Trans people are fleeing states across the country to due an escalation of anti-trans laws and discrimination policies. They are leaving because living authentically as themselves puts their safety and dignity is at risk in these states. bit.ly/4focQVX @davisjessa.bsky.social @thestranger.com

1/13 What do you mean "family and relationship structure?" Aren't you just polyamorous? Well yes, but actually no! While many of us practice some form of nonmonogamy, and we work with groups like OPEN that are kickass advocacy groups for polyamory and ethical nonmonogamy, we cast a wider net.

Text at the top reads "On who this is for:" flanked by a wheelchair emoji and a nested hearts emoji, with an emoji showing a child with 5 adults and a hand pointing at the reader are in the bottom corners.

Black text on pink boxes below reads:“One thing I’m excited for is . . . expanding rights for people who don't want to get married or can't get married such as people who are on disability benefits and finding ways to expand dignity and the ability to live people's lives as they choose or as they see fit or as they have to” and "only 18% of American households actually approximate the nuclear traditional family"

SCFRE on KUOW two days in a row?? We're loving all this love! Thanks so much to Patricia Murphy for having us on this time - we loved hearing more of your talk with Anna Griffin from the New York Times, too! Listen to the interview: www.npr.org/podcasts/807... Sign our petition: tr.ee/uMgtPfxK3W

Black text on pink boxes reads "on relationship anarchy" and “relationship anarchy is about living your life in relationship with people in a way that doesn't follow a specific script. Various spectrums that say like what does this relationship look like and how do I show up for this person and what
does this look like.” -Jessa Davis

A hand shaking emoji sits at the top of the screen and rainbow, black, brown, and white hearts sit at the bottom.

Image description:

Black text on pink boxes reads "on who will be protected" and “It is not just about polyamorous households, it is also about intergenerational households. It is about friends who have chosen to build lives together who are not necessarily romantically involved, but choose to form a chosen family. It is about siblings. It is about children. It is about caring for grandparents. It is about a single mom with her kid. It is about establishing protections for a much broader range of family structures.” -Anna Griffin

A emojis of an elderly woman, a baby, a family with one child and five adults, and a finger pointing at the reader appear at the four corners.

Image description:

Black text on pink boxes reads "on living" and “[S]ome of this is about how expensive it is to live and how much of that has changed the ideal of what a household and a relationship and what a familial relationship looks like.” -Patricia Murphy and “When people allow their personal prejudices and their idea of what a family should look like deny people access to the material conditions they need to live that's ultimately what this is about.” -Jessa Davis

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

In Defense of Effeminate Boys
If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded.

By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.
