New anti-trans sports bill in Tennessee, as mental health crisis surges

Published

on

An anti-trans bill has been passed in the Tennessee State House that will withhold public funds from schools that allow transgender students to participate in sports

The bill passed with a vote of 66-22 and adds to the law that requires schools to determine a student’s birth gender.

Last year, a law was put into place that requires schools to determine a student’s gender, for purposes of participation in school sports, by the student’s sex at the time of birth.

It’s not clear how much money will be withheld from districts, but they will be liable if they fail to act and abide by the new legislation.

There has been widespread division surrounding transgender students participating in sports.

Multiple bills are now targeting transgender students, with some saying it has sparked a mental health crisis in youth.

This comes as celebrities take to social media to condemn the discriminatory bills against the LGBTQ community.

Superstar Ariana Grande has pledged to match up to $1.5 million in donations to advocacy groups. She wants to help fight the wave of anti-trans bills circulating through state legislatures.

This year alone, the United States has passed hundreds of bills that limit the rights of the LGBTQ community. However, these are mainly targeted toward transgender people.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
