Breaking: A federal judge sides with Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and has just blocked Trump's anti-trans EO banning care under the age of 19 via a TRO. This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.

You can’t erase trans people. They’re your coworkers, neighbors, cashiers, tech support, writers and so much more. And they were integral to Stonewall.

Don't beat yourself up about how long you've been away from your writing practice. The important thing is to go back. Tonight, why not read the last pages you wrote?

I hope this helps clear up what just happened. It is short, free, and sourced.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Chaos and stress. My part of #California is on fire. This is a piece I'm working on. Is it done? I don't know. I'm not focused it right now. Please support those in need: https://buff.ly/3Pt37zG #Collage #Art #CVS #Fire #MutualAid

Just finished Revenge of the Tipping Point and keep thinking about the example of gay rights acceptance aligning with the popularity Will and Grace. (I’ve heard the same about Modern Family and gay marriage). What TV shows are building the overstory for trans awareness and acceptance?

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...

There’s been a lot of reporting that the capital bathroom ban is not in Speaker Johnson’s rule package. It’s misleading: it doesn’t need to be in the rule package. The speaker controls the facilities, and he is using that to enact the capital bathroom ban and has since it was first debated.

2024 was a historically difficult year for transgender people, but it was not without its victories. I list over 60 victories for transgender people this year. There is a case for hope, and the fight for transgender rights is not without wins. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional. This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected. This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.

Trump has picked Harmeet Dhillon as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. She has stated that it must be "made unsafe" for hospitals to provide trans care, and frequently shares Libs of TikTok posts. She intends to target trans people in blue states. Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. The first major federal fight over transgender people post-election is here. A federal provision has been added into the NDAA that would pull certain healthcare from transgender servicemembers' families. If Democrats stay unified, it could be blocked. Subscribe to support my journalism.
