I need cis women to understand that these trans bills WILL come for us. The language is gross overreach and government intervention of medical care. We’re not protected. This fight is all of ours. I don’t know what it will take for us to understand we’re all in this together.

Do you know why National Girls and Women in Sports Day exists? Because without it, we would go unrecognized, uncelebrated and unseen. Days, movements, campaigns are needed for groups who aren’t centered and every time it gets turned around and used to exclude others. ⁣
