Today’s ruling isn't just about trans youth, it attacks the concept of bodily autonomy. When the government overrides decisions made between patients, doctors, and parents, it sets a dangerous precedent: one where politics, not care, decides who gets treatment. apnews.com/article/supr...

One year ago, Liz and I released Forging Queer Leaders: a book born of belief, backed by research, and told through powerful stories. It’s more relevant now than ever. 📖 Available wherever books are sold, or grab a signed copy at: www.breefram.com/store

Never miss an opportunity. First time I've done this in person in almost 25 years! Nice job making it really easy and efficient, Virginia. #vote

So there are some benefits of being sent home. We've restarted dinner and a show since we're not just racing through the evening.

On June 2, she... typed up a “memorandum for the record” requesting a voluntary separation. She emphasized that she was leaving the Army under the threat of “coercion, fear of unjust treatment, and pressure caused by an unstable and hostile policy.” Powerful. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

A few weeks ago, Senior Chief Kibler was one of the folks featured in the happens to be trans series. This past weekend he gave what is one of the best interviews I've ever heard on the trans ban. open.spotify.com/episode/7xsY...

As I think about what's happening today, there's a few lyrics that come to mind. It may have been 250 years, but what comes next is still very much on my mind. We'll have some hard calls to make about how we determine what next looks like.

I didn't share all that much entertainment related news, but when I heard "The Schwartz awakens in 2027" I had to light the lamp with happiness! www.upi.com/.../spacebal...

We were all assigned “Airman” at birth, but we knew we were meant to be Guardians. That’s the transition people should be talking about: our role in standing up the Space Force... But instead of celebrating that, our nation seems obsessed with a different kind of transition, our gender.

We celebrated our daughter's "promotion" from 6th Grade today. She earned the Academic Achievement citation and we're really proud of her! We made sure to be the sparkliest family in attendance!

Are you a lawyer who'd like to support transgender service members, but feel you might be unprepared to do so? Here's a fantastic free opportunity to fill that gap!

Reflections on the unlaced boots on my floor and being forced out of service. Though the footwear may change, the fight for inclusion continues. If you want to be part of, support, or suggest ideas for what comes next, check out the article! www.breefram.com/the_boots.html

10 years ago I went to DC for my first pride. The world still didn't know me, the hair wasn't mine, but we were hopeful. The work was being done that would allow the T on the shirt to be filled in. Just a year later it was! And these shirts went into historical archive and the back of our drawers.

I have been officially placed on administrative leave, effective tomorrow, pending separation. This is my farewell. www.breefram.com/final_salute...

Every weekday for the past 6 months, I have shared the story of someone who valiantly served their country and just happens to be trans. This is the last. #transmilitary #letthemserve #happenstobetrans #trans

“From my perspective, allowing people to serve openly only served to broaden the talent pool that the military has to draw from.... There’s no reason why flight isn’t for everyone.” - CW3 Demetrides Flight is for everyone! Thanks for sharing your story Alyx. www.airmedandrescue.com/latest/long-...

With future military assignments off the table, and having lived here for 8 of the past 11 years, this is home. So... we've decided to become Virginians. The Frams aren't going anywhere and it was great to kick it off with some hometown Pride! #reston #pride

Annapolis Pride was rained out today, so we're moving inside to Park Books. I'd love to see you there!

#transmilitary #letthemserve #happenstobetrans #trans

Want me tell you a story? Come say hello tomorrow night in DC as part of World Pride!

I missed yesterday, so today's a double!! #transmilitary #letthemserve #happenstobetrans #trans

Come say hello at Annapolis pride this Saturday!

Today, as I try to be every day, I am grateful. Grateful for those who paid the ultimate price so that we, and so many others around the world, could live in freedom. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the opportunities we often take for granted.

On Friday, through tears, the Enterprises came home. There are only a few moments in life that truly change everything. One of mine came when I was nine or ten, sitting with a friend who insisted I watch Star Trek: The Next Generation. Full Essay at the link.

Kris has one whale of a tale. I've been lucky enough to know him for almost a decade and to relate small parts of his story in With Honor and Integrity and in Forging Queer Leaders. A heck of an impressive officer. #transmilitary #letthemserve #happenstobetrans #trans
