It’s #SexEdForAll month?!?!

I’ve realized that many people don’t know my deal. Here’s my deal:

I grew up in suburban Oklahoma and attended a public school. In 7th grade I got “HIV education” which involved showing us pictures of STI rashes and...that’s about it.

The superintendent mentions they have had extra counseling staff on site for students and staff. But we know, since State Supt Walters and the State Board of Ed passed administrative rules requiring forced outing, counselors at OK schools are unsafe for many 2SLGBTQ+ students.

The federal government is sending funding for family planning services in Oklahoma to an out-of state group after the State Department of Health refused to provide patients with information about abortion. | via @arriifife

AH! Exciting! A joint FDA advisory committee voted unanimously to recommend a birth control pill to be offered over the counter!

Congrats to all the folks who’ve worked so hard to mobilize and advocate! @AdvocatesTweets @freethepill @IbisRH and many more!

📣 Community Aid Call 📣

We received an official word that the trans folks facing charges after enduring #okleg attacks at The People's House in OKC last week need more funds. The expenses are already adding up.

Are you able to chip in $5 today?

[OK House Democrats CC @okhdcc]

We stand united with @RepMaureeTurner against @OKHouseGOP silencing and censuring them. Watch Rep. Turner's response.

[Tamya Cox-Toure, JD @TamyaCox]

Make no mistake, Rep. Turner being Black played a role in the actions that were taken today. The Oklahoma Legislature is not a safe place. Never has been; never will be. We take care of us. #istandwithMauree

[Mauree Turner | They / Them @MaureeTurnerOK]

When I walk into the chamber and there's a gaggle of troopers talking about me, I think about how Republicans have use every resource in their *power to make this place unsafe to Trans Oklahomans.
To Us. To Me.

[Freedom Oklahoma @FreedomOkla]

Today, the OK House of Representatives voted to censure Rep Mauree Turner and remove them from their Committee Assignments.

We don’t have words to convey our anger at what those in power in the Oklahoma House did today to Representative Turner and our entire 2STGNC+ community.

Y'all were so beautiful today.

Good thread on new federal proposals on how to measure race and ethnicity. Lots to be said about balancing consistency over time versus accuracy of measurement.

[AbortionFinder @Abortion_Finder]

FAKE clinics known as CPCs are typically run by anti-abortion orgs & often have no certified medical staff and no intention of providing either abortion care or birth control. 👎

That's why they're NEVER allowed on our database! https://t.co/vxAdfMYGAL

Check out @405Mag's story about the recent history of OKC becoming more friendly for ppl outside of cars! We still have a lot of work to make all corners of OKC safe for ppl on foot/on bike/using mobility devices - and this article highlights the "why"! https://t.co/zideaz97aB
