We aren’t a “debate”. We aren’t “politics”. We are people. People with decades of research to back us up (it would be more than a century if the Nazis hadn’t burned the first library of trans research). The entirety of all medical governing bodies back us. No legitimate research disproves us. 🏳️⚧️

It was never about “protecting the kids”. We all said this. So many people gaslit us that “that will never happen”.
A/P [Feb 5] -- Bills have been introduced in Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Montana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas & Virginia that would cut off public funding for gender affirming care for _adults_. Georgia's is the first to advance out of committee.

For what it’s worth, this man should not speak for America. There have been NO female athletes harmed by trans women competing with them (just someone butthurt that they only had one fourth place trophy at a race and others with normal sports injuries by accident). Don’t pressure the world to change

Soooooo he realizes that Planned Parenthood does so much more than abortions, so he’s bragging about blocking people from getting healthcare that even he agrees with, right? Do they not see he just doesn’t care about the health of US citizens?

So TikTok is “banned” for less than 12 hours. Uh huh. Clearly it is an act of a politician who hasn’t even taken office yet that it is back 🙄 I’m not going back. It’s either a trap or a Trump ass kisser (or more likely both)
