I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

it is about to be illegal in texas for me to use the public bathroom of my gender in state government buildings, public schools and universities.

the tx senate and house have now passed the bill, and it is going back to the senate now for confirmation.
