Amidst so much misinformation (even in supposedly “safe” media like The NY Times and Atlantic), this KQED piece is a breath of fresh air - it really brings to life what families are dealing with during all the current attacks on trans kids. Highly recommended.

It is shameful that this mob hate mentality is happening in California. Sending love and support (and safety) to AB in her competition this weekend.

This is a wake up call that the Republicans have crossed a scary new line. Wanted to make sure we all are aware.
Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line.

No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People

Trump has picked Harmeet Dhillon as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

She has stated that it must be "made unsafe" for hospitals to provide trans care, and frequently shares Libs of TikTok posts.

She intends to target trans people in blue states.
