We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

i think for the foreseeable future my priority is going to be trans people, disabled people, and palestinians. not to say that i don't care about anyone else but more that those are the groups i want to focus my specific and limited energy towards when it comes to organizing and resource sharing.

There are people who say that Reem is a fraud, and they put her accounts to report them and closed her accounts, why do they do that!! We are trying to help our families just through these accounts, I decided to take a picture of the blanket that was with Saeed 😂 Donate to us 👇🏻❤️ gofund.me/459d365f

My family had a warm home filled with love and laughter. 💔 After the war, we sleep under tattered tents and a cold sky. 😞 You can help us by donating or sharing. Just five dollars can make a difference. We need you to survive. 🙏❤️ gofund.me/35fdca7d

this is excellent work & contains call/email templates at the end with callouts for the specific legislative mechanisms democratic senators could use to kill this part of the bill. read the piece. make the calls. there’s no earthly reason any senator’s phone should stop ringing in the near future.

Hello everyone! I'm new here, my name is Adham, a lawyer from Gaza. Can I find a welcome here? 🤫 No, I'm not the person you knew who was asking for help and whose account was recently deleted. I'm someone else. 😶 Oh I forgot.. this is my campaign for my family too: tinyurl.com/HelpAdhamsFa...

in a weird way i feel really grateful i started hrt in a big southern city bc the care i need has been pretty accessible and very friendly but also my healthcare providers have been aware of the worst-case scenarios and planning accordingly for a while.

This is one of the most profound essays I’ve read in years. You don’t need me to tell you that Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the finest writers of our time, but this essay in particular is a hard-won offering. Please read it and share with people you love.

my bro dorian transitioned before insurance regularly covered gender-affirming care, so he had to save up $10k for top surgery. last i checked, my estimated out-of-pocket cost for top surgery under insurance is $600.

bc i'm tired of hearing about this and elon musk's hair plugs, let's get this out of the way: every single ban on trans healthcare includes carveouts for the exact same medications but for cisgender people

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

So, I've put this off for a while (I've spent the better part of the last decade trying to not be deported so I'm very broke) but I desperately need FFS. This would be life changing and life saving for me. Any little bit helps me, so please consider helping out ❤️ gofund.me/306ebd2b

i feel conflicted about er/in re/ed's (not censoring out of disdain, just want priv accounts) report on the bill bc she warns of trans ppl turning to "unsafe alternative treatments" but diy hrt can be done quite safely, at least for now, and sadly a lot of trans people are probably going to need it.

You CAN and should take part of this. We are NOT powerless. In fact, they did this in the middle of the night BECAUSE we have power. Let what they have done be BROUGHT TO LIGHT. That's what you can do right now.

Most trans folks who qualify for Medicaid are BIPOC. Eugenics is racism. Eugenics is ableism. Eugenics is class war. Don’t let their phones stop ringing if for nothing else to deny them a moment’s peace.

Important thread and it's extremely important to know that this isn't over. I particularly want to stress that if you are in a district Represented by a Republican who voted for the bill, an immediate thing to do alert the public and the media in your area. Indivisible has other suggestions.

all cis people hanging around reposting how you support trans rights the best time to help trans people stockpiling hrt was in the past, the second best time is now donate, lie to a doctor to get a prescription, whatever is necessary actions speak louder than words

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.
