“Mom, as a trans person I always feel seen by you & that has made all the difference.” – Shane S., Lambda Legal staff This Mother’s Day, we honor and thank all the mother figures whose unconditional love for the trans folks in their lives helps them feel safe, seen, & nurtured. 💐

This could have a devastating impact on medical access and insurance for transgender individuals 💔 “We have seen this administration reverse course when there has been public outcry, and people still do have significant power when they band together to make their voices heard.”

Happy Non-Binary Parents Day! 💛🤍💜🖤 Celebrated on the third Sunday of April, we use this day to honor parents and guardians who exist outside of the gender binary, the children they raise, and the family they build. Art by @yallaroza 🎨 #NonBinaryParentsDay #NonBinary

Thank you for including us in your resources @montclairlocalnews.bsky.social 🩷 “There is this wave of erasure that’s taking place... We don’t want to be in the position of residents enjoying rights and equality for half a decade and have them pulled back.”

April is #NationalChildAbusePreventionMonth 💙 Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and supported. We find it deeply troubling that our current administration has weaponized this important month to attack gender expansive youth. To affirm your child is an act of love, not abuse.
