I've started responding to some of these, and I will say a good healing salve in ~ these times ~ is an inbox full of trans joy from folks across Canada. I'm working on this story for a while though, so feel free to keep sharing in your networks!

BEEP BOOP THIS IS NORA'S AUTOMATED STRETCH CHECK. today is Sunday. everyone do your stretchies. 💪🤖

You care about women? Give them reproductive rights, accessibility options, be accountable, give access to comprehensive health care, affordable child care, economic stability, workplace safety, better laws against sexualized violence. Don't continue to strip sport from communities that need it.

This is completely unsubtle transphobia language and also a blatant lie as research has shown the opposite. This is complete capture by international hate groups.

This week has seen anti-trans legislation and policies advance or pass in Portugal, India, Ghana, Senegal, the US and the Olympics. It’s an an-all global assault on transgender people. It was begun by rich white ppl in England and the US. Being trans is good. We will never abandon trans people.

if you live in California & have a soul, sign this petition I made to oppose Rady Children’s Hospital’s decision to end gender affirming care for trans youth www.change.org/oppose-rady-...

You CAN get gayer

Trans youth like Becky Pepper-Jackson deserve the right to participate in school sports without facing discrimination. Tuesday, we'll be at the Supreme Court defending Becky and other trans kids' right to play.

pretty crazy for basically a couple of poor/marginalized trans women come together and produce a news outlet that is making national headlines and re-reported by multiple outlets within months of getting starte. And I promise you will see more huge news reported by us very soon!
