🧵 This #TransDayOfVisibility, we want to uplift resources for those looking to debunk anti-trans myths as well as links for those looking to use their money to directly support trans people. #TDoV 1/8

Bodily autonomy includes EVERY body, and gender-affirming healthcare for #LGBTQ youth is #lifesaving.
Young people who are safe in their bodies and validated in their identities live safer, longer, healthier lives. #LGBTQ liberation is #ReproJustice. #Support4LGBTQyouth
AFAP stands with transgender youth and their families in TX, FL, MS, ID, and everywhere else where their right to exist is being brutally threatened by state governments and legislation. We have been and will always be pro-choice, pro-science, and pro-LGBTQ+ #ProtectTransYouth

Abortion and Black Liberation are intrinsically linked.
AFAP supports a full spectrum of reproductive healthcare & rights & seeks to uplift reproductive justice. #SB8 not only bans most abortions in TX, it encourages vigilantism & disproportionately affects already marginalized people.

In case you need more evidence of systemic racism:

As an organization devoted to empowerment around reproductive health, body literacy, and fertility awareness, AFAP stands with @SisterSong_WOC in opposing reproductive coercion and the racist, xenophobic systems that facilitate and perpetuate it.

The SCOTUS decision in Little Sisters v. Penn is deeply disappointing. Contraception should be a RIGHT not a privilege and access to healthcare should never depend upon the beliefs of one's employer. #SCOTUS
