Happy #PrideMonth!! To celebrate, we’re officially launching the Gender Card! In partnership with @seattlechildren we developed this card to help trans and gender diverse folks communicate their healthcare needs. New available in the Q Card Store! https://t.co/py1iqr1vg5
You can't understand 1776 if you don't understand 1619. July 4, 1776 when the colonists declared independence, 1/5 of the population of the 13 colonies was enslaved. They would not gain freedom for a century. This, too, is the 4th of July. This, too, is the story of America.
@HRC, you’ve sent me mail for TWENTY years. You always find my address (I’ve moved ten times), but you have NEVER ONCE asked my prefix. Every time you send me address labels with “Ms.” on them, they go right into recycling. Why not drop the Mr/Ms/Mrs all together?
@DoctorJesseMD@AmerMedicalAssn What are your plans for leveraging AMA’s massive wealth and lobbying power to address trans healthcare bans and abortion bans?
@redorama @FemmeFaeTali Oof. This def feels icky. At the end of the day you’re still announcing your baby’s genitals to the world… Like. “It’s a boy but don’t worry it’s a boy because a doctor saw a penis and decided it’s a boy.”
It really pisses me off when grad programs & fellowships want diversity statements from my students, asking how their minoritized status will “contribute” to the program. UH, better question, what are you going to do for my students?
Need cis people to realize the guy questioning the scientific judgement of children's hospitals for working with trans kids and the guy who spent last week arguing mermaids are scientifically white are the same guy
Agents from Texas' child welfare agency told a federal court Gov. Greg Abbott's order to investigate trans kids has brought the agency to "the brink of collapse" after 2,000 agents resigned in the past year alone rather than "break up loving families." https://t.co/09ORvtb33m
In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds
and in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent

it is that time of the year again – teachers are planning ice breakers, introductory activities, and making first-day slide decks. here are some reminders from your favorite non-binary teacher-scholar-friend.
@HRC has been sending me mail for almost 20 years. Across 3 states and 10+ addresses, always kept up to date on my whereabouts.
Not once in all those years have they asked if I’ve changed my name or salutation.
There’s a painful irony here. (Please stop addressing me as Ms.)
@DallasDucar Can we get some thoughtful exploration of the best methods for collecting and coding data on gender identity? I’m so sick of studies with a big ol “other” category.
