1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

I remind people not to panic. The Federal Government has never provided benefits to anyone. It has been their friends, neighbors and family that pay taxes that provide. The Government only distributes. Friends neighbors and family are still there to help one another. Let's look out for one another.

Imagine if other mainstream artists did this on tour. Imagine if they brought tables to their venues to explain to fans why this is so important. It would change the conversation profoundly. This is important.
The Sabrina Carpenter Fund will now directly support The Transgender Law Center! The fund will support the Legal Info Helpdesk, which responds to more than 2000+ requests annually and the training of 400+ trans leaders through programs like the Disability Project, Black Trans Circles, and more. 🏳️⚧️

I polled my trans lit class on what made them enroll in the course. The answers were pretty much all “I’m trans” or “I have a friend or family member who is trans and I want to understand them better.” There are plenty of people who care and want to stand by us in this moment.
