This is outstanding. Thank you for sharing this resource on how to intervene in the case of harassment or attack and also for protests. 💪🏼
Those of us who are active in protests (and apparently attending local town halls), need to practice how we’ll intervene when something goes sideways. #Idaho

Especially true for those of us with 🤚🏻 privilege. Lots of resources to help you prepare; here’s one: www.nsvrc.org/sites/defaul...

I was just planning on doing some work with an accountability partner yet because I had that sign up she felt safe enough to share how she is feeling in red state and how she is doing what she can to educate. I was greatly encouraged. Together we will not be defeated. 💙💙💙

I did a Focus Mate session today (virtual co-working platform) and I met a woman in Utah. She commented on the sign behind me and said she’s a librarian and is planning a silent reading session for teens. Another book has been banned due to it having gay characters in it. 1/2

NYU Langone’s leadership is failing to stand up for vulnerable young people who deserve gender affirming care.

I’ve spent time on Bluesky, napped, been outside in the snow, had a bacon sandwich, texted friends and now what? Maybe that’s all I can manage for today.

I no longer stay in jobs, intimate relationships, friendships, conversations, group chats or rooms where I have to question the support for and celebration of my uniqueness as a transgender man. Enough of that happens ‘out there’.

I like this.
Hey friends. #MentalHealthCheck!

We all move through these things differently. I’m sure some of us are scared, sad, angry, stuck, numb, maybe in a bit of denial…

So please, tell me honestly, how are you?

If you need, my DMs are open to non-creepers who actually need someone.
