i think post-2020 america has gotten so much worse on trans stuff bc no one fucking goes out and meets ppl anymore. i really think it'd be a lot harder to buy into the anti-trans propaganda as a cis person if u just spent an evening talking to a trans bitch at a bar

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation.

We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills.

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

political leadership has largely checked out on these anti-trans orders. at this point we need our elected officials to say it out loud and print it in their press releases:

trans lives matter

call your reps, your senators, your city and county councilors. i am and i will continue to do so
does it bother you that so few artists are speaking out about the anti-trans policies?

tell them you want them to speak up. and spread the word that they should.
now is the time for the arts community to rise up in support of the many trans people who have held it together for time immemorial

musicians, songwriters, performers: where are your voices? let’s hear them! stand up for us!

Years ago, ACT UP protested at hospitals cutting off LGBTQ+ people from their care.

They didn't stand for it.

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers.

It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license."

Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that:

Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid.

Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance.

Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

This is the important part! If you submit your application for a gender marker change, you will not receive your passport or your supporting documents back.

All applications for gender marker change are on hold while the State Department changes this policy.

Anyone who now submits an application for a change runs the risk of losing access to their passport and documents while their application is being processed.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Yesterday, 37 Democratic Senators voted to pass the anti-trans NDAA.

Those same Dems refused to allow Senator Baldwin to advance an amendment to remove anti-trans provisions from the bill.
