Please note the police are misgendering Sam Nordquist. One reason violence against trans men is invisible is because it's often treated as violence against women.
Yahoo [Feb 13] -- **TRIGGER WARNING**

NYS Police charged 5 people w/ violently assaulting 24 y/o Black trans man Sam Nordquist for a month before discarding his body in a field, describing it as "beyond depraved."

Rest In Peace, Sam. You are not forgotten.

. @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social says Labour has “been dragged in the wrong direction” on trans+ issues.

“Our party must completely reject the tired narrative that trans people are a threat... It wasn’t true about gay men in the ‘80s, and it is not true about the trans community now.”

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members.

The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said;

“trans women are women and trans men are men”

with no-one speaking against it.

Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

Erasing references to the transgender community is bigoted, despicable, and dangerous.
 
Trans rights are human rights.
 
Transgender individuals are people.
 
In New York, we will always honor transgender individuals' existence and fight for their rights.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
