Trans youth like Becky Pepper-Jackson deserve the right to participate in school sports without facing discrimination.

Tuesday, we'll be at the Supreme Court defending Becky and other trans kids' right to play.

pretty crazy for basically a couple of poor/marginalized trans women come together and produce a news outlet that is making national headlines and re-reported by multiple outlets within months of getting starte.

And I promise you will see more huge news reported by us very soon!
Currently, TNN operates on a yearly budget of just over $40,000. For comparison, some major media outlets have budgets that extend into the billions--tens of thousands times our budget.

Despite the gap, yesterday's NYT piece was the #2 performing news article on Bluesky for the day (BlueReport)

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

For people who think book banning isn't a big deal because even if they're not available in libraries and schools, you can still buy them--this is an elitist argument. Most kids ONLY have access to books from their library. Libraries ensure info access for all. Libraries are vital in democracies.
It's not a badge of honor when books get banned. It stinks for everyone. For the book creators, who worked hard to create something special that now won't be shared. The kids who miss out. The librarians and teachers who are treated like criminals. And taxpayers who have to pay for this nonsense.

The other night, I opened my copy of Come Out and Play, read the first story, which is by @andycasadonte.bsky.social, and was crying when I hit the end of it. It’s so beautiful, both the story and the images. I’m excited to dive into the rest.
Dropping off a batch of Come Out and Play @Kickstarter fulfillment at the post office! We are underway with physical rewards! We plan to get all rewards out by the end of the month!
