jurisdiction over the private non-profit organization and asking it to dismiss its finding of a violation.

"'The Maine Principals’ Association is bound by the law, including the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA), which our participation policy reflects,' the MPA said in a statement Wednesday. 'We are unable to sign any resolution agreement that would mandate we create a new policy that would violate the law and MHRA. As such, we have not signed and will not sign the resolution agreement sent by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.'"

[...]

"The Trump administration has said it could refer the findings to the U.S. Department of Justice if the agreement is not signed. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has also threatened to sue Maine if the state refuses to comply with Trump’s executive order calling for a nationwide ban on transgender student-athletes.

#Trump's #TransgenderRights rollbacks prompt allies to adjust travel warnings

by Avery Lotz, March 23, 2025

"Several European countries have adjusted travel guidelines for citizens seeking to enter the U.S. as the Trump administration has implemented several rollbacks on #transgender rights.

"The big picture: #Finland, #Denmark and #Germany urged cautionary planning for #trans and #nonbinary travelers seeking to enter the U.S. following an executive order requiring the federal government to recognize only two sexes: male and female.

- The advisory changes come as citizens from several European countries and beyond have been detained by U.S. immigration authorities over issues with travel visas.

[...]

"The Trump administration has made rolling back rights for transgender Americans a key priority of its early days in office, targeting military service, gender-affirming care, sports participation, federal recognition and other aspects of everyday life.

- References to trans Americans — and other minority groups — have been wiped across federal websites.
- However, many of the administration's measures have hit legal barriers in court."

Headline: ACLU of Michigan aims to intervene after Trump admin drops transgender discrimination case

Source: @michiganadvance

From the article: "The ACLU of Michigan announced it is seeking to intervene in a federal transgender rights lawsuit after the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission told the court it would drop the case due to President Donald Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies not to promote “gender ideology.”

"The Commission’s investigation into the case found that Asher Lucas, a transgender man, and his coworkers Regina Zaviski and Savannah Nurme-Robinson, each lost their job at a Culver’s restaurant in Clarkston after going to supervisors with concerns that Lucas was being mistreated by a fellow coworker because he is transgender.

"Following an investigation the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Culver’s and its associated business entities on Oct. 25, 2024, seeking relief for Lucas as well as Zaviski and Nurme-Robinson. However, under the Trump administration, the commission has moved to dismiss its claims in this case, as well as other workplace discrimination cases filed on behalf of transgender employees across the nation, though the ACLU notes the Supreme Court has deemed employment discrimination against transgender people a violation of federal law."

[Editorial] Transgender Americans have been under unrelenting assault since the Trump administration entered office. But queer lawmakers in Montana led their Republican-dominated legislature to defeat two anti-trans bills this week, proving this is no time for despair.

I wonder...

@jasonbeets @gwaldby

I live in #Texas. No effing way am I helping fund #Democrats in other states unless and until the #DemocraticParty starts acting like a legitimate #opposition party.

Especially any #Democrat who publicly distances themself from #transgenderRights. Because, either you believe it is perfectly reasonable for the #government to tell people what they can or cannot do with their own bodies, or you don't. The logic that denies gender-affirming #healthcare is the exact logic used to deny #ReproductiveJustice. Either people have a right to #BodilyAutonomy or they don't. There is no #centrist position here.

#Crimethinc: From #Inclusion to #Resistance - Neither Trump’s Trans Ban nor Assimilation, but Total Liberation

2017-07-27

[Excerpt]: "What’s radical about trans students contesting bathroom and gender assignment is the possibilities this opens for all students to contest #authority. If we don’t accept their rules regarding which toilets to use, why should we accept the legitimacy of the system that functions as a school-to-prison pipeline? While we support anything that can reduce the misery of trans kids, we also recognize that trans-inclusive bathroom policies are a safety valve intended to divert student resistance and to bolster the legitimacy of a failing public school system. As with marriage and the military, trans liberation in schools isn’t just a question of easing our inclusion into them. It would demand something more like #dismantling them altogether.

"It’s strategic for defenders of the status quo to re-center the #LGBT rights debate around trans people in the military at this moment. As #transgender, #genderqueer, and #NonBinary communities are appearing in mass media and popular consciousness in unprecedented numbers, an optimist might speculate that US gender relations could come up for renegotiation—along with all the institutions they undergird. What better way to protect those relations and institutions than by reducing the scope of the discussion to the most reactionary formulation possible: integration into the military?

"It’s better for both liberals and conservatives that we stop talking about radically #reconfiguring #HealthCare, #sexuality, #education, the #economy, and numerous other social institutions shot through with #patriarchal norms."

CrimethInc.From Inclusion to Resistance Do we really want to legitimize the US military in return for inclusion in its ranks? How does this question sit in the decades-long history of LGBT struggles? And why is it coming up again today?

#Maine Education Department Tells #PublicSchools to Ignore Trump’s Order on #Transgender Ideology

By Seamus OthotJanuary 22, 2025

"Maine’s Department of Education (DOE) issued a statement on Tuesday opposing President Donald Trump’s day-one executive order that officially acknowledges there are only two sexes and preserves women-only spaces from males.

“The Executive Order ‘Defending Women From Gender ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government’ applies to the Federal government/Federal government agencies only and does not inhibit the force of Maine law or locally-adopted school board policies,” said the DOE’s priority notice."
