President Trump's anti-trans passport policy is about the government trying to police who we are and how we live. Having accurate identification is essential for trans people to live and travel without fear of harassment or discrimination.

And it defeats the basic purpose of the document.

1. Good news: Multiple hospitals are resuming trans care under 19 years old after Trump's trans ban was blocked temporarily in court. Writer Mira Lazine reports on hospitals in Arizona, Michigan, and Virginia restarting care. Not all hospitals have, though. Subscribe to support our journalism.

If your feminism doesn’t include fighting for trans women, disabled women, and women of color, it’s not feminism—it’s just white supremacy in a pink hat.

This is a public service announcement: y'all, no matter how cute it seems, don't go on a first date on Valentine's Day. If the relationship goes south, now you'll just associate that day with trauma forever. Ask me how I know! 😅

Got accused today of making being Latino my entire personality. Sorry bud, that's only 1/3 of my personality, the rest is being trans and being gay 😝

Removing people from their lands "for their own good," "for their safety," "to a nicer, new place." That's exactly what some people in Oregon were saying in the 1850s when they sent my ancestors to reservations. That's also what the president said today. Please notice if you haven't already.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.

As someone working on a master’s degree in art therapy and currently working in inpatient care, these are the questions I am asking the therapists, psychiatrists, and other healthcare workers in my life:

I wrote this poem after the Club Q shooting. (CWs for discussion of mass violence) Over the past few weeks, every time I hear of all the legislative efforts to end my trans existence, I just remember the refrain. "If I die [...] let me die in a gay bar." mxorijay.substack.com/p/my-queer-l...

I wrote this poem more than two years ago, but it still remains as relevant as ever. Stay safe, queer fam. I love you. 💖

There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it. Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

So I’ve had my 1st Black History Month event cancellation because of “DEI concerns,” citing a fear of frivolous suits. Funny thing is, I don’t do DEI, I’m a historian of the Black American experience. A reminder that DEI is just a dog whistle about suppressing history, if you need a reminder.

Hi everyone, I keep meaning to actually post on here. I'm Ori, I'm a trans masc Indigenous Latino. I'm an artist and writer, but life has been a lot lately so I kind of got out of the habit of posting the stuff I make online. I'd like to get back into it, so watch this space!
