Thank you @mainetransnet.bsky.social for getting this off the ground so quickly! We had an impressive turnout for the first meeting, given such short notice. Such a great group of people. If you're reading this, and you say your trans, you're trans enough to join this support group!
Exciting last-minute announcement: we are adding a second meeting of the trans and non-binary support group for folks 35 and over in Portland, starting tomorrow! This group will now meet on the first AND third Sundays of each month. Hope to see you there!

Maine gets a lot of flak for Susan Collins but deserves kudos for Gov. Janet Mills taking a stand for trans rights.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

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.
