Trans 🏳️‍⚧️ rights are human rights! 👍😊♥️

Javen Swanson 🏳️‍🌈 @javenswanson.com · Mar 31

On #TransgenderDayOfVisibility, I want to express mad respect for trans folks who live their truth in a world that often tries to erase it. May we all learn to be so bold, courageous, and fierce as those who dare to be exactly who they were created to be.

Javen Swanson 🏳️‍🌈 @javenswanson.com · Mar 20

“I firmly believe that… trans and nonbinary people are actually the least confused people in this society. You do not stand boldly authentic, unapologetically asserting your truth in a society that aims to erase and condemn you without knowing exactly who you are.” —Athena Jeanne Zeiter

📣 Across race and place, no Minnesotan should have to leave the community they love because they can’t afford housing. Contact your legislators and encourage the #mnleg to say #YesToHomes: bit.ly/4ieO6Oc

Insurance companies are paying this in MOST other states AND are making plenty of $$$. #FundOurFutures instead! #mnleg

Meg @meghandaly.bsky.social · Mar 7

Just hearing about this re-insurance bill at the #mnleg. Ugh. Are we really going to write a blank check to health insurance companies when we need to #FundChildcare in Minnesota? We've gotta do better!
