This is very welcome news and will provide much needed relief to our youth and their families in the Tri-State Area. One of the likely contractors, Callen-Lorde, is where I got my first hormones in 2009 (yes I'm an old tran.) Families will be very well served by them.

NYC moves to spend nearly $9M of gender-affirming care fund for minors

The funding is part of a $15 million investment announced in June as major hospitals retreated from providing such care.

This essay fucking slaps. I'm so goddamn sick of being told we need to accept Republican lies about us to get any sort of rights. They reject moderation by rejecting our existence, and we should do it right back at them.

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

Part 1 of an open letter of resignation by Arienne Childrey, stepping down as Vice Chair and member of the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) Pride Caucus. She states that party leadership treats the caucus as a recruitment and sales team rather than a representative body. She cites an incident where the ODP censored and denied permission for the caucus to post a letter by two trans leaders addressing harmful comments made by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. The State Party Chair reportedly called the letter an "unwelcome distraction," which Childrey notes demonstrates how little party leadership values the voices and dignity of LGBTQ+ Democrats.

Since that decision, every Caucus plan, every potential post, and every path forward has been filtered through a lens of strict compliance and ODP approval. That may very well be the party's rule, but following those rules right now is a dereliction of our duty to the LGBTQ+ community.

For me, any rule that silences advocacy for the trans community during this time is an unjust rule, and I see no obligation to follow it. In alignment with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Letter from Birmingham Jail:

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

We are living in incredibly dangerous times for the trans community. We are in an era where the GOP has so thoroughly weaponized trans lives that even some formerly self-professing allies within our own party have fallen prey to the rhetoric. Looking at the national trend towards Democratic anti-trans triangulation, as well as our own internal conversations, it is clear to me that this shift is much more than a simple coincidence.

We have to speak up—loudly, strongly, and unapologetically—or I fear what our 2028 choices may look like. The ODP would like everyone to believe they are a "big tent" party. However, their successful efforts to silence even the Pride Caucus—even in cases where we are simply begging our candidates not to trade on our lives for perceived electoral advantage—has proven otherwise. The tent hasn't gotten any bigger; it has simply shifted, leaving many trans individuals, progressives, and allies out in the rain.

I will continue to advocate, organize, and fight for our community with everything I have. But I can no longer compromise my own moral principles by remaining part of a caucus that appears more interested in party approval than in true, defiant advocacy.

Sincerely,
Arienne Childrey

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything.

departing (but not final, bet) words from laid off A4TE staff, some of the most selfless advocates we've got, many of whom i'm lucky to call friends: "We only have our names and reputations. We understand yours. So will history." for whatever it's worth i throw my name and reputation behind theirs

Andy, Brandie, Jake, Jami, Anya, Maxwell:

You can have feelings about what we've said and done while clinging to our livelihoods-while hoping that we could change the outcome and circumstance about what direction y'all wish to steer this organization in programmatically.

But a real leader is one that meets the moment and doesn't bury their head in the sand.

You each had plenty of opportunities to show up and wish us goodbye and you did not.

Leaving this here because some folks need a reminder.

What Good Leadership Looks Like

Self-Awareness

Respect

Compassion

Vision

Communication

Learning

Agility

Collaboration

Influence

Integrity

Courage

Gratitude

Resilience

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...

Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."
