Note to self: If Fox News immediately picks up your interview and broadcasts it as supporting their audience's anti-trans prejudices it's prbly a good sign you've just thrown your community under the bus. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

I just don't get it. The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide. And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that" NO. THE FUCK. WE DO NOT.

The New York Times CONTINUES to release piece after piece spreading disinformation on trans care and dancing on the graves of trans youth in the wake of the SCOTUS decision. Just brought to my attention, from their morning newsletter. Disgusting. This isn't even their big hit piece today.

Trans youth and their healthcare are under attack—and now our highest court has joined in on the assault. While this ruling is no surprise from a right-wing Court stacked with extremists, it leaves families and young folks vulnerable. Our kids deserve to live authentically.

I was off testosterone one month before a (non-trans related) surgery and one month after. That second month was the worst month of my life. It was torture. I’d rather get sober from booze again 100x before living through that again.
