Erin Reed updated her national risk map this week, moving Idaho to the "Do Not Travel" list — bathroom use there can carry a five-year sentence — and South Carolina to "Worst Laws Passed" after it extended its bathroom ban to universities.

A federal judge in Washington declined to block the FTC from proceeding against WPATH in Texas, leaving the body that writes the standards of care most clinicians in the US rely on without interim protection to fight the agency. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed an appropriations bill that ends transition-related care for transgender people in state custody, effective July 2.

The Supreme Court's sports ruling is now doing its downstream work: two New Hampshire students dropped their challenge to the state's athletics ban, and conservative groups are pressuring the YMCA to abandon trans-inclusive policies at facilities where many patients swim, train, and rehab.

Democrats are splitting over the ruling in public: at a Massachusetts Senate primary debate, Ed Markey accused Seth Moulton of having taken the same position the Court just took. In an opinion piece for The Buckeye Flame, NV Gay writes that Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, weeks after marching in Columbus Pride, chose to legitimize HB 68 rather than defend the youth it targets. And in an opinion column for the Washington Blade, a Navy healthcare worker's favorable court ruling changed little about the administration's treatment of trans service members.

The week's counterweight came from California, where a judge halted a Justice Department probe into a hospital's gender-affirming care, finding it likely unconstitutional. Cleveland and Columbus also won a federal ruling against executive orders that barred cities from spending federal grant dollars on programs touching “DEI” or "gender ideology."

Erin Reed traces how UN special rapporteur Reem Alsalem has used her mandate to launder anti-trans policy internationally, work that the Supreme Court's sports decision now echoes. In the UK, a Cambridge and UKHSA study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases found that sexually transmitted Shigella is spreading and acquiring resistance far faster than other strains, with more than 70% of sexually transmitted isolates resistant to at least one clinically relevant antibiotic against 40% of non-sexually transmitted cases, and 2,560 sexually acquired cases recorded in England last year.

In South Africa, Discovery Health will review transgender healthcare coverage after members backed a motion on equitable medical scheme benefits. New Zealand's government is revisiting trans inclusion guidelines for community sport following Auckland Pride's legal action. And Nikkei goes inside India's largest transgender festival, where thousands of trans women gather each year for a ritual wedding.

Know your rights under the EHRC code: QueerAF lays out what the new UK guidance actually requires, what remains contestable, and how to push back on a code a growing number of MPs call unworkable.

Route Ohio patients to community organizations: The Buckeye Flame's statewide nonprofit guide is a referral list for providers who need somewhere to send people beyond the clinic.

Offer IPV survivors an alternative to shelters: One Ohio organization is booking hotel rooms for LGBTQ+ survivors who fear mistreatment by social workers, healthcare staff, and police — a model worth naming when a patient says they won't go to a shelter.
