There is absolutely no reason for any trans person to give Democrats cover to abandon full trans equality on any issue, in any region, in any race, to even the tiniest iota.

The two main lessons I've learned from skimming the DNC "autopsy": 1) I now understand why they didn't release it 😂 2) The DNC wasted a lot of money paying someone who is deeply incompetent. Honest question: was this whole thing written by ChatGPT?

Between anti trans campaign ads failing last night spectacularly and rep Seth Moulton walking back his anti trans rhetoric, it seems like the slide on support for trans people has been stopped for now. It's still precarious but this was the best possible night we could have had.

Tonight was an incredible, exciting, possibly unprecedented string of electoral successes. Celebrate it, enjoy it. But there is risk in these wins. Democratic leadership will see this as an endorsement of their approach. Supporting primary candidates is the only way to tell them otherwise.

The elimination of the filibuster at the start of the Trump administration would be the most disastrous thing to happen for trans people federally. The policies it would usher in would make what we've seen the first 11 months feel like a cakewalk.

Some of the proposed rules impact 18-year-olds, too. Also known as adults. Hateful, senseless, and in direct contradiction of what doctors actually recommend for their patients. I hope all of Congress speaks out against this.

They'll never be able to fully ban this care. There will always be providers willing to provide it like abortion. Even without access to providers, many trans youth will simply go DIY like trans folks have done for decades. They're not actually banning this care, they're making it less safe.

Today anti trans activists are declaring victory over May Lau, a doctor who provides gender affirming care in Texas, surrendering her medical license. In reality, she’s actually just moving her practice to Oregon, likely because Oregon will actually protect her unlike Texas (see 4th screenshot).🧵

My statement on Congressman Seth Moulton's entrance into the US Senate race, challenging myself and Senator Markey.
OCT 15, 2025

WHY IS SETH MOULTON RUNNING FOR SENATE?

Congressman Moulton's entrance into the 2026 U.S. Senate campaign reflects his fundamental misunderstanding of the frustration felt by all Americans.

We aren't losing elections because people want us to be more like Republicans - voters feel abandoned and left behind by the very people who are supposed to represent them. The Democratic party needs leaders who will stand up for everyone, not opportunistic career politicians who abandon communities that need our support the most. Massachusetts voters aren't asking for Congressman Seth Moulton to save us.

The path forward depends on fresh leaders, with new ideas heading to Washington, not the same Democrats who were already there.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years. Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism." Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing
The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.
