We refuse to behave like some NGOs that promise help they know they won't be delivering.
When our backlog reaches about 90 days, as it is now, we stop intake.

As a trans woman, I often find myself struggling to properly articulate the real purpose of modern Pig Empire fascism's eliminationist campaign against trans people and anyone else who doesn't fit into the heteronormative binary on which their fragile, but wholly malevolent and dominance based conception of masculinity rests.
On one hand it would be a gross misrepresentation to say that fascists, the political actors driving their movements, and the rich people paying for modern nazism don't really hate trans people and wish to eradicate the public existence of trans identities, because they absolutely do. On the other hand however it would also be a grave mistake to forget that these people foundationally "use the whole cow" and their pogrom against the existence of trans people is also intentionally acting as a type of skeleton key to justify and facilitate a larger eliminationist agenda that revolves around purging their political enemies, removing civil rights and buttressing support for important ideological planks in the fascist platform - like violent nationalism, colonial extraction, white supremacy, eugenicist ableism, patriarchal dominance and so forth.
Indeed, while the fascists certainly do hate trans people and any sort of gender nonconformity, their decision to make anti-trans hate the tip of the fascist spear in a war for control pretty much comes down to the fact that trans people aren't particular numerous, visible, or empowered in our society, which itself has been mainlining normalized transphobic ideology for decades. It's much easier to convince people to hate folks they don't know in everyday life, and the pre-existing marginalization of trans people ensures that these pogroms can be abstract and ideological in a way that greases the path for violent eliminationism more effectively. We are, to put it succinctly, an easy gateway target for fascist repression that in turn can be used to expand the sphere of fascist influence and allow for the elimination of much larger portions of the population down the line by repurposing the justifications for repressions of trans people in a very "first they came for" sort of way.
While all of this is difficult to explain to folks not directly in the fascist crosshairs at any given moment, it's not all that hard to see this principle in action when empowered fascists are able to exercise control over our laws and state structures. Which is why I was utterly unsurprised to learn that American fascists in governments all over the United States are now using their actualized anti-trans pogrom to push a eugenicist agenda designed to target the rights, protections, and threadbare support programs for disabled Americans pretty much anywhere they control the government.
Suit Over Gender Dysphoria Could Dismantle New Disability Rules
"But gender dysphoria is just part of the 130-page federal rule. It also protects disabled parents’ rights in child welfare cases and prevents hospitals from using disability as a factor in determining who gets care in crisis situations, such as equipment shortages during a pandemic. It adds Long Covid to the list of conditions that may constitute a disability and strengthens protections against unnecessary institutionalization, requiring that care be offered in the least restrictive setting and, ideally, in a patient’s community.
Striking down the entire rule would have wide-reaching implications for all disabled Americans and other marginalized groups who rely on federal agencies’ interpretations of decades-old laws to enforce their rights, says Mia Ives-Rublee, senior director of the Center for American Progress’ Disability Justice Initiative. “They’re utilizing LGBTQ issues as a wedge,” Ives-Rublee says. “The attack is really about the regulatory process of the federal government, and this will impact almost every interaction that a disabled person has with the services and supports that they receive.”
As I've written many times in the past, fascism isn't ultimately a violent chud rush similar to what we say during the January 6th 2021 coup (or autogolpe if you prefer) attempt by Trump supporters, so much as a legalist doctrine enforced by empowered nazis and the state at their disposal; a sort of violent game of "Simon Says" with prison camps and pogroms. The use of politically activated anti-trans sentiment to eliminate protections for disabled people isn't a bug in the fascist program but rather an intended feature; and it certainly won't be the last legalist application of fascist ideology if this movement continues to accumulate power in our society. Cis people should of course oppose the fascist anti-trans pogrom in action because it's the right thing to do, but also because you can bet your bottom dollar that it won't, and isn't stopping after they drive trans people out of public life - you and yours may well be next.

OPPOSE
"""
HB 1038: Prohibiting puberty blocking medications, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries for minors.

Whether you're trans or not, please oppose this bill and leave a comment 🥺
Because gender-affirming care saves lives and *everyone* should be able to make their own choices about their bodies.

Geraldine Roman is a politician in the Philippines. On trans rights she says:
"Recognizing our rights and dignity will in no way diminish yours. We are not asking for special privileges or extra rights. We simply ask for equality. With inclusiveness and diversity, our nation has so much to gain."

Updating my #introduction to celebrate changed balance of life things. I live and walk by the sea in Wollongong, and I’m a gardener. In 2025 I joined up with a small organisation focused on compassionate ways of working in healthcare. I’ve been on here since 2016 and I’m still here, listening and thinking.
I believe we have to work together differently to face the future we’re facing. Life is fragile.

Today is my second HRTversary. Two years of Hormone Replacement Therapy. 🎉🥳💃🥰
While I'm very grateful for it, I can't say I'm delighted with the results. Yet. 😉
I'm also very aware that access to HRT is in jeopardy for myself, many others and probably unobtainable now for some. This crime is far more alarming than me thinking my breasts are too small. 😠
But we will all continue our #transition. Going back in not an option. And fuck anyone who tries to erase us! 🏳️⚧️✊
Does this person named Sarah McBride look like someone you would introduce as “Mister McBride”?
That is what Republicans are now doing on the US House floor to demonstrate their contempt for humans who are transgender.
A big compliment to Sarah for not taking the bait, and instead just delivering the punches she came to deliver.

In April of 2023, Rep Zooey Zephyr stood up to the Montana legislature censuring her for supporting trans rights. I channeled my anger into creating "Let Her Speak." Trans rights are human rights!
