Seattle area peeps - the dominionist hate church from Spokane is planning another anti-trans protest at City Hall at 5 pm Mon.
If you’re counter-protesting, be careful. SPD were the instigators of violence against our pro-trans folks on Saturday, injuring many and arresting 23.

There is very real reason to think that HRT medication supply chain disruptions and outright bans on gender affirming care for adults may be coming. I’ve attached a graphic that may be of help in planning ahead.

Always focus on small businesses owned and operated by actual trans, queer, BIPOC, & women owned businesses that support* everyone in the communities.
*Which means - if the biz is owned by cis gay yt men who are MAGA - go elsewhere.

It so predictable, that when I see someone post a negative, hateful, ignorant comment on any content/posts by trans people, I pretty much know exactly what the hater’s profile pic will be.

If there’s anything that’s guaranteed it’s that gatherings of MAGA will contain vast numbers of self-hating, anti-queer/trans, cis men looking for D on apps. The world would be a much happier place if folks would just drop their internalized shame & embrace the joy of authenticity.

One of the worst things that happens to trans folks is our erasure upon death. Let’s do better when remembering our own. Please use more recent photos of Sam Nordquist. He deserves to be remembered as the man he was.

Trumpism, muskrat malfeasance, & eradication of Trans and Gender Diverse human beings from participation in any aspect of US life. A colleague just captured these. Feel free to share widely. All references to the existence of TGD people in the U.S. have been/are being erased from federal web sites.

Do not, I repeat, do not, submit a passport application, which involves a gender correction at this time. It appears the US state department has been instructed to cease processing those applications and to seize any and all documentation submitted in support of the application.
