Today, marches will happen worldwide for #TransDayOfVisibility.
We demand liberation. No more outlawing our medical care, our dignity. No more targeting children.
To those marching: Thank you. We will bend the arc of history towards justice ourselves.
Texas heard SB888 yesterday, an anti-trans bill targeting doctors caring for trans youth.
After one person spoke, the chair then read off the names of 3 people to speak next...
And just...
Watch...
God I love Gen Z💀

This is horrifying. Criminal bathroom bans are back, and of course it's Florida.
Florida has just released SB1674. This would charge any transgender person using the bathroom of their gender identity with a crime.
This is the second criminal bathroom ban this year.

Gender affirming care saves lives!
A new study in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery shows AMAZING satisfaction rates.
Of all people who received gender affirming surgery (1,989 sample size), only 6 patients - 0.3% - regretted it and wanted to detransition.
