"Fascism"—New Federal Rule Would Require Federal Funding Recipients To Deny Trans People Exist

The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."

THIS IS OPEN TO COMMENT UNTIL JULY 13, 2026

[featherandstorm]

This is all very bad and horrible, but I want to be clear that it’s worse and more sweeping than just eliminating trans research.

This torches everything. And I do mean everything.

A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):

ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives

allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason

preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies

requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.

What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.

Please, if you only ever write one public comment, this is the one to do.

[genderkoolaid]

Bringing back this guide to writing an effective public comment. This gives you the basics you need to know, what you need to include, a basic outline you can follow, etc.

Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:

"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"

But also, if possible, don't stop at writing a comment. Don't stop at calling your representatives. You should ideally be talking to people in your community about this and organizing resistance on-the-ground; there is a good chance people are already doing that even if you aren't hearing about it.

The life of this child in the Gaza Strip is more important than the next post, so please don’t scroll past. Baby Ronza needs our help.

[plumpydoll]

Ronza is suffering from anemia and malnutrition and urgently needs care and attention, but the cost is high, and her family cannot afford it on their own without our support.

[plumpydoll]

She is in a lot of pain… she is just a baby, only one and a half years old, and she needs our help now. Please donate whatever you can to their campaign, even $5 or $10 can make a huge difference. But Zeina cannot do this alone.

Zeina is also a young child in the Gaza Strip, helping support her family. It is winter, the cold is harsh, they are living in a tent, and her sister urgently needs treatment.

[plumpydoll]

Please, give any help you can. And don’t assume that someone else will take care of it—because that may not happen. If you truly cannot donate, the least you can do is share.

[ellevandersneed]

Please please please do what you can to help baby Ronza.

[blackporls]

hii im either gonna wipe/remake this blog or just delete it!

if you wanna keep in contact DM me for my discord 💗

One day before the arrest of Venezuela’s president, Netanyahu was sitting comfortably in the United States, welcomed and protected. A man the world calls a criminal is treated with honor, while others are punished in their own countries. This contrast exposes how dishonest and hypocritical this world really is.

[nourasbasha]

[nourasbasha]

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza for two years, killing, displacing, and starving us while the international community, international law, and the International Criminal Court remain silent-a court whose entire existence has proven to be a lie. Multiple arrest warrants have been issued against Netanyahu, yet no one in the world has dared to arrest him. Meanwhile, the US arrested President Nicolás Maduro in his own country without anyone saying a word. Please, don't remain silent about this injustice. We are dying and suffering here while the rest of the world lives in peace and security. We are being bombed and killed. Please help us and donate to us.

GoFundMe - Verified #644

Please donate to us. We deserve to live in safety and peace. Please donate now.

[nourasbasha]

Sometimes I wonder what justice even means anymore.Is it humane to protect those who destroyed our lives, while four small children sleep in a tent, exposed to rain and cold, coughing through the night, while we stay awake afraid of the dark? We don't fear the cold alone. We fear what the night brings with it. Rats. Wild animals.

A baby in our camp was bitten while sleeping. Three months old. Since then, we don't sleep.If there is a crime that deserves to be questioned, maybe it is this life forced upon children. Maybe this is what should be judged.

[sporesgalaxy]

Our leadership in America uses the rhetoric of justice, but the current regime operates only in the interest of short-sighted personal gain.

There are unacceptable things happening in the world because of the U.S. president and monsters like him, but we aren't powerless. We can reach out to other people who need help and support each other 🫂

Please continue to help Mohamed and his family with their vetted campaign. Sharing and giving what you can will mean a better future for them, despite everything corrupt world leaders have done to take that from them.

[nourasbasha]

Think for a moment about four children living through all these dangers in a tent after our lives and home were destroyed... Doesn't that make you capable of doing something for us, whether it's sharing this post or making a donation, whatever it may be?
