#NativeAmericaCalling: A new wave of resistance against #Trans #Native relatives

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

"Trans #NativeAmericans face a new wave of #resistance

"Iowa is testing new legal limits as the first state to remove gender identity as a protected class in the state’s civil rights code.

"The Trump administration is also removing transgender service personnel from the military. And the State Department is using existing law against #fraud to bar foreign #TransgenderAthletes from entering the country, something critics worry could be used to ban any trans traveler.

"After years of progress, Native American trans residents are facing a major rollback of favorable laws and policies. Tune in to hear about the current public climate and what might be in store for the future."

#Arizona #TwoSpirit #Powwow empowers community amid growing #AntiTrans legislation

Tuesday, March 4, 2025
By Brandelyn Clark

"The Arizona Two Spirit Powwow returned to #PhoenixArizona on Saturday, February 22, to spotlight Indigenous #LGBTQ+ and two-spirit people for a day of cultural celebration and community.

"Hosted at South Mountain Community College, the event welcomed dancers, drum groups and attendees from across the region. More than just a traditional gathering, the powwow allowed two-spirit individuals to celebrate their identities and honor their place in Indigenous culture.

“'This (powwow) is a perfect example of a #SafeSpace for people to come and dance in whatever category they want to dance in, dress the way that they feel good about themselves, love who they want to love, and they are safe here. This tells the community we are here, we are here for you,' Sheila Lopez said.

"Lopez is the founder of Arizona’s first Two Spirit Powwow and the first Native chapter of #PFLAG, which bills itself as the country’s largest advocacy organization that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.

"President Donald Trump’s recent executive actions have left #transgender and two-spirit communities uncertain about their rights and recognition going forward.

"'It is super important right now with the administration, what they’re doing to pretty much wipe away trans people. It’s super critical right now for us to continue to show up in the community, to say we’re here, we’re not going anywhere and you can’t erase us, period,' Lopez said."
