I am begging you now more than ever that while you’re advocating for trans rights (as you should) please don’t forget about intersex people. We’re impacted the exact same by the same legislation, we are losing our rights and healthcare, the only difference is no one will even acknowledge we exist
‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

I have a fondness for history, so I have done my own research. As a reminder, transgender is a modern term, so I don't believe in stating it explicitly. However, she did go by Eleanor, wore dresses, and worked in women's professions
Eleanor Rykener did it in late medieval England, and was put on trial when the authorities discovered she was trans. Her statement was on display at the British Library Medieval Women exhibition. We know about her thanks to this record, but the proceedings weren't exactly pleasant for her.

I just need you to understand the degree to which every columnist and pundit claiming they just wanted to "follow the science" or have more research on trans kids is just remarkably full of shit
