The fire hydrant of awfulness is supposed to overwhelm us and it’s working. But all I can think of is that it would somehow be worse if we weren’t overwhelmed & furious &full of grief. If we felt nothing. I have to hope that’s like a single goddamn point in our favor. Our humanity is at least intact

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates.

Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up.

And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

If you think the issues we have are because a Trans woman wants to be called “she” and not the richest man in the world doing a Nazi salute on live tv? I can’t help you… you’re brainwashed beyond repair.

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying “it’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying “it’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

Remember, my fellow trans people, if the government stops recognizing your gender, their opinions are of no consequence to your value.

If the most evil people on earth don’t approve of you, that’s a good thing.

I am not a man.
Evan Urquhart is not a woman.
No matter what Trump's government said.

So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in.

So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.
Trump is reportedly going to sign a piece of paper later today declaring that the federal government of the United States defines me as a woman.

If there's a better encapsulation of how stupid the whole "define woman" thing is and has always been I'd love to see it.
Let's close with a picture. This is me, full body, no filters, no tricks.

PSA: you do not have to watch the news tomorrow. You do not have to keep track of everything day 1. This is a marathon not a sprint. Take care of yourself and spend time with friends and family. I'll be out on the slopes wfh my partner enjoying nature. They can't take our joy, I won't let them.
