Your tl;dr guide to respecting pronouns:
✨ Never assume anyone's pronouns
✨ Not using correct pronouns is dehumanizing
✨ The singular "they" is grammatically correct. Period.
✨ Committing to using correct pronouns — even when it's difficult — is a must

For those doing the math at home, that's 96% of House Republicans who voted against protecting access to contraceptives.
We're ready to fight this fascist mindset. Who's with us?
NEW: The House passed the Right to Contraception Act on Thursday despite 195 Republicans who voted against it. The bill would codify the right to birth control and other contraceptives.

In America, the life expectancy for a transgender woman of color is 35, which is 43 years shorter than that of a cisgender counterpart. This is due to the inequities in both the healthcare and justice systems, as well as the violence and discrimination against trans and BIPOC.
