Buy trans books, leave reviews
Support trans authors
If you can't afford a book right now, then follow them on social media and amplify their voices

Here's a starter pack to start you off

Per the New York Times, Insta & Facebook have recently been censoring posts from abortion pill providers, suspended the accounts of providers, and hid them from appearing in search results.

I encourage people to consider their options, while they still have them, very carefully

Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

I need you to understand how grotesque it's been to watch the Smartest People tell the Democratic Party they were just too nice to incarcerated transgender people and in fact it's trans people's fault for asking them
gbbranstetter.bsky.social Gillian Branstetter @gbbranstetter.bsky.social · Dec 10
The FL Department of Corrections is attempting to "reverse" the gender identity of transgender people in its custody, referring to trans identities as "short-term delusions" and withholding hormone therapy. Reviving psychiatric theories of the 1950s, they blame trans identities on "childhood trauma"
Under the new policy, the Department of Corrections stated that the prisons will only provide those with gender dysphoria with psychotherapy — and not cross-gender hormones — except “in rare instances … if necessary to comply with the U.S. Constitution or a court decision.” The policy argues that “unaddressed psychiatric issues and unaddressed childhood trauma could lead to a misdiagnosis of gender dysphoria,” and that cross-gender hormones “may be requested by persons experiencing short-termed delusions or beliefs which may later be changed and reversed.”

All of this.
Tweet that says if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans to gain access to women’s spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women.

trans ppl flee’ing twitter to get away from terfs should serve as evidence that we mean it when we say we just wanna be left alone.

terfs organising to come over here and harass us should serve as evidence that they are aggressive and predatory abusers.

1. The Republican Party's panic over Sarah McBride in a bathroom shows it was never about sports or kids.

They cannot help but to indulge in its cruelest impulses when a transgender person becomes an equal.

Now, Dems have an opportunity to flip the script.

Opinion: Republican Bathroom Panic Over McBride Shows It Was Never About Sports Or Kids
Republicans are in a frenzy over trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride, following a debate among Democrats about compromising on trans rights. Today’s events make clear the folly of such a decision.
