The Anti-Trans Crusade: From Washington to Warsaw
Under the guise of protecting children, defending the family or upholding moral order, the rights of trans people are being systematically challenged. Access to gender-affirming healthcare, particularly for young people, is attacked, restricted or criminalised, with immediate consequences: forced exile, internal displacement and families at risk. These policies expose a reality often overlooked: LGBTQIA+ rights are neither linear nor permanently secured. By examining contexts where backlash is already institutionalised alongside others where it is gaining ground, this discussion analyses the circulation of moral panics and reactionary strategies, and explores the forms of collective resistance needed to confront this political offensive.

Just Kids
In the United States, three families live in states that have banned gender-affirming care. Faced with laws that directly threaten the health of their transgender children, they are forced to make an impossible choice: remain and risk their safety, or leave everything behind. Filmed over the course of a year, the documentary exposes the human impact of policies targeting minorities, closely following its protagonists and amplifying the voices of transgender pioneers and civil rights experts.
