Just know that “conversion therapy” is three incoherent pseudoscientific ramblings standing on each other’s shoulders under a trench coat. It’s not therapeutic (it doesn’t help, does net harm), it doesn’t convert (practically no “success” documented), and it should absolutely be banned.

A little extra midweek affirmation for transfeminine souls...

Feminine energy is not an imitation, it is resonance.

It hums in me because it belongs here.

No one can shout over that inner harmony.

You will not shade me out of my light.

With these words in my mind, I can now rest.

True, but unlike past powers, the U.S. is not unified in purpose. The superpower may be at the controls, but the hands on the wheel are fighting each other.

This is not over until it is over!

A heavy heart makes for difficult sleep.

History is being made at this very moment and we need to each decide what values we will live for.

Choose wisely.

Transgender people hear daily that their identity is “mental illness” or “demonic.” So if we seem down, please do not compare us to Eeyore. It is not going to land the way you think it will.

Try to just level with us as real humans.

Kindness goes a long way. 🩵💗

The benefits of exploring all forms of hormone therapy cannot be understated. Imagine being left out of the future of medicine because, "The transgender kids make me feel weird". 🙄

Protections for transgender people in no way threatens religious freedom. It threatens religious bigotry.
