If we don’t have any volunteers, we’re going to select someone at random and send the GOON SQUAD to collect them.
Did you know that GOON is one of the key QCERT roles?*

Pressure works, fam! Particularly on those who comply in advance ;)
Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.
Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.
And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!
AMAZING

Pro tips for hot activists:
1. Always brush your teeth
2. Always change your underwear
3. Always remember to feel bad about all the sleep you're not getting

One thing about being a full time worker and a full time parent and a half-time activist is that it's really easy to skip showers and turn into a disgusting little gremlin

Resistance is an internal struggle. It’s a struggle to remain true to yourself and to let your love for your people overpower your fear of *them.*
Queer people understand this as well as anyone. Stonewall was an expression of us loving ourselves and our community more than we feared our oppressors.
