We sat down with the legendary Jude Patton: healer, historian, and one of the first trans men to medically transition in the U.S. Our elders are living archives of courage. Full episode: youtu.be/80E-dV3X140 #TransHeartbeat #TRACTIONPNW #JudePatton #TransHistory #TransElders

The illegal attempt of the federal government to dictate who receives medical care and what kind of medical care they receive, has been paused. www.npr.org/2026/07/13/n... #transrightsarehumanrights #genderaffirmingcare #medicare

If you haven't already seen this article (or another related article) in the Washington Post, check it out. Journalist Casey Parks follows the story of Project Open Arms transplant Crow, and explains the funding squeeze trans-led organizations like TRACTION are experiencing since the last election.

Happy Trans+ Day of Visibility! We're celebrating every kind of trans+ story today - from the bold & public, to the confidential & quiet. It's a good day to tell the two-spirit, nonbinary, tranny, genderqueer, trans+ person in your life that they are the GOAT. And they are loved.

On a field of blue and green are circles containing illustrated portraits. The portraits represent people of various genders, skin and hair types, and modesty. The text reads, "Happy Trans+ Day of Visibility! Whether known or not... We are born in every color and shape. We pray, play, eat, create, love, and grieve in every language." Below that is a pink heart.

Take action to stop the SAVE Act: action.transequality.org/a/reject-tru... #stopvotersuppression #makeyourvoiceheard #transrightsarehumanrights

Background of the image is of an out-of-focus newspaper. At the bottom is a group of illustrated people with various gender expressions, various races, various ethnicities. The text reads: Stop the SAVE Act. Protect our Right to Vote. Take action
link in description.

The image is the same as the first page. Text reads: A4TE Warns: Though the SAVE America Act does not currently contain any language that directly targets transgender rights, its implications for our democracy are dire. If signed into law, it would disenfranchise millions of voters and disproportionately impact
transgender voters, only about 1 in 5 of whom have updated all their government documents and forms of identification.

The image is the same as the first page. Text reads: A4TE Warns: The Senate, bowing to Trump’s demands, is currently considering amendments to the SAVE America Act that would ban trans women and girls from participating in sports and ban gender affirming care for youth.

We started Trans Heartbeat last year with Mya Byrne's "Trans State of the Union." Seems fitting to launch '26 with a check-in. It's a conversation filled with music, insight, and the steady heartbeat of trans resilience. Watch, listen, give it a 'like' and 'follow': bit.ly/transheartbeat
