MOMENTS AGO: This is the scene inside the Kentucky House Chamber right now as police are escorting protesters over Senate Bill 150, a bill critics say is harmful to transgender youth.
"You go after everybody's kids but your own," said Rep. Pamela Stevenson, who opposes the bill.
The media plays a vital role in public perception. Beautiful trans stories are worthy of sharing and shouldn't be centered merely in vile rhetoric or violence.
Ahead of #TDOV, the media should know how to report on trans lives positively. We can help.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what we were taught in elementary school back in the day was incorrect. Let’s unlearn together! There are more than two genders. Also, our (trans and nonbinary individuals) identities are NOT up for debate. #TheirResearch#QueeringtheGap
Banning gender-affirming care is extremely dangerous and is a clear attack on transgender and nonbinary individuals. When cisgender people take supplements, hormones, or undergo surgery to affirm their gender, it is considered highly acceptable in society. #GenderAffirmingCare
According to @AmerAcadPeds, adult trans individuals that received gender-affirming care as a child had a lower incidence of suicide ideation throughout their lifetime compared to trans adults that did not have gender-affirming care as a kid.
BREAKING: The House has voted YES to protect marriage equality by passing the #RespectForMarriageAct. The bill will now be sent to President Biden for his signature which upon approval will codify federal protections for same-sex couples and interracial marriages. 🎉
It’s Election Day! Today, Georgia voters can use their voices and votes to hold elected leaders accountable to a future where all of us can be more free. Go to https://t.co/Fc6FeKkLTZ to find your polling place.
Let’s stop assuming people are straight and cisgender. Even this assumption makes it less safe for #LGBTQIA+ individuals. And not everyone is monogamous, some people are somewhere under the ethically non-monogamous umbrella. Let’s make sure to be inclusive!
