Geraldine @MaketheRoadNY: today we have the photos of six trans immigrant sisters in front of us, but we know we have lost hundreds more in our community.

We honor them all. #TransLatinxMarch

Great stories of queer trans solidarity

[Pedro Julio Serrano @PedroJulio]

Miembros de la comunidad trans repartieron, hoy, compras, equipos de protección personal y comidas calientes a personas sin hogar.

Cabe destacar que la gente trans está en estado de alerta ante la epidemia de violencia transfóbica —y sacaron de su tiempo para ayudar. 🏳️‍🌈❤️🇵🇷

[New Reformers @NewReformersNY]

After supporting Brooklyn reformers’ advocacy to allow Non-Binary, Genderfluid, Genderqueer, & Transgender candidates on County Committee, we echo those calls for Queens. 🏳️‍🌈

However, the LGBTQIA+ community is severely underrepresented in the Queens Democratic Party.

Hate must end. NOW. There is no place for hatred in our society.

This is my first op-ed for @americanoreport Read it here:

This is so problematic & disturbing in many ways. We demand @DRichards13 severe any ties with this person. Transphobic & homophobia are deadly & Queens -with one of the largest trans populations in the country- doesn’t have the luxury of having someone spewing hate & ignorance.

@Samynemir @bkdems @BOENYC @brooklynpaper @newkingsdems @NydiaVelazquez @LIDbrooklyn @AMBichotte Diversity is not only about race, but also gender. Gender issues are not only about women or men. Gender is a wide range spectrum beyond the binary male / female. We also know a lot of TGNC voices identify as people of color & excluding them of politics is blatant discrimination.

[Queer-Amisú @QueerAmisu]

We strongly stand in solidarity and support to the non-binary, gender non-conforming & trans candidates for County Committee who were discriminatorily disqualified of the ballot because they ran as their true gender, refusing to wrongly run as male or female CC member.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Over 350 County Committee candidates & members have signed onto the statement in support of the 6 TGNCNB County Committee candidates that were disqualified from the ballot. #IncludeAllGenders

It's time for a gender-inclusive Democratic Party in Brooklyn: https://t.co/D9d7J11SPK

[Queer-Amisú @QueerAmisu]

@Samynemir @bkdems @BOENYC @brooklynpaper @newkingsdems @NydiaVelazquez @LIDbrooklyn We call on @bkdems & chair @AMBichotte to remove this discriminatory gender binary, outdated rule to allow all of those who do not fit into the gender binary male/ female to participate in democracy and to ensure inclusion & diversity in local politics.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Thank you to the organizations who've signed onto this statement in support of TGNCNB candidates, including: @QueerAmisu, @binaryfree, @MaketheRoadAct, @thebroadroom, @504Dems, @WoC4Progress, & more!

Full statement & sign-ons: https://t.co/k9MEsjesWN

[Queer-Amisú @QueerAmisu]

.@Queeramisu stands with these brave non-binary, TGNC individuals and fully support their legal action against this discriminatory rule that excludes a wide range of ppl of different genders & unjustly deprived them of political participation. We call @kingsdems to change rule

[Queer-Amisú @QueerAmisu]

Excluding someone of the political process because they do not identify as female / male is not only outdated, but should be unlawful. It is disheartening & offensive these non-binary, GNC candidates were disqualified because they did not run through the gender binary. 1/2

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Today, 6 TGNCNB County Committee Candidates were disqualified from the ballot for not designating male or female on their petitions.

We stand in support of these candidates along with a coalition of elected officials and candidates: https://t.co/k9MEsjesWN

[Julio Pe��a III | 胡立歐 @JulioPenaNY]

Gender is not binary. If we are to build an inclusive Democratic Party, then party rules need to change to allow inclusive practices. I am in solidarity with my fellow members and support their reinstatement. We need to do better.
