The following internal memorandum, issued on April 22, 2025 by Attorney General Pam Bondi, was obtained by Law Dork and is being published here in full.
One thing that Trump and Bondi and Musk and the entire right wing outrage machine will never do is listen to the 99% of transgender people who are happy to have transitioned. Gender-affirming care has saved my life.
They are using the same lies and waving the bloody shirt propaganda that was used in the 1930s to justify force detransitioning, torturing, and murdering trans people. The same G-d damned lies.
You should know better than that, Miranda. They don't want us to be happy. They want us down. And that is why we do what we do. To Save ourselves and each other.
What is "tragic and absurd" is the abject repudiation of biological science. Biologists have long understood that gender is non-binary, it is in fact very complex. The far right assault on education, science and facts is extremely telling. They require their supporters to remain ignorant, offering cultural enemies to distract from their regressive policies. It is as effective as it is repulsive.
citing chloe cole as a case that is “not unique” is hard to believe when she’s the only one these ppl bring up. the citations generally are just anti-trans agitprop
This is disgusting. They are so focused on preserving what they think are perfect genitalia during childhood, it's strange, demented and sick! They are lying to the public about the real children affected, no children are receiving reassignment surgery and they know it. I'm sick that they are target children who will definitely be harmed by these inhumane people. They are targeting children!
This document being released really only serves one value in the grand scheme of things, and that's to bear proof to ALL the liberals, moderates, left-leaning Christians, allies, less-than-supportive family/friends, and anybody else denying or downplaying the threats to trans people's lives and healthcare. If anybody in your life is still on the fence after reading this, well give up on them, because they've been impaled by that fence.
Aside from that, nothing here is surprising or scarier than it already has been, we all know inside that this is going on and are doing our best to push back and survive.
"Transgender" study on mice LOL. It was a study on "transgenic" mice; mice whose genome has been altered through genetic engineering. The study had nothing to do with gender.
This is hateful bigoted screed based on garbage “sources” and ignoring the reality of what services are being provided to what persons with their and their parents’ consent through appropriate trained medical personnel. The hate and ignorance reeks, as does the perpetrator of this screed.
I am afraid of what is coming. We are soon to see more "reports" coming from the administration regarding transgender care, autism, and a wealth of other issues. For the record, I am transgender, I am happy and successful. The WPATH standards are well crafted and do follow science (not the NY post and Fox). The damage being done is enormous. People are dying. When science, religion, and law are all attacked and subverted in the name of ideology, we are all in trouble.
I'm confused, this is obviously a mostly political document. In terms of action that is being ordered, how can she order the withdrawal of court findings based on wpath documents? (sep of powers) Who is she even ordering, the doj? Defendants certainly have a right to use any document they wish to cite in their defense (subject to the court's acceptance). She's in no position to order courts to do anything...
So… I don’t remember reading or hearing anything about the mutilation of girls and boys in the service of religion. This is propaganda. Pure and simple. Nothing else.
ps: the obsession with genitalia is the creepiest, most disturbing part of this whole entire thing. I certainly don’t wonder what is in someone’s drawers when I am out and about. The fact that they do, while maintaining the daily silence while sexual predators are running the government, is abhorrent and appalling. Shame doesn’t exist inside them.
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) should be a crime at any age, not just under the age of 18. FGM has no place in women's health care. It is a superstitious rite, carried out in backwards societies and is banned even in Africa, where it is most prevalent.
I find it hard to believe that Chloe Cole had a mastectomy performed on her at the age of 14. What medical professional would operate on a child who may or may not have reached menarche?
This whole memorandum is full of propaganda and not based on either medical or legal facts.
What is this administration's fixation on transgendered people really all about? Is it because they're an easy target? People don't understand why they exist? People are afraid their own children are going to 'turn' trans? I just don't get it.
It is my sincere wish that when their time comes, Bondi and every other MAGAt who contributed to the attack on democracy spend his/her/their last months in intense discomfort and pain. I'm not wishing them harm or injury, just that when they die of whatever natural cause it is, that it be long, painful and messy.
More than half of her citations are to Fox News and NY Post segments.
And she even cited the current White House 🤦♀️
That’s what I noticed, too!
Deep scientific research for this winner!

And Chloe seems to have suffered because of Instagram, not medical care...
same with Lia Thomas!

I see that "transgender mice" bullshit again - speaks to the truthfulness of the rest.
That bit is truly impressive. That they cannot even be bothered to pretend to give a shit about basic, entirely "non-woke" definitions.
TRANSGENIC MICE - Sounds woke and trans-ish!

She lost me at transgender mice.

Wow, Fox News and other deniers used as "facts". This will all change. Gird your loins, kids. It's going to be a long battle.
