About 125,000 transgender people are assaulted in the restroom every year. No transgender woman has ever been convicted of assaulting a woman in a public restroom.

Let's Fight Back - Together! We're joining forces to spread the word on Banned Books Week! With as little as $4 (the cost of a donut), you can help! Every dollar goes toward getting banned and challenged books into the hands of young readers. readyourworld.org/fightbookbans #ReadYourWorld #kidlit

Vaccinations aren't just for yourself, they are for those around you. <3 If you can get vaccinated against COVID during this time when it's challenging to do so, please go out and do it. It is one way to fight back against this onslaught of evil *and* gives you the bonus of less personal COVID risk!
