My family is not safe. My son has been taken on the gov's orders, and I've had to send my husband and daughter out of state for their safety.
THIS is the reality of living in DeSantis' Florida.
There is no freedom here. Only retaliatory rule by a fascist who wishes to be king
Hey y'all. Things are getting bad for trans people in the UK - the UK is attempting to pass a "define sex" act like we've seen in a few very rough anti-trans states in the United States, such as Montana's SB458.
In the UK, this would have the added effect of adult bathroom bans.
Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out in support this week. We stand together for:
✅ Trans rights
✅ Reproductive justice
✅ Nebraskans facing poverty
✅ Protecting democracy + access to the ballot

Just saw this tonight. Makes me think of all the “leaders” here in KY that have been silent in the face of racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, and of course anti-trans hate.
To see some people look at all of the ways in which trans people are targeted and then blame mass shootings on us is sick.
Shootings aren’t new. Trans people aren’t to blame, nor are any other marginalized group.
They rather blame the people they hate than their own policies.
the detransition rate for trans people is so low the right literally flies Chloe to countless hearings to get these passed. The support for these bills is not natural it's manufactured
The house Judiciary committee is hearing a bill to ban tiktok, and it's already wild.
Someone just compared using tiktok to inviting Bundy and Hitler into your home.
These aren’t “straight facts,” @bennyjohnson. None of them were activists and the Colorado shooter only temporarily took on the identity to avoid hate crime charges. 3/2840+ mass shootings over the last 5 years means trans folks are LESS likely to be perpetrators than cis people.
About to testify in favor of SB188 in Colorado, a safe state bill that will protect trans Coloradans and people who flee to the state.
These laws represent safety and peace of mind to a community that has been very highly targeted in recent years.
It must pass.
See how the Right moved seamlessly from using the Nashville shooting to promote the idea that trans women are not women to using the Nashville shooting to villainize testosterone? This is how they portray all trans people as dangerously masculinized.
This week will be a "Week Of Hate" for trans people across the US.
22 hearings the next 3 days that could:
- Charge trans people with sex crimes for using the bathroom
- Ban gender transition for youth
- Ban insurance coverage for adults
- Target mental healthcare
I'll be here.
Nashville PD has confirmed the horrific school shooting today was committed by a trans person.
I want to make this abundantly clear, I absolutely condemn this violent act. One person committing an act of violence doesn’t represent an entire community,
