Human rights are not up for debate.

Topic of gender affirming care? Not a debate.

Trans people have a right to access healthcare. They have a right to gender affirming healthcare, and for trans kids that includes the right to be able to access puberty blockers.

So, I haven't felt particularly eloquent in a while & when a friend said they'd booked a table for a zinefest, would I want to do anything for it? I'm like, what the fuck would I do?

Oh.

No? Hmmm

Handcarved a stamp & I've just been leaning into the fucking rage
