If you missed it yesterday, you do not want to miss it today. My most recent @Slate piece made an MSNBC anchor choke up on air about the experiences and fears of the mother of a stealth trans boy in Texas.

Plume is offering FREE HRT to those affected by the ban on trans care in Missouri. A judge will eventually repeal the ban but you can get an appointment before April 27th if you’re not already stocked up. https://t.co/E8iILaglEX

Whereas Republican-controlled states are looking to restrict the rights of transgender and gender-nonconforming people, in New Jersey the governor says everybody is welcome and free. https://t.co/4AOVOu6Udu

The Trans Refuge Bill has passed the Minnesota House. It's up for a Senate floor debate this Friday, and once it's passed, Gov Walz will sign it, in alignment with our state's history as a leader in providing health care for trans kids. https://t.co/s1k1zOAOhO #mnleg

Ewan Forbes was a Scottish nobleman who began his transition at age 15, around 1927. He was among the first transgender Europeans to have their gender accepted in court after his cousin sued to inherit his baronetcy. The court eventually ruled in Ewan's favor in 1968.

"I believe that people who don't identify as transsexual also have a right to hormones and surgery. There are many of us who have wanted to shape our bodies without changing our sex." - Leslie Feinberg, Transgender Warriors, 1996

“Everything we did allowed him to enter ninth grade completely socially transitioned, medically transitioned, as far as he wants.

“That’s allowed him to have a high school experience where being trans is not something that he’s preoccupied with. He’s just allowed to be a kid.”💓

"What is needed [...] is a constant reminder of what we’re fighting for—especially for those trans people that rely on social media to have any sense of community at all... It’s especially important that they be able to see what trans thriving looks like."

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

"If you are denying gender-affirming care and forcing a trans child to go through puberty, that is tantamount to torture, and this body should be ashamed.

If you vote yes on this bill, I hope the next time you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands."

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

In response to the MT Freedom Caucus' call for my censure, I stand by my description of the devastating consequences of banning essential medical care for trans youth.

As long as I am a member of the Montana Legislature, I will never stop fighting for trans people in our state.

As a former trans kid I can tell you waiting until I was 18 didn’t “untrans me.” It just brought me closer to my darkest depths before I got there.

BREAKING: New Biden administration guidance says that the categorical bans for trans youth in athletics passed by multiple states are a violation of Title IX protections, affirms that there is no place for discrimination in sports participation.

"Ladies and gentlemen and those in between" is not the gender inclusive phrase you may think it is.

[The Tweedy Mutant @the_tweedy]

I recently learned that it's harder for trans gay guys to qualify for PrEP coverage in BC than cis gay guys because the screening criteria presumes sex between men necessarily means "butt stuff", so the questionnaire is very bussy-forward.

[Fort Gayne Crime Erin 👽🌈🖤 @CriminalUnionFW]

IN & SC: We're banning trans people

OK & IO: Us too

SD & VA: So are we

Florida: U guys aren't gonna believe it but so are we
