There is no “trans ideology.”

There are trans people.

If you deny them their worth and dignity, their human and civil rights, that’s a problem with YOU.

Fix yourself.

1. In a major development, the first national consensus guidelines for trans youth have been released in France.

They recommend affirmation and medical care, denounce "wait and see."

They refute much of the Cass Review.

I don't think a lot of cis people, queer or not, realize that this SCOTUS case on healthcare this week affects us all, not just our trans siblings. Because at the core of this is a severe question: Can you ban healthcare?

@msjpauly.bsky.social has an amazing legal breakdown to read on this 👇
This Supreme Court case could change everything for trans rights
US v. Skrmetti could slow the wave of anti-trans laws—or tell policymakers it's "open season."

Crazy how a relatively small number of voters said "Inflation sucks, I'm voting for the other guy" and everyone acts like they made a deeply informed and thoughtful decision about their party loyalty that will be irrevocable unless Democrats change everything about themselves.

This is how the Overton Window shifts dramatically to the right. This is a bad take. Do not let the right determine how progressive we will be.
First quote in this new @politico.com story is from RI's Dem committeeman Joe Paolino: "The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle” www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

We do not need ANY debate about trans women in sports, respectful or not. None. Zero. Zip.

What we need to do is affirm and protect the civil and human rights of trans people. We need to ensure that they have access to housing, healthcare, and jobs. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Trans women and girls belong in all spaces they want to be in. If you’re worried about men in sports, ban men’s sports. Hope this helps! #transrights
