Cis allies, here's a super simple way to support trans people - and you don't even have to talk to anyone on the phone! Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.

The photo on the right is today, and this shirt is a much more looser fit than it used to be. All said there is just under a year's difference between these photos. I didn't feel like I had changed that much.

I'm going to Disney World tomorrow, Magic Kingdom specifically. I haven't been in well over 20 years and it was so overwhelming then... I'm hoping taking things at my own pace and being older will make it manageable. Worse case scenario I'll hop to another park if it's too much.

This past Saturday was my birthday. In an effort to treat myself and try to step out of my comfort zone, I absolutely loathe crowds, I went to Disney's Hollywood Studios... mostly to see the Star Wars stuff they have there.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban. Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

There's a current fetish for publishing primary source documents rather than having a reporter describe them, and I totally get it. But remember Reality Winner was caught almost immediately because the Intercept published what she printed out, unaware the NSA printer left an imperceptible watermark.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals. Take a look. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

I just need you to understand the degree to which every columnist and pundit claiming they just wanted to "follow the science" or have more research on trans kids is just remarkably full of shit

The BMJ journal Archive of Disease in Childhood has just published the epidemiological study done by York university that was commissioned as part of the Cass review into gender clinics in the UK. It contains some STARTLING (and yet, unsurprising) revelations. 1/n

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

NEW: Trans people centered themselves in a trans case before a very not trans court. Not only was Chase Strangio arguing Wednesday, but a trans plaintiff was in the courtroom, as were many other trans lawyers, journalists, and observers. "Trans people were not hidden Wednesday, and that matters."
