Putting this in the thread, this is referring to what revoking EO11246 does to workplace nondiscrimination law:

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

ADF has a track record of representing clients with just-so standing claims, like wedding businesses that are incorporated just long enough to challenge nondiscrimination laws protecting queer couples and are never heard from again
I'm sorry but how does this person have standing to challenge Colorado's ban on LGBTQ conversion therapy when she has explicitly disclaimed any desire to change a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity? How is this a real case? slate.com/news-and-pol...

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

This rule has been finalized and you're going to see a lot of scary-sounding posts about it but it does NOT prohibit insurance plans from covering gender-affirming care or override state-level nondiscrimination laws. It's wonkier than that; explained below
So you absolutely should take a minute and submit a comment against this proposed rule which will promote discrimination against transgender people by health insurers. Today is the last day!
However, I'm also seeing a lot of confusion among trans people about what the rule actually does, so quick🧵

If I had to say what segments of American life have taken the most serious blows, I think science, civil service, black women (and nondiscrimination law more broadly) and trans people might be my top four.
The damage being done to US science will take a generation to repair, if it is ever repaired at all,
Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
