The cruel measures to rob people of their health care and their very ability to live as themselves are accompanied by growing fascist violence and harassment on the streets, fueled by far-right media and social media campaigns that threaten trans people and others who stand up for them.
“In the face of urgent issues such as poverty, housing, health care, education, police brutality, and hate crimes against the marginalized communities, the fact that the trans/non-binary communities and the war concerning gender identity are being singled out as ‘the number one problem’ by right-wing politicians demonstrates to us that we are being used to distract people from the most important issues at hand,” said Tsukuru Fors, co-founder of the Trans Radical Activist Network.
Devastating and infuriating. This is what stochastic terrorism does. If you can, join me in donating to @everytown - link in bio. #Repost @abbychavastein with @use.repost ・・・ We are angry. We are heartbroken. The saddest of all, we aren't shocked. Waking up to this horrible news: 23 people shot, 5 killed, at the queer @clubqcoloradosprings. "#ClubQ, described the shooting as a "hate attack." Every #TransDayOfRemembrance these words come to mind: "על אלה אני בוכיה. עיני עיני ירדה מים, כי רק ממני מנחם משיב נפשי." "On these I cry. My eyes, my eyes, flow with tears. It is far from me a comforter who can revive my spirit." Crying. 2 important quotes from the @abcnews article (swipe for screenshot, link in story): "Club Q hosts a weekly drag show and live DJ on Saturday nights, according to its website." Maybe it was a coincidence. Most possibly, all the fear mongering on #DragShows? This is a result of it. Stop! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️ Another: "We thank the quick reactions of heroic customers that subdued the gunman and ended this hate attack." We have said this so many times, it once again becomes evident. We keep us safe. Not an outside force. The only true safety is in community. Swipe for more thoughts - and check out @adameli's tweet (slide 3). ClubQ was going to host an all ages #DragQueen brunch this morning.

As a teenage girl, I was exposed to testosterone and its effects are still with me. I have deep regrets about allowing the adults around me to pressure me into pretending to be something I'm not.
Thankfully, after living with the wrong hormones for years I finally transitioned.
It has come to my attention that quite a lot of people don’t know the difference between sex and gender, which is why I am making this post. For more information you can check out this article https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/types-of-gender-identity#definition-of-gender-identity Sex: the physical differences between people who are male, female, or intersex. A person typically has their sex assigned at birth based on physiological characteristics, including their genitalia and chromosome composition. Gender: the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people. It is a broad spectrum. A person may identify at any point within this spectrum or outside of it entirely. People may identify with genders that are different from their natal sex or with none at all. These identities may include transgender, nonbinary, or gender-neutral. There are many other ways in which a person may define their own gender. I hope this clears up some confusion for people who were previously unaware. #gendervssex #genderidentity #feminism #feminist #fuckterfs #protecttranskids #protecttranslives #protecttransyouth #feminismquotes #feminismisforeverybody #feministart #feminismointerseccional #terfsafe #terf #terfsaretrash #terfpride #terfsaretrash #terfisaslur https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXQG64lIaK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This was a surprising hard thing to do. One of the trans youth stalls asked us to right cards to our younger selves. As a nearly out transwoman it was hard to think what to say but if it helps one person I was happy to add my scrawl 🙂 #transpride #protecttransyouth (at Trans Pride Brighton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWoxVjrE4Sl8tH4T2O8IAtv1cP0uYW14_TdBs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
We had ourselves a little protest march on Friday here at UF. It went well. Pictures and more. #ProtectTransYouth #TransRightsAreHumanRights
As you may have heard, the Florida government is attempting to meddle in trans health-care in a very disturbing way. First there are the bills aimed at making gender affirming care for minors not only illegal but tantamount to child abuse and grounds for removal of the child. Perhaps less well-known was the audit of the University’s student health center gender affirming care patients by the…
Some good news from yesterday’s midterms (very happy to have our first female Governor and the first lesbian Governor!) and a necessary reminder from @rabbidanyaruttenberg in the final slide. Thanks to Gen Z turnout, we were saved from a fascist red wave. We need to throw all our support behind the BIPOC & LGBTQ+ people in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and other places where gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement are allowing Republicans to get away with murder. Support @abortionfunds, @translawcenter, and if you have any other suggestions for good orgs to support drop them in the comments. #Repost @so.informed with @use.repost ・・・ Highlighting some positive outcomes from Election Day yesterday! 🌻🗳 #transrightsarehumanrights #texas #georgia #florida #transrights #election2022 #midtermelections #midterms2022 #democracy #savedemocracy #votingmatters #voting #votingrights #roevwade #roevswade #reproductiverights #protecttranskids #protecttransyouth #blacklivesmatter #blackvotesmatter #voteblue #fuckrepublicans https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckv7bo8Otss/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
