Why are 52% of trans folks disabled? Because transphobia is disabling AF. What trans or queer-led org is bringing joy to your trans life right now and helping you combat the stress? One for me is @genderlib.com's organizing. You can donate to them here: genderlib.org/donate
Trans youth deserve care. Families deserve safety. Our communities deserve dignity.
We will defy hatred.
We will organize boldly.
We will build a society rooted in gender liberation for every/body.

Activists with the Gender Liberation Movement & Women's March were arrested outside the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for opposing rules that could effectively ban gender-affirming care by threatening hospital funding.
We won’t stand by while politicians play games with their lives.

Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.
We’re proud & deeply grateful to the parents & medical providers of trans youth who answered the call & stood with us at HHS last week.
One mom shared her journey toward acceptance & affirmation of her trans son — a journey that gave him the space to flourish. Gender-affirming care saved his life.
The Gender Liberation Movement’s Raquel Willis says trans youth “are our future” and that new HHS rules amount to a national ban on gender-affirming care for young people.

"We must continue to build a culture that affirms and supports trans youth and their truths," says Raquel Willis, co-founder of the Gender Liberation Movement. "They are our future and we better start acting like it."

25 of us were arrested - including parents of trans kids - for protesting HHS rules on gender affirming care for youth. And we'd do it again!
ACT UP, FIGHT BACK.

"We want all Americans to understand that Trump, RFK, and their HHS won’t stop at trying to block care for trans youth — they’re coming for trans adults, for those who need treatment from insulin to SSRIs, and all those already failed by a broken health insurance system."

25 Activists Protesting Gender-Affirming Care Proposals Arrested Outside Department of Health
More than 50 activists gathered Tuesday (17 February) in Washington, D.C. to protest proposed federal rules that would restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
One of the moms who was arrested learned that NYU was cutting off her kid's healthcare as she was released.
exactlyyy
Timely reminder that in 1960 the Greenville Eight sat in the white library and read books until they were arrested. This is a good part of the American fabric
WHEN TRANS YOUTH ARE UNDER ATTACK WHAT DO WE DO?
ACT UP FIGHT BACK!
All 25 of us are finallyyy out! No bail in DC but you can support action costs at genderlib.org/donate
Thank you for sharing 🫶🏽
Hell yeah, @genderlib.com
“They definitely expanded their efforts,” said @raquelwillis.com of @genderlib.com, suggesting that anti-trans efforts to sway Dems toward skepticism on trans youth in sports added to the anti-trans crowd’s numbers Tues.
there were transphobic signs from both Dems and gay cis people at the crowd
I simply cannot understand hating on trans people. Look at these kids! How would anyone NOT want the best for them? Why would anyone work to remove the smiles from these faces? It’s bizarre and wrong, let them find the space to thrive 💚
The youth from Asheville picture both 1) goes hard and 2) is the most Asheville photograph ever taken.
Amazing pics by @sidewalkkilla.bsky.social 😍
