It's a wonderful day to remind trans kids that the future will be just as wonderful as they are.
Your future isn't a political gamble. Your future is yours. Your life is yours. You are more than the political game you didn't ask to be in. I see and hear you. You've got this.
Also to give an update:
Had to quit my professor position due to my treatment resistant depression being treatment resistant.
I had emergency back surgery due to cauda equina syndrome in August of last year and became partially paralyzed.
Then developed seizures
So…been busy
Hey y’all, I logged in just to say
🥶FUCK ICE🥶
And fuck any institution that promotes the violence against our neighbors. Tennesseans belong Tennessee.

You might believe this isn’t possible, but the argument here is to “return this decision to the states.” Sound familiar? It’s the same rationale used for Roe v. Wade.
That decision was “returned to the states” and Roe stood for nearly 50 years. Marriage equality has only stood for a decade. Not only is this possible—It’s a very real and highly likely threat.
Being visibly disabled has brought to light to me how much people assume about disabled people especially capability and intelligence. Like tell me why a grown woman just baby talked to me. I have my masters and am a professor. Get it together please.
Trump’s executive order, "intended as an attack on transgender Americans and disingenuously disguised as “defending women,” erases the biological reality of intersex people like me." @xoxy_alicia https://t.co/zbXFwVqXl2
Tennessee, @GovBillLee has called a special session next week to spend hundreds of millions on a universal private school vouchers scheme.
It’s time to pay attention. Call, email, text, message your representatives. Stop them in the grocery store. Tell them what you think. 1/
“Yes the hour is dark, evil comes forth in the guise of good. It is a time of double talk when men in high places have a high blood pressure of deceptive rhetoric and an anemia of concrete performance.” 1/2
Back in 2018, I was sat down by my high school counselor and told a phrase I never forgot
"Kids like you don't go to Belmont, just settle for your(minimum wage) job"
She was right, kids like me don't go to Belmont, we graduate, get our Masters then go back and teach there.
@GovBillLee in Judaism there are 6+ genders and gender affirming care is widely seen as a mitzvah (good deed) to provide and honor. Trans people are blessings, Happy belated Hannakuah friends
As Hanukkah comes to a close, we’re reminded that light will always overcome the darkness.
We wish Jewish Tennesseans a Happy Hanukkah & continue to pray for Israel & her people.
