"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."

"Now I've shot so many Nazis, Daddy will have to buy me a sable coat." (From his Wikipedia article).

Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger

June 9, 1911-April 27, 1997.

Bunny Roger killed a bunch of Nazis and then invented Capri pants.

He was expelled from Oxford for his indiscrete gayness (discrete gayness being perfectly fine at Oxford and part of the curriculum until...today probably, at least like 1992?). Then, having been sent down to London, he started his own fashion business, and his first client was Vivien Leigh.

Bunny served in WWII, killing fascists in North Africa and Italy, and often wearing a mauve scarf in the field. Roger claimed that he had gone into a battle brandishing a rolled-up copy of VOGUE and commanding: "When in doubt, powder heavily!"

Roger was known in high society for his themed soirées; Diamond, Amethyst, and Flame Balls were held to celebrate his 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays. He wore a curious plum colored catsuit with a feathered headdress at his 70th birthday ball in 1981. At his 80th, he made his entrance in a catsuit of scarlet sequins with a cape of orange organza, greeting his guests from behind a wall of fire. His parties were covered by the newspapers, including a New Year's Eve Fetish Ball where the proper upper class mixed with young guests in rubber S/M gear.

From an obituary: "Beneath his mauve mannerisms, Bunny was stalwart, frank, dependable and undeceived; to onlookers a passing peacock, to intimates, a life enhancer and exemplary friend."

From another obituary:

He served valiantly in every way.

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

Mexico has rewritten its constitution to guarantee every worker in the country a shorter working week, a legal right to switch off from work after hours, and a guarantee that no employer can cut their pay in response, enacting in a single legislative package a set of labor rights that workers in wealthier countries have spent decades campaigning for without success.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him asking Margaret to close for him in the OR and being met with the fact she isn't the nurse he's operating with.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him building a still and, for the first time, realising BJ isn't there to take the first sip with him.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him looking for someone to complain to and having to come to terms with the fact not everyone is as patient as Potter was with him.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him donating his change to the church every Sunday, knowing Mulcahy would have been overjoyed to receive it.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him buying a teddy bear and wondering how Radar sleeps without his.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him craving hotdogs, knowing Klinger might still be missing them, too.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him hearing a classical song play on the street and thinking about what Charles would have to say, even if he doesn't want to.

Post-war Hawkeye but it's him knowing that as much as he hates the war and what he went through, he'll always hate that he can't be with those people again.

Average Ankh-Morporkian: I heard the Patrician is shredded. I heard he has a twelve pack. I've heard vampires swoon at his feet and Lady Margolotta founded the League of Temperance after the Patrician told her "Lips that touch ichor will never touch mine". I heard he fucked his way around the Hub on the Grand Sneer and our diplomacy is so successful because every leader on the Disc is at least a little bit in love with him.

Vetinari: sitting in an armchair in the Oblong Office with Wuffles lying across a lace antimacassar on his lap, absently alternating between sipping tea, petting Wuffles, and doing the crossword in front of the fire while wearing trifocals and muttering to himself gently about the clues.
