As trans rights come under unprecedented attack, I refuse to settle for whispered support from allies. See my first substack article here:

Trans women in Texas are being arrested for being unhoused. It is dangerous to be a trans woman and put in a men’s facility. Help us bail out trans woman so she can come and stay at our trans shelter.

For the people in the NYC area.

There are protests today at noon at Christopher park to denounce the trans and queer erasure done by the Trump government to the history of Stonewall.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

Being with community tonight reconnected me to my Trans joy which I haven't felt in weeks. We’ll never stop existing + fighting for our rights. As said by @alokvmenon.bsky.social, “There’s magic in being seen by people who understand—it gives you permission to keep going.” #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Love seeing the protests at NYU Langone for complying with an illegal executive order from President Trump meant to intimidate hospitals from providing care to trans youth.

More to come?

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.

We are not going anywhere.

Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

1. Yesterday, New Jersey State Democratic Senate Leader Paul Sarlo called transgender women men and advocated for sports bans at every level on PBS.

His comments come as the party nationally grapples with its stance on transgender people.

New Jersey Democratic State Senator Sarlo Calls Trans Women Men, Advocates For Sports Ban

The statements, made by Democratic Senate Deputy Majority Leader Paul Sarlo, reflect an alarming uptick in transphobia among some Democrats.

Here are some nationwide relocation, mental health, and gender-affirming care resources for those in need. We will never stop fighting for our right to exist, our bodily autonomy, and our safety and well-being. Please share with the community and loved ones!

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

It really is bizarre how fixated people, and journalists in particular, are on trans kids and their healthcare.
