It's transgender awareness week, which means you should be aware of me! I'm Ela. I'm a writer, erstwhile comedian, artist, occasional designer, wannabe voice actor, and all-round ferret-coded. Below will be some links to various things. Books, mostly. I could really, really use the signal boost

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."

In those marble halls, I hugged L.W. and her family and told them, with the most sincerity I’ve ever spoken, thank you, before heading off to the press seating. Casey Parks spent the day with the family at SCOTUS. I’m so proud of this kid and her family for fighting. Read Casey’s story.

Assigned media is great and everyone should read their reporting. They are doing good, on the ground, trans-centric journalism.

I think ACB may be oddly persuadable. This exchange raised my eyebrow. She seemed to be unaware of anti cross dressing laws and independently brought it up later surprised to learn about the long history of actual legal discrimination. She’s also sided with liberals on not taking up cases.

"When you're 1% of the population, it's very hard to see how the democratic process will protect you" was quite a statement at the court after the TN attorney argued that the equal protection should be declined in favor of “the democratic process.”

Chase Strangio walks out of the court to cheers after he becomes the first trans attorney to present a case to SCOTUS. Video too big in size but will post later.

Ran into what I assume was one of the far right people in the bathroom line who said “I thought the men’s bathroom was on the other side” at SCOTUS. Thankfully the rest of the line were people who knew me and my reporting and I didn’t even dignify it with a response.

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room. I thanked them profusely. Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

Ben Ryan reports on fathers being “stunned” their kids are trans, acts as if transition means death. Ben is a gay reporter. He should know this is similar to how some parents act when their kids come out as gay.

Hey y'all! There will be no Erin In The Morning tomorrow. Instead, I was given a press pass for my coverage of the anti-trans laws across the US. I'll be ditching my computer for a pencil and pen, and I'll be ready to report for all of you. Thank you so much for trusting me to do this for you.

It might be curtains for Pete Hegseth. "As many as six Senate Republicans, perhaps more, are currently not comfortable supporting Hegseth's bid to lead the Pentagon as new revelations about his past continue to be made public," according to NBC News.
