You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth. Now watch the video and listen. It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

“Just let kids be kids” is an argument used to push cisgen binary normatives on children and a way to argue that parents “force” being transgender onto their children, when really it should be used to back up and support trans kids being themselves, every trans adult was a trans child at one point.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

The most maddening part of Trump’s freezing of government funds: He told us he would do exactly this. The American people had the power to stop all of this from occurring, but chose not to. It’s really hard not to be perpetually livid.

No, puberty blockers are not "chemical mutilation." They are tested, approved, and safe medications that have been used by youth—both cis and trans—for years. They are not new. They are not experimental. But they do save lives. Get the facts ⬇️
