Laurel Powell @laurelpowell.net · 17/09/2026The most common thing I hear from parents of trans youth - and I hear it every single time I do any kind of public engagement - is that they're terrified that being out as trans will ruin their kid/teen's future career or family prospects.

If you think Sarah McBride's presence in Congress, or her running for leadership, is anything except a net positive for our community, you are not actually advocating for trans rights or liberation.

Reposted by Laurel PowellGillian Branstetter @gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 25/02/2026They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now. 187182126127
