As an organization committed to the dignity, safety, and full inclusion of LGBTQ+ youth, Unity Conejo strongly opposes the California Interscholastic Federation's recent policy shift that effectively segregates transgender athletes from their peers.

It’s been a devastating 24 hours with 3 NIH grants terminated…all focused on the health and wellbeing of trans or intersex youth. If folks have any ideas of foundations that may be interested in supporting the completion of these projects so years of work aren’t wasted, please let me know. 🙏

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!

A Pasadena eighth grader, Avery Colvert, started a donation drive called Altadena Girls for teenagers whose homes burned in Los Angeles. The initiative quickly attracted high-profile support from Ariana Grande, Prince Harry and Meghan, and others. nyti.ms/3Wnwl70
