WOW.

10+ Republicans just flipped in Montana and voted to kill a 25 year statute of limitations on trans care meant to end care, amended it down to 4 years.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge. It's the most Republicans I've seen flip like this in recent memory.

Zooey's doing work.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!

We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).

I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

Today was a big Trans day for me! Got my name and gender marker legally changed, plus it was my Year Post-Op Top Surgery visit with my surgeon! 🏳️‍⚧️ In MT, I resist by existing. I think I did my part today.

Breaking: A federal judge sides with Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and has just blocked Trump's anti-trans EO banning care under the age of 19 via a TRO.

This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.

And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders.

The rubicon has been crossed.

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people:

- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

This is my red line. I don't care if you are a local activist or a hospital CEO, a shelter administrator or a school teacher or the head of the Democratic Party.

I will not be complicit in my community's own destruction.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

This flawless sit-in protest in the woman's restrooms in the Helena, MT Capitol Building provided us the opportunity to show the discrimantory everyday effects that HB 121 would have not only on trans, intersex, and nonbinary folks, but also how it would effect cisgender women. KEEP FIGHTING HB121!
