“Indeed, “race suicide" was worse than a spin—it was a red herring. It was a way of refusing to accept the implications of democracy without clearly rejecting democracy.”

“The [birth rate changes] were in fact only a lag.
The societal changes that make large families no longer advantageous-the high cost of education, food, and rent, and the end of productive child labor—took time, often a whole generation, before they produced new family values.”

This administration has aggressively targeted trans people, seeking to force the nation back to an imaginary time where people like us didn’t exist—where gender is a prison to cage us, instead of a canvas to express our true selves.
But we have always been here.

We are in an extraordinary moment for the fight for trans lives and greater gender freedom for all.

As we remember those lost to violence, we also grieve their stolen futures. Their stories shine through the words of their loved ones, who remember their passions, their loves, their talents.
![As we remember those lost to violence, we also grieve their stolen futures. Their stories shine through the words of their loved ones, who remember their passions for music and art; their love of partners, friends, and pets; their talents for community organizing or fashion or ballroom or journalism or computer science. As trans people, living openly as ourselves often requires immense courage-and that courage inspires others to live more fully and authentically. As one relative of Kelsey Elem, a
25-year-old Black trans woman from Missouri who we lost this year, said, "watching [Kelsey] grow into her confidence and share it with the world was a blessing." When we lose trans people, everyone loses so much.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u7ojqz3wlcsdjrcz2dvlp56l/bafkreidd6n2czly6zh5tltiajlh4qxietscjt3br3rxp5r6zhlghe4cfum@jpeg)
