Being one of five trans women at my job lets the customers know it’s a safe place to be themselves, and that’s so important, especially for kids ☺️

🧵When I first moved to New York, the off Broadway theatre I worked for had tried to produce a documentary play, using her own words, called My Name is Rachel Corrie. The play was put together by Katharine Viner and Alan Rickman. Due to overwhelming protests by Zionists—

It does matter. When a cis man plays a trans woman on stage or on film, the underlying association is that we are men. Audiences see this and make that association, whether they realize it or not. Please help me spread the word that this is not acceptable. Cast trans actors,

The transphobia comes up so regularly and it’s so specific, someone in that writers’ room had an axe to grind. It’s uncommonly transphobic.

Or don’t do the play. And certainly don’t silence allies who try to speak up for a community that has no voice in that department. As far as I know, the playwright hasn’t even been informed of this decision.

Of course all trans people are hot, but do you know WHY?
Because, as you know, confidence is attractive, and no matter how little confidence you think you may have, it actually takes a TON of it just to be trans in this world.
So, um, all trans people=insanely hot. 💖💖💖

When I came out, it was because I finally realized that 1) if I didn’t, I would die, and 2) that the world had changed enough that things had finally become better for trans people. And then, for no real reason, we became a strategy. Scare people enough to vote republican

So, last year, a play of mine cast a ten-year old trans girl, and I found out because her father just messaged me, telling me that his daughter is so happy that someone like her wrote the play she loved so much. And I’ll be riding this high for a long time, y’all. It’s a good day

Yet another example of 70 years ago being somehow less transphobic than today.
Tennessean Charlotte McLeod, 28, was the 2nd US trans woman to obtain gender-affirming surgery in Denmark after Christine Jorgensen. I love this 1954 photo with her father. You clearly see the love and support in his eyes. He adored his daughter and celebrated her for who she was

This is a call to violence against children, how is this not on the front page of every news site?
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.
He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.
