2025 has been an incredibly hard year for trans people. And yet... the political project to erase us is failing. In spite of them having so many levers of power, many of us have continued to thrive, and new pathways open up every day to get around the attacks.

Plan to strip transgender gun rights draws comparisons to other discriminatory laws - cleveland.com
A plan to strip transgender Americans of their gun rights is quietly being considered by the Justice Department. Historians point to patterns of using mental health classifications to strip rights from marginalized groups, from post-Civil War restrictions to the Lavender Scare.

I'm tired of the framing of trans suicides as an entirely internal struggle detached from the realities of a deeply hostile culture hell-bent on denying us care, dignity, and autonomy.
Every trans suicide is a social murder, because you cannot ignore a society actively trying to eradicate us.

Today, I got a phone call from someone I first met 7 years ago.
A military family and their daughter, a young trans girl named Blue, came to Washington D.C. and met me. I promised Blue 7 years ago that I would fight to protect the trans community.

Being trans right now is being considered so insignificant that you're hardly worth defending while also so much of a threat that you're worthy of annihilation.
It’s dehumanizing on all sides.
