This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now.
And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

The U.K. Supreme Court rules that Britain's equalities law defines a woman as someone born biologically female. The ruling means a transgender person with a certificate that recognizes them as female should not be considered a woman for equality purposes.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

This one is beyond egregious.
The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

Political neutrality is a fundamentally political stance, and a fundamentally conservative one, because it means you think nothing about the sociopolitical environment in which you exist needs to be interrogated, challenged, or changed.

Cinema, like all art, is inherently political. Not choosing a side might seem apolitical, but it’s not. It’s just cowardly. Stand by the fans being hurt by the current administration, and your talent that is vocal about it, rather than turning a blind eye

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

I know people mean well by sharing that "your validity is not dictated by an executive order" post, but it's not about validity.
No one needs anyone's permission to be "valid," but trans folks need legal protection, healthcare, and access to resources like healthcare.

Always blown away by the phenomenal art of @tinylongwing.bsky.social with characters from Vide Noir!!! 🥹 You captured Moonbeam’s essence so gorgeously, I couldn’t love it more!! 🌙
It's niche fanart o'clock over here but look I adore Moonbeam and hope and pray we see more of her eventually, because damn girl your skepticism in a world with astral storms and undead gang leaders is inspiring
