My mother-in-law was a beautiful person who spent her life helping others. She passed away this week and deserves to be remembered.

I have enjoyed John Lithgow’s work, but after watching his @variety.com video where he describes his career making part, Roberta Muldoon (a character who helped me understand that I was #trans) as “funny looking” and “a man who chose to be a woman,” I can no longer do so.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive.
Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.
Whoops.

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?
