1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

there are lessons from No Kings' scale that serve us all.
if this is the sum of your protest experience, what's next for you?
if you are someone plugged into movement and direct action outside electoral politics, can this be an opportunity for you to radicalize someone and bring new resources in?

Proposing marriage to someone in front of a crowd is coercion and a “yes” is not freely given consent.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.
