our short in this is deeply trans and extra gay, and is about the ways society tells us we can be whoever we want to be... unless that's trans, and we get told "no not like that"

and look at @ryehickman.bsky.social's art, it's so good!

this anthology is overflowing with amazing creators. back it!

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Preamble section 1 - looks aimed at removing trans women from women's spaces, including workplaces. No idea yet if the EO has language that tries to accomplish this.

Some states have seen bills to try to weaponize workplace nondiscrimination protections to MANDATE discrim against trans people.
