The Trump administration funded researchers and independent collaborators to study a correlation between transgender beliefs and political violence. The new study, which was released on Wednesday, was put together by researchers at Rutgers University, the right-leaning Manhattan Institute, and the Network Contagion Research Institute, according to The New York Post.

The Trump administration is using WNBA star Sophie Cunningham's statement that transgender athletes should not play in women's sports to boost their own policy agenda, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed to reporters during a press briefing that President Donald Trump was "following" the coverage around the Indiana Fever player's comments from an ESPN interview this week, according to The Post.

A judge has ruled this month that the anti-discrimination agency under President Donald Trump engaged in discrimination against a transgender employee, which the former worker called "devastating."

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, was formed under the 1964 Civil Rights Act to enforce anti-discrimination laws in American workplaces, Mother Jones reports. But a judge's ruling this month determined that under the Trump administration, "the federal agency tasked with helping workers who experienced hostile work environments became a hostile work environment itself."

EEOC Director of Information Governance and Strategy Marc Seawright, who identifies as a queer trans man, was “forced to resign because EEOC leadership engaged in discrimination against transgender employees, including the claimant,” administrative judge Mary Shea of the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board wrote in a ruling this month....

Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor was so upset with the majority conservative decision upholding a Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for minors, that she broke a longstanding protocol when writing her dissent.

The court voted 6-3 Wednesday. Sotomayor wrote the dissent for the liberal justices.
