I am a huge advocate for free speech but as long as its socially acceptable to make jokes about trans people, to make and share memes disparaging & demeaning trans folks, trans folks will continue to be murdered &denied civil rights.

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance
#TDOR
. We remember trans folks we have lost to violence this year. Their lives mattered, still matter. 2021 has become the deadliest year on record for trans people in the United States surpassing last year's record numbers.
BREAKING: Massachusetts just voted to maintain its anti-discrimination law protecting trans and nonbinary people.
No one should ever have to vote on their own existence, but this is a hard-won, important victory and we thank the people of MA for voting

Oh Trinity I thought the same thing & dating has been really hard for me but I am currently in a really loving healthy relationship. I did a lot of work on my self love to get myself ready to receive the love when it came. On God's time not mine I found love. Your are beautiful

speech, where she said: "I'm so sad I lost my sister Alexis and that trans people are still being persecuted... Let's get rid of this bias that we have everywhere"
We must not give up the fight. But in the face of this affront on my existence and the existence of my community I choose love not fear. We exist and always have.
Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence
In indigenous cultures all over the world gender existed beyond the binary and folks who we would call trans today held sacred places in those cultures. Western colonialism drove those trans folks to the margins but we have always been here. Marginalizing trans folks is another
Omg if I could advise this young man I would say that life is so much bigger than high school and if this young woman makes you as happy as it seems you must go towards that happiness. Love sets us free. Make her feel as special as she is & as you see her.

I love my Orange family so much! Thank you to the entire Orange team for all your brilliance that made this nomination possible. This is always a team effort and the Orange team is the best in the business!

Backlash is part of most social justice movements. Maligning and attacking the most marginalized is also not new and part of the backlash against movements for justice. Trans women are women. 47% of us experience sexual assault. We, too, should be believed when we declare

A lot is going on in the world but in South Dakota law makers passed a bill out of committee that would criminal doctors who provide care to trans youth. This is not a drill. This is really happening
This is where we are at. A bill that makes health care for trans youth a crime has passed out of committee and will be heard on the house floor. We need you to rise up now. We must stop this to save trans lives.

" I'm done debating whether trans is real. I'm real. I'm sitting here and I have lived experiences as a woman, as a woman of trans experience, as a black woman, and so I'm done with that and I know a lot of trans folks are done with that."
I just had a talk with my mom who will be voting in Alabama on Tues. As someone born and raised in Alabama I encourage everyone to exercise your right to vote on Tues. Please please please!
Example of the brutality of colonialism. This latest administration effort to legislate trans folks out of existence is yet another example of why the fight for gender equity must be intersectional and necessarily must include trans folks. Trans folks need everyone to stand with
