"White cis gay men who align with the far right don’t care what happens to trans people, queer people of color, or anyone outside their social circle.
They’ve already bought their seat at the table, through marriage rights, corporate approval, or simply the benefit of whiteness.
So when they say, “we’re going too far,” what they mean is, we’ve gotten everything we wanted.
You’re making things inconvenient."

Hey #trans family.
My mom came to me today to ask how to support her best friends adult child (mid 20’s) who is planning to come out as trans to their family.
They grew up, like me, in a deeply religious family in Georgia.
Could you help me with resources I could share with my mom and her friend? I’ve sent over a couple that I feel are safe and affirming but the more, the better, to help. They’re quite ignorant, blinded by religious ideology, but open to understanding.
Much appreciated!

The Supreme Court rules against health care access for trans youth. Don’t count on other sex-based rulings to stand either.

"It’s always the ones pointing the fingers, the ones screaming the loudest about 'protecting the children.' That’s why we call them gaslighters. They demonize drag queens and the LGBTQIA+ community. Meanwhile, they’re the ones doing the most harm behind closed doors."
