Trump's Anti-Trans Report Authors Revealed: Hate Groups and Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Activists
The majority of the “expert” comments cited in the “peer review” seem to be just as ignorant as the authors about the reality of trans people’s care.

Today, November 20th, serves not only as a memorial, but also as a clarion call to confront the systemic injustices that creates an environment of fear and hostility towards my community—the transgender community—particularly towards black trans women and trans women of color.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.
In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.
These are the people I'm remembering today.

Appreciate the support but you must drop your support of KOSA. This will censor anything transgender 🏳️⚧️ online and anything else especially with this regime and republicans persecuting us.
HAPPENING NOW: Queers Against Censorship coalition members, parents of queer and trans youth, and allied organizations are speaking out at the Boston City Council today against #KOSA & #ageverification legislation, censorship measures that would harm queer youth online. 🙅♀️

Since people asked, my top places for trans people right now are France, Australia (parts), Canada (parts), Spain (though politics there are tenuous), Iceland, Uruguay.
It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.
Sad day for NZ trans youth.

Meanwhile in Catholic schools, the environment is getting even worse for trans and queer people.

I just called two of my Democratic Senators and told them that their free speech will also be no more if they allow MAGA extremists to destroy Section 230. You can’t be an ally to those you promise to protect if you’re willing to take away the shield that protects our digital rights from lawsuits!

Fight for the Future does good work. I've signed their petition against the KOSA bill. A "child safety" bill can be a Trojan horse for surveillance and targeting of the LGBTQ community.
LGBTQ youths experience real-life abuse and depression due to their gender identity/sexuality. The internet provides crucial validation absent in their toxic environments. Legislation targeting digital acceptance under the guise of "child safety" threatens these youths' digital rights and well-being

As a gay teen, I had to face talk-downs at home, homophobic jokes at school, and condemnations at church, and it puts a toll on my mental health. I always turn to the internet where I can watch positive queer vids and write BxB stories. Imagine how more damaging it be for me if KOSA had passed then.
