Grateful for this podcast. I am non-binary and tranmasc and this is very close to my own experiences as a parent. I was the birthing parent, in a supposedly heterosexual relationship (I knew I was bi but not not really out) when I had my kids.

When all is said and done, Azeen Ghorayshi at the New York Times will go down in history as helping to cause incalculable damage to an entire generation of trans kids. I hope advancing her career is worth dead trans kids. She's absolute scum.

What does it mean to parent beyond motherhood or fatherhood? @imarajones.bsky.social talks with artist and educator Johnny Blazes about raising a child as a non-binary parent—the joy, the grief, and everything in between. 🎧: linktr.ee/translashmedia

Puerto Rico's Supreme Court has ruled that nonbinary and gender non-conforming Puerto Ricans can now use “X” when applying to change the gender on their birth certificates. www.them.us/story/puerto...

The New York Times is back at it again (derogatory). An upcoming New York Times podcast on trans youth healthcare used audio from the mother of a trans girl against her will, after producers caught a vulnerable moment on tape.

WATCH: On MSNBC, @translash.org's Imara Jones details the relationships between anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, violence, and rising authoritarianism.

This is important! On @msnbc.com right now @translash.org is telling the truth with a summary of a year long historical change in effect on transgender folks because of policy, WHICH INCLUDES A RISE IN ATTACKS. We need these orgs to continue to document for evidence & history purposes.

Transphobia at the New York Times runs deep, from their hiring practices to their reporting. How did that happen at an influential news organization often considered the paper of record? @translash.org will fill you in.

It's never enough for transphobes. With all the anti-trans laws being passed, a SC trans man did what many conservative lawmakers want and used the restroom of their assigned gender at birth. But despite this, his privacy was violated by the bar owner and was arrested. Read more: bit.ly/3ZcgzgN

This Pride season hits different. With anti-trans attacks ramping up and efforts to erase us in full swing, one thing’s clear: trans people aren’t going anywhere—and we’re not staying silent. Pride is protest. Pride is power. Pride is ours. linktr.ee/translashpride

The Trump admin continues its war on transgender people, specifically trans youth. Instead of following science, the admin is instead instructing healthcare providers to follow their government care policy, despite no credible sources being used. Read more: www.cnn.com/2025/05/28/h...

A lot of great tips in here as we fly into Pride Season. Make sure you bring items to take care of yourself! 💧Water ☀️ Sunscreen 💜 Joy for all members there to celebrate identity and self-love! 📕 Maybe a book or two for downtime

The HHS is now telling medical centers to adhere to their latest sham report on transgender healthcare which literally says is not a treatment guideline. They’re sending this letter to hospitals in blue states and threatening them unless they stop trans care. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

Pride in 2025 isn’t just a celebration—it’s a risk, a statement, and a line in the sand. Our Pride Safety guide offers clarity + care for TNBGNC folks navigating public visibility this season. Your safety matters. So does your joy. translash.org/articles/pri...

Utah's gender affirming care ban for trans youth was put into effect 2 years ago, and a scientific study was ordered to find the effects of treatment. Unfortunately for Republican lawmakers, the results weren't what they expected: gender affirming care has overall positive outcomes. bit.ly/4keH3qr

Early this morning, House Republicans pushed Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill". Along with tax cuts and buffing money for immigration enforcement, the bill comes at a cost: removing gender affirming care from Medicaid, the CHIP act, and the Affordable Care Act. Read more: bit.ly/4dwrUxV

1. Republican legislators were in uproar after a Democratic representative asked the sponsor of an anti-trans sports ban to prove they were not trans. Their bill would require teenage girls to do just that. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Zan’s story is much like many other trans peoples: the anxiety of coming out to family members, the beauty of acceptance, and fears for the future. As he now looks to update the name in his passport, it is unclear whether his gender marker will remain accurate. Read more about Zan: bit.ly/43vUD1w

Omaha just made history—electing John Ewing Jr. as the city’s first Black mayor with 56% of the vote, defeating GOP incumbent Jean Stothert. This, despite a last-ditch anti-trans propaganda blitz aimed at smearing Ewing’s support for trans rights. www.them.us/story/john-e...

The far-right's goal is to "eliminate trans people from public life completely," and maybe even to force trans people into institutions. With a goal that extreme, "They have to transform trans people into an extreme threat to themselves and others."
