There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

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.

We're suing President Trump to protect gender-affirming care access for trans people nationwide. President Trump, see you in court.

One of the first things Hitler did was destroy and burn trans research at the Institute of Sexology. Trump has spent the past couple weeks systematically attempting to erase any trans related information that he has power over. Just for context, you know.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

The legal actions are pouring in one after another. Deep breath people. Breathe. There's good people out there suing the Bastad as fast as they can. The various actions have to be analyzed to determine standing It takes a few days so hang on. Buckle up. The brakes are going to hit hard.

Aristotle gives a measure of hope: “remember oligarchies often appear strongest just before they begin to crack. Their very efforts to maintain absolute control frequently generate the conditions for their own transformation.” laughingsquid.com/aristotle-pr...

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional. In Illinois, we follow the law. This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.
