Honored to be one of the queer activists depicted with @chosenfamilylaw.bsky.social. My usual paid corporate pride talks dried up this year. We pivoted to speaking at drag shows & tabling to spread the word about how to protect each other. It was incredible, better. We WILL take care of us always.❤️‍🔥

We’ve been receiving questions about updating gender markers on passports & our analysis of the situation is available here: www.chosenfamilylawcenter.org/gender-markers-faq Our goal is to make sure that you have as much information as possible, & whatever you decide, we’ll be right here with you.

No matter what the courts say, we are not going anywhere. Our fight continues. 📸 Will Martinez Jr

Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution. We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.

Today, we’re focused on remembrance, reflection — and resistance. June 12 marks nine years since the Pulse nightclub tragedy, a dark reminder of the ugliness & hate endured by LGBTQIA+ people. We stand in solidarity with survivors & invite you to stand with us this Pride. #PulseRemembranceDay

URGENT! The "nonprofit killer bill" is being voted on in House Ways & Means at 2p today (Tues). The bill gives the government sweeping power to strip 501(c)(3) status from any organization — no due process, no trial, just a designation. Nonprofits are the heart of the resistance. PLS CALL & SHARE!

URGENT call to action! Please make a quick call now (319-313-7674) to tell your representatives to vote NO on the nonprofit killer provision of this bill. It takes 10 minutes to call and you'll automatically be connected to your representatives. Please speak up and share this post!

Polyamory is love without limits: Resisting patriarchal "nuclear" family norms, celebrating self-determination & bodily autonomy, and standing with trans & nonbinary communities. Our families are powerful. Our solidarity is unstoppable. #PolyamoryDay #LoveIsLove

It’s Trans Day of Remembrance, a day to honor, grieve, and love the trans community members who have left us in the last year, and to recommit ourselves to putting everything we have into creating and defending a future that will uplift and celebrate trans lives. Keep loving. Keep fighting. #TDOR

The risk of an X gender marker is the risk of being visibly trans, rather than going stealth. Read more here: chosenfamilylawcenter.org/x-gender-mar... We will continue to support our transgender, nonbinary, & gender non-conforming community via legal services & advocacy. #TransAwarenessWeek
