UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Do not watch the HBO series.
Do not buy wizard game (2).

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Newsom is likely going to let the other bills go into effect quietly, and the education bill is only a couple lines of text where gender is not mentioned.

I'm going to be watching much more closely on what he does with the bills that are explicitly about LGBTQ+ topics.

Gdi I cannot overstate how often I see these ads. Its so obnoxious.

On top of that, just like in your article, I think I only know ANY of Earle-Sears' stances because of Spanburger's ads against her.

That being said the I AM SPEAKING over and over never fails to amuse me

1. Abigail Spanberger is pulling ahead in the Virginia Governor Race, as her opponent, Earle-Sears blankets the state with anti-trans ads.

Now, a new poll shows why those ads are failing: Voters don't care about trans issues.

Those who do? They're Democrats.

Last December, Senate Dems had no anti trans provisions in their NDAA and the house did. Many thought the Senate Dems would stop those provisions.

They didn’t. Last minute, 37 Dems voted for it.

We must take no chances with the appropriations fight.

My story from last December.

37 Democratic Senators Voted To Pass Anti-Trans NDAA. Here Are Their Names.

The vote came after most of the same Democrats refused to allow an amendment on the floor to remove the anti-trans provision in the military spending bill.
