My heart breaks for every student and community across our nation. A fresh pain, an old wound. Yes, here. Yes, our community. Yes, Brown. Yes, this tragic, preventable horror happened again. We can prevent gun violence. We chose not to.

Yesterday, Brett Smiley signed a four-month-late executive order that does nothing to protect our neighbors from Trump’s immigration raids. 🧵

15 years ago I had gender affirming top surgery. 10 years before that I came out as a trans man. No one groomed me. Trans people were actually hidden from me during my childhood. Yet, I still knew. I still ended up finding a word for who I am and coming out when I was 20 years old. Cont in comments.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Fact Check: Trump's HHS Review On Trans Care Filled With Lies, Pseudoscience

The review, which was made possible by an executive order calling transgender healthcare "mutilation," reached its predetermined conclusion on its May 1st publication date.

it has never been more crucial for cis lesbians to be loud in support of our trans family. this is a chilling escalation of longtime tactics; attempts at a “feminist” case for transphobia ALWAYS include a disingenuous “nooooo won’t someone think of the poor lil lesbians 🥺🥺🥺” and it is such bullshit

A repurposed page from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets I bought at a local artist’s market. This is a stand against JK Rowling’s hate speech. We will not support you and your work anymore. Read the unpainted text. Rowling’s choices show who she really is. #transrights #jkrowling #harrypotter

Single page from the chapter titled “Dobby’s Reward” in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Most of the text is painted over in the trans flag colors (light blue, pink, and white). Black paint on top of the flag says “Choose Yourself” with the trans symbol under it. A section of text is not painted that says “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

I think it’s interesting that I’ve been out as trans for almost 25 years, yet this current administration is saying the left invented “gender ideology” in recent years. What about all the trans people that came before me? We have always been here and will always be here. #trans #transgender

I don’t understand why people, hospitals, businesses, etc. are preemptively following these executive orders. They are not the law. Nothing has changed the policies… yet. Don’t fall in line with this administration. Fight back for the rights and humanity of all. Don’t allow fear to direct you.
