Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Elementary human rights under the assault of the white/binary supremacists: transphobic law signed in Tennessee

Students will have to prove their sex before playing

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Friday signed a bill into law that will prohibit transgender students from playing on the team of the sex with which they identify, one of numerous such bills currently working their way through statehouses around the country.

Tennessee's H.B. 3 directs that "a student's gender for purposes of participation in a public middle school or high school interscholastic athletic activity or event must be determined by the student's sex at the time of the student's birth, as indicated on the student's original birth certificate".

The rule effectively bars transgender athletes from selecting a team based on their internal sense of "gender identity".

"I signed the bill to preserve women's athletics and ensure fair competition", Lee said in a tweet following the signing.
