The text argues for privacy and against school-based surveillance, promotes respectful engagement to challenge transphobia, and emphasizes organizing to support young people with safe housing and against genuine child abuse. It proposes “gender self-determination” over rights discourse as an inclusive, autonomy-centered framework for building collective power.","[crimethinc.com](crimethinc.com)  \nThe Fight for Gender Self-Determination  \n• Fight mass surveillance. With some of these laws mandating that school oﬃcials “out” trans and queer kids to their parents, the already troubling expansion of intrusive surveillance technologies into school programs can have especially frightening consequences for LGBTQ youth. Educate yourself and your community about privacy technology and ways to prevent software from tracking your online activity. If you’re part of a community space, oﬀer anonymous computer access so people can checkout resources and connect with others in ways they may not be able to on personal or school devices.  \n• Fight transphobia. For non-trans radicals who want to take part in this ﬁght, educate yourselves on respectful ways to address and engage with trans and non-binary people. Interrogate your own assumptions about gender. Take other people’s experiences seriously even when they diﬀer from your own.  \nTOGETHER, we can prevent the courts from ruining young people’s lives and take another step towards a world in which all are free tofulﬁll their potential on their own terms. Against patriarchy and state violence—for anarchy andfreedom.  \nAbout CrimethInc.  \n[CrimethInc. is](CrimethInc. is) a rebel alliance—a decentralized network pledged to anonymous collective action—a breakout from the prisons ofour age. We strive to reinvent our lives and our world according to the principles of self-determination and mutual aid.  \nWe believe that you should be free to dispose of your limitless potential on your own terms: that no government, market, or ideology should be able to dictate what your life can be. If you agree, let’s do something about it.  \nThe Fight for Gender Self-Determination  \nConfronting the Assault on Trans People  \nOver the last two years, a wave of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ legislation has swept the United States. Proposals in dozens of state legislatures have aimed to stop schoolteachers from discussing gen-der or sexuality—to prevent kids from using bathrooms or playing on sports teams as their selfdetermined gender—to force school oﬃcials to “out” trans kids to their parents—and to make it illegal for trans kids to get appropriate medical care.  \nThese initiatives target a vulnerable population with no political voice that is already suﬀering disproportionately high rates of suicide, houselessness, and violence—all of which will be exacerbated by these laws. At the sametime, the Supreme Court is in the process of facilitating an assault on reproductive freedom that will also have a disproportionate impact on trans people. Understood as a whole, these laws constitute a concerted attack on the rights to gender and sexual selfdetermination that LGBTQmovements have struggled to achieve for decades.  \nWhy is this happening now? What does it mean in a global context?  \nAnd what can we do to resist?  \nThey only gave us rights in the ﬁrst place because we gave them riots.  \nFrom Trans Rights to Gender Self-Determination  \nTo confront this wave of gender fascism, we need a transformative framework to describe what we’re ﬁghting for.  \nMost advocates use a rights discourse to explain their opposition to this wave of oppressive policies. We propose adiﬀerent framework: gender self-determination. We choose this language for several reasons.  \nFirst, it’s expansive. Self-determination goes beyond just defending ourselves against attacks or securing government guarantees. It means deﬁning what wellbeing means for us and creating the conditions for it on our own terms.  \nSecond, this framework centers autonomy.It doesn’t require a state or anyother  \nauthority to grant or secure our “rights.”Rights are a social construct; they have no power without authorities to enforce them, and there is no conclu-sive way to resolvediﬀerences about which rights people deserve. This is why state-sponsored“freedoms” grounded in supposedly timeless rights often erode over time.
