Yet another tragedy they're trying to blame on trans people.
Alt text: Screenshot of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) by a verified account named Derrick Evans. The post contains the text “Transgender Terrorist.” and claims that a person named Renee Good, using she/her pronouns, was identified as having attacked ICE agents. Below the text is a collage: on the left, a portrait photo of a person with short light-brown hair wearing a green top; on the right, an Instagram profile screenshot for “renee.n.good” showing the name Renée Good with she/her pronouns and a brief bio. At the bottom is a still from a video showing a winter street scene with snow, several vehicles, and a law enforcement officer holding a shield near a pickup truck.

We have the video. These are just brazen lies by DHS. They murdered her in cold blood.

Fenway Health just sent this message to all of their patients. They are lying to their patients telling them that cessation of gender affirming care to trans youth was due to a change in federal regulations. This is a lie. No such change was made to regulations. This was Fenway complying in advance.
A letter from Jordina Shanks, CEO of Fenway Health, addressed to the Fenway Health community. It announces that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, Fenway Health will no longer provide medical gender-affirming care (hormones and puberty blockers) for patients under 19. The letter explains that this change follows a revised U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Grants Policy, which allows termination of grants that “no longer effectuate program goals or agency priorities.” Continuing the service would jeopardize Fenway’s status as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The message emphasizes that this decision was made with great difficulty and does not reflect a change in Fenway’s values or commitment to the transgender and gender-diverse community. It details how staff have worked to support affected patients and families and reaffirms Fenway’s ongoing advocacy and inclusive mission. Highlighted portions stress the HHS policy change, the risk to FQHC status, and Fenway’s continued belief in and support for gender-affirming care.

The Heritage Foundation is going after me this morning calling me a terrorist because I am accurately stating what they are intending to do. Michael Knowles at CPAC explicitly called for the "eradication of transgenderism."

I'll continue to speak the truth of what is being done to my community.
A tweet from Oversight Project (@ItsYourGov) shows a screenshot of an Advocate article. The tweet text says: “This is an example of an element of TIVE rhetoric coming from @Harvard Professor Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_in the @TheAdvocateMag. The notion that opposing Transgender Ideology is a form of violence (‘eradication’ here) leads people to justify violence.” The screenshot highlights a quote from Alejandra Caraballo criticizing a Heritage Foundation policy proposal: “They want us all eradicated.”

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.
Page 1: Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism. Page 2: Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations. Page 3: Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?” Page 4: Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

From today's protest at Stonewall. The first pride was a riot.

Credit: @bonnjny.bsky.social
A person in a winter coat, scarf, and knit gloves holds a cardboard protest sign that reads “TIME TO THROW SOME FUCKING BRICKS.” The sign is decorated with small heart-shaped designs featuring various pride flag colors. They wear sunglasses and a beanie, standing in front of a city street with scaffolding in the background.

This documentary about Eden hit so hard. While I fight know her, I previously won asylum for a trans client from Saudi Arabia with a similar story. It was one of the most nerve wracking cases I've ever worked on.

Rest in power, Eden.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

These sex workers have more bravery than any cop. Good for them.

Following the attempted murder of a trans woman. Cops just let the alleged perp go. So actionists from the Mexican sex workers union stormed the judicial building.

I could not sit silent while an elected official who spreads hate & lies that are getting trans people killed pretends to care about the future of the Internet. So I spoke up during Rep Nancy Mace's speech at the Project Liberty Summit & I would do it again www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2024-11...
