Don't give in to hopelessness because that's exactly what they want. We've existed since the dawn of humanity. We're spoken about in ancient Sanskrit. We will continue to exist, and they can't stop us.

Executive Orders have no power on their own.

Trans people have always been and will always be here

Executive Orders have no power on their own.

The State Department has to change its policy on passports for there to be any implementation, and that will not happen overnight.

We don’t know what the real effects of the Executive Orders will be. There have not been any concrete changes to legal policies yet.

Not everything proposed is actually something that can be executed. Some of this is meant to just cause fear, and not everything will happen in the same way/timeline everywhere.

There will be legal challenges to the orders.

TO TRANS OHIOANS:
- Trans people have always been and will always be here
- You have never and will never need the government's permission to be trans
- You are trans no matter what your government papers say
- You don't need to tell the government you are trans
- Connect with other trans people, you're not alone and we're going to deal with this together

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Don't criticize bigots without amplifying clergy who speak actual truth. This woman is a hero!

Hey everyone! Incredible news!

Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies!

If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you!

This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
