Hospitals across California are now rescinding or drastically restricting gender‑affirming medical care for transgender youth and young adults, even as similar treatments remain available to older adults and cisgender patients. This is illegal! #genderaffirmingcare #lettranskidslive

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Thrilled to be moving to Martinez California. Looks like there’s quite a few queers in town based on our walk around this morning. Can’t wait to meet our neighbors and get to know the area. East Bay here I come.

I haven’t paid the New York Times in five years, but this is decent reporting. The only feedback I have is that we now have adopted assigned gender at birth. Our biological sex has nothing to do with gender.

Along with codycookparrott.substack.com/and their paid subscribers, I am doing "object study"= I will be organizing my art supplies in my IRL office and my new home office. I will read the books I have and then sell them. I will not buy new classes and aim to complete all the ones I have by December

They won’t teach you this in school:

In the 1920s & 30s, queer performers ruled nightlife. They called it The Pansy Craze.

Before Stonewall. Before Pride parades. Before RuPaul told us to sashay away.

They Danced, They Dazzled, They Disappeared: The Lost Era of Queer Joy in America
This LGBTQ History Month, let’s remember when queerness ruled the stage... and why it was silenced. A forgotten drag revolution in 1930. A warning from history. A love letter to queer joy.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I am so glad and proud to live in a city/country where rainbow crosswalks are danced on, not removed. 🏳️‍🌈 🌈 💞
Last night, the rainbow crosswalks were removed from an intersection in the historically LGBTQ neighborhood of Montrose in Houston, Texas.

Protesters were arrested.

It’s the neighborhood in which I grew up and where I live.

This too is a form of violence.

Wow, peak whiteness for a WHITE billionaire to use a Hawaiian word to walk back his ill-informed idea that San Francisco should be next on the National Guard tyranny tour.

I love Bluesky because I can connect with other 2SLBGTQIA+ folks with ease. I have updated my bio. I offer many things, and I am pretty passionately political, as you can see from my feed:
Plus, I have many things coming up. Check them out!

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
