Friends!

We’ll see you today for this emergency rally outside Fenway Health.

Join us to protest their shameful decision to abandon Trans Youth!
EMRGENCY RALLY Fenway Community Health Center Join us to protest Fenway's new policy ending all transgender healthcare for those under the age of 19 Friday 10/17/25 1340 Boylston Street 4 - 6 PM We cannot allow our institutions of health to abandon transgender youth! Fenway's caving to bureaucratic fear sets a precedent that the administration's threats are effective and only serves to validate their continued efforts to chip away at the rights of our most vulnerable here in Massachusetts!

We are less than a week away!

Grab your masks because the only place to get these awesome new shirts is at the Boston Dyke March Friday the 13th!

we’ll have limited quantities in sizes small through 6X!
two BDM committee members sitting in a garden, modeling the 2025 t-shirts, which are black with white and purple text/artwork. The model on the left is wearing a size 3X and straddling a chair with their back to the camera and their arm resting affectionately on the other model’s shoulder; the model on the right is wearing an XL and facing forward with her hand on the other model’s thigh. Detailed descriptions of the designs follow in the next two pictures; mostly what you can tell from this one is that they’re super cool. a close-up of the front of the Boston Dyke March 2025 t-shirt. Design is purple and white on a black background, and depicts a group of legendary monsters surging towards the viewer, with a full moon behind them. The monsters include: a giant lizard kaiju whose name we are not mentioning, a giant moth kaiju, a harpy, a siren, and in the center front, a gorgon with suggestions of fat rolls and possibly top surgery scars. Text reads “Boston Dyke March” at the top and “1995-2025” at the bottom. a close-up of the back of the Boston Dyke March 2025 t-shirt. Text is purple and white on a black background, and reads: “All Dykes Celebrated for 30 Years: queer dykes, trans dykes, GNC dykes, bi dykes, ace dykes, Black dykes, brown dykes, Latinx dykes, Asian dykes, Indigenous dykes, diaspora dykes, colonized dykes, immigrant dykes, multilingual dykes, disabled dykes, fat dykes, old dykes, young dykes, parent dyke, kid dykes, poor dykes, homeless dykes, incarcerated dykes, femme dykes, butch dykes, kinky dykes, curious dykes, closeted dykes, sober dykes, addict dykes, mentally ill dykes, religious dykes, rural dykes, urban dykes, monstrous dykes.
