The beauty of life lies in its diversity. We all have unique desires, passions, and needs. Embrace yours without reservation. Remember, the people who truly matter will celebrate your authentic self, even if they don't always understand your choices.

hi, cis folks! meet HB28. it's a sports ban on trans athletes. but actually, it's the first step to something much worse—see below.

45 sec call scripts for democrats & republicans in congress follow. if you've been saying you'd stand with trans people, now's the time.🧵

🎄 “I found my chosen family in a loving, queer community. They are teaching me that choosing me doesn’t mean giving up on my family, or that I love them any less, but just that I’m finally loving myself more” - Charlie Rigoni

As a queer person, this is how I reconciled not going home for Christmas
I’ve chosen not to sit in a room full of people in cozy jumpers calling me by my dead name and misgendering me.

MAGA trolls on every platform flooded my comments with outrage that I’m raising my daughter to believe in compassion, critical thinking, and respect for diversity. They can attack me all they want—it won’t stop me from fighting for her future. If you’ve got my back, smash the RT button and follow!

TERF's don't want to debate. They just want to bully, harrass and stalk trans people and their allies.

They are not feminists/women's rights campaigers.

They are far rights thugs/hooligans and deeply sadistic.

List. Block and ignore.

🏳️‍⚧️ The incredible dedication of the team at Transgender Europe to catalogue these murders across the world, they represent only a fraction of those that take place.

👇🏻🧵
🕊Rest in power to the 350 transgender people were murdered in the last year.

According to the annual Transgender Murder Monitoring Report, this year marks a "significant increase" from last year.

These numbers are also likely only the tip of the iceberg 🧵

Alright. I did it.

I'm leaving twitter and bringing my journalism here.

It's a major step - I got my start on that platform, but I can no longer support it.

Who will get a Covid booster in 2025? Far fewer than before...

The JCVI decision means that Clinically Vulnerable people u70 and who aren't immunosuppressed lose access.

“Cost-effectiveness” prioritised over protection.
