Five years ago I sat down and did an interview with David Ono the anchor of ABC 7 News in Los Angeles. I spoke of my life and my transition. If you want a sense of what it’s like to be trans and transition.

This is how legislators who respect human rights are greeted. The ones who choose to use the power of government to intrude into personal, family and medical lives of others have to slink out the back door.

In 2021 there were 105 new HIV infections diagnosed in Nebraska. At a cost of $5,000 a month for treatment that’s over $500,000 a month in increased medical costs. Needle exchanges drop the rate of new infections and help people get off of IV drug use. It’s cost effective.

This is what will happen to countless women, some of whom won’t survive, thanks to the reversal of Roe. These restrictions do nothing to protect the health of women. Reproductive healthcare is not the job of government. This is government overreach.

“This is in no way, shape or form saying you cannot be transgender.” That is next. Her partner in this legislation, The Family Research Council, has made it clear that they are committed to eliminating the rights of trans people to exist in society. It’s already happening.

The “author” of the bill, Sen Kathleen Kauth, cites claims that were specifically found to be not true after a trial in front of a federal judge. Among his findings of fact: the treatment is not experimental and that ADF recruited experts were not qualified to offer testimony.

It was great hearing @TonyVargas speak about his vision for how to represent Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. We need him in Washington. I can’t wait to vote for him. It was also great getting a chance to talk with so many people tonight. Change is coming.

Last April I was set to help pitch a legal drama to a studio. Then the WGA strike hit - meeting canceled. It looks like we are getting another shot to pitch it. We have an amazing trans writer, an amazing story and a production company with a development deal with the studio. 🤞🏽

This is what people are not getting. Trans people are the canary in the coal mine. They are using us to establish the right to deny healthcare and they will not stop with us. They have clearly laid out what they intend to do and they are going full speed to do it.

“It may be that the day will come when people say the birth-control pill was a mistake.” Their attacks on trans youth are setting up favourable precedents that they can use against everyone else. Abandoning trans folks is shooting yourself in the foot.

@StopTweetingMia I didn’t listen to any of that nonsense and began transitioning at 53. I had minimal FFS at 54 and have been on HRT for 8 years now. I may not be a cute youngster but I look pretty good for being 61. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s too late.

For my Nebraska friends @senatormachaela is showing incredible support for the trans youth. Help her out by making your support known to your state senator. Don’t bring hate to the state.

I want to thank everyone for taking time to take notice of what is going on in Neb. I hope our Trans youth here in Nebraska and across the country take heart in knowing that there are grownups in the room (more than just me) fighting for you!

This is very much my experience. My being trans isn’t an issue for people 99.99% of the time. Really it’s random internet people and my state Senator who want to make it an issue. I’ve not had anything but positive experiences with the people of Nebraska since my return.

A morning thread 🧵 “Cis people think about me being trans way more than I think about me being trans.” If there is something I take away from 2023, it’s this thought.

Our loud presence the other day rattled them. We need EVERYONE to show up tomorrow. Take off work if you can. Get a babysitter. Find a ride. The debate could start earlier, so come when you can. Be loud, proud, and peaceful.. .tell the Nebraska Leislators #NoToLB574 . #neleg

Starting out on my almost 1,600 mile return trip to Omaha. I had a bit of a late start today because I had 6 cases in court this morning. I’m looking forward to seeing the all the different sights along the way.

@AriDrennen As I stated to the USSCt in an Amicus brief. “Being able to look in the mirror and being happy with the reflection I see has been magical. I no longer dislike the person looking back at me and that has made life worth living.”

She knew in March that she wouldn’t get her Sports and Spaces Act out of committee. She told Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council on his show that she would be back with more in the 60 day session. In the last 6 years only 5 trans kids have applied to participate in sports

As she should.. she’s crying about getting some d*ck shaped confetti sent to her. She thinks we’ll all be fine “The summer cools everybody down”. We will not forget what you have done and what your intentions are for the next session. This woman is a straight up psychopath.

Happy Pride 2024 This was a special night for me back in 2018 just 3 years into my transition. I was invited to a birthday celebration prior to an event we all were attending. These amazing women fully welcomed me into their circle. It was the first time I truly felt accepted.

@ErinInTheMorn I am going to Nebraska on Monday. I am going for 5 days to lobby against this and the other anti-trans bills proposed. I worked as a legislative aide there in the 80’s and am a graduate of UNL and the law school there. OutNebraska is coordinating opposition.
