It means so much to know that you care, are willing to listen and make our stories public. Just sent a DM, but as a fairly closeted trans-feminine bisexual, facing legislative attacks locally (my home state has a Republican supermajority) and nationally it’s frankly terrifying right now.

I'm down. I have ALL of the feels right now.

kitk.bsky.social•131 days ago

There's been such an outpouring to this callout. I want to thank you all so much.

My DMs remain open. Please forgive me if I don't get back to you immediately — but I promise I WILL get back to you.

I don't cover only trans issues, either — here's me and one of my fave teammates.

I'm a cis woman, and I KNOW that my self-agency, my human rights, are inextricably tied to the rights of trans folks.

i am one of a handful of lucky people in a state like MA but I'd still be happy to contribute!

Cis black (asexual/aromantic) male who is a staunch supporter of trans rights. Absolutely terrified of this new regime as it’s almost this country sinking into a royalty dictatorship. Basic human rights are at stake and constantly being challenged, but it will be resisted at every turn. I hope.

I think it’s pretty clear how damaging this is to the trans-community. How will this article help that community? Personally, I’d feel awkward asking a group to explain how they’re feeling in the midst of it. My focus is on how to nullify and best help my trans-folks survive.

kitk.bsky.social•131 days ago

I appreciate your perspective. But, as a trans person, it always feels a bit off to me when news stories about us don't actually have our voices. And the executive orders are certainly newsworthy.

Thanks for taking the time to engage and for letting me know how you feel.

jenhayes.bsky.social•131 days ago

Appreciate it, just trying to make sure we spread the work around. It’s just horrifying and I would love to see a counter action-plan. My friend had to shut down someone for being vocally supportive of the new EOs at the dog park - it’s given permission to be awful.

reposting for visibility!

What are you looking for?

kitk.bsky.social•130 days ago

Hi! I'm actually no longer looking to do interviews, thanks to the generosity of our community. But thank you so much for asking! I appreciate it.

kathuryne.bsky.social•130 days ago

Glad it work can't wait to see what comes of it.

Don't squander the possibility that transsexuals can be soft, and live easy lives. Don't let it be hard again. Don't let the bastards kill a future where it isn't this bad.

thundersstarfae.bsky.social•131 days ago

Sent you a dm :)

bertl.bsky.social•131 days ago

Some of those roughly 50 percent who used to be male?

Terrified. My partner and I are working on getting all of our documents in order to be ready to flee to Europe if we have to. We're in a very blue state, but we have no idea how much that will protect us. No amount of blue-state safety will save us from the people Trump pardoned.

igmucikala.bsky.social•131 days ago

I dm’d you.
