The Gender + Sexuality Liberation Team had a joyous time contributing to Plymouth UCC's Transgender Weekend of Visibility! They facilitated a portion of their ONA 2.0 workshop with the Adult Forum on Sunday and then wrote and led a number of portions of the liturgy for Sunday worship.

This is really bad. There has long been censorship in this country, but this is an escalation that needs to be seen for the reduction of first amendment rights that it is.

Wrote a little op-ed that was published in the print version of the @pikespeakbulletin.bsky.social this week. The Christian nationalist agenda to legislate their faith as the law of the land is sinful and anti-Christ.

🚨 This is a coup.

A small group of billionaires is taking control of our democracy—silencing voices, dismantling institutions, stealing data, and putting lives at risk. We must resist.

Don’t normalize this. Take action. Speak truth.

Trans people are made in the image of God. Full stop.
charlotteclymer.bsky.social Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · Jan 20
I spent all of childhood and most of adulthood in deep anxiety, anger, and denial over my gender identity. For many years, I prayed God would somehow heal me. It took a long time to recognize being trans is a gift from God and that I am lovingly made in God's image. Trump can take it up with Her.
