"We’re terrified that if she remains in an environment that is so hateful that she might follow the path of so many trans people and spiral into depression and self-harm. So we’re going to do whatever it takes to keep her safe." Here's how families are fighting to survive Trump’s war on trans kids.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

If it’s not okay to torture a straight kid into being gay, it’s not okay to torture a gay kid into being straight. #ProtectTransKids #ProtectLGBTQYouth #BanConversionTherapy #RealMamaBears #TogetherWeCanChangeTheWorld

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Blaming the prevalence of mass shootings in America on the existence of trans people isn’t just a dangerously stigmatizing, politically motivated take. It’s also bad math. "Transgender individuals are much more prone to being the victims of violence than they are likely to commit it.”

I keep asking this to everyone who brings up sports (and haven't gotten a response from anyone yet), but I'll do it again: Watch this video and explain to me why this 14 year old girl shouldn't be allowed to play field hockey with her friends. I'll wait. youtu.be/yf9MfYZ-Bl4?...

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.

More and more families are having to flee anti-trans legislation. There are still places they can go, but how much longer will those places remain safe? And what if they can’t afford to move? My family could barely afford it. It’s been a year and we’re still recovering. apple.news/AeG4KuwFASgq...

The self-appointed bathroom police are at it again. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

So, we’re banning trans women from sports to keep things fair and to protect them, but this is just fine. Make it make sense.

It is not about fairness and it never was. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL

There’s no mention of banning transgender men from men’s sports. Further proof that this is about misogyny and fear-mongering.

It’s a good day to remember what we were once capable of, and why it’s a really bad idea to abandon science.

Well, this sucks.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Anti-trans activists want trans people to use the bathroom of their “biological” gender. This trans man did. He used the women’s restroom and then he was arrested. Further proof that it isn’t about protecting people - it’s about erasing trans people completely.

This is why, even though I loved the books, I will never engage with Harry Potter content ever again.

Utah legislators commissioned a study to go with their 2023 ban on gender-affirming pediatric care. Now they're trying to ignore the results.

Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out. Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it. This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights. Take it here:

I think a case could be made that erectile dysfunction medication IS gender affirming care.

It’s never been about freedom of speech or parental rights. It’s always been about control.

15 year old girls can get married in Mississippi, but an 18 year old can’t change their name? Make it make sense! open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Head Start is a lifeline for families in Massachusetts and around the country. I’m fighting to keep Trump and Musk from ripping it away to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

This is what happens when trans people are singled out: people who don’t look traditionally feminine are attacked. This is why protecting trans people protects us all.

I see you. You are loved.

I don't particularly care--nor should the Democrats--whether or not protecting trans people is popular in the heartland. Even if it alienates the "moderates," it's the right thing to do, and the Democrats should make every effort to do it. Sometimes what the people need is to be led and not lead.

This is what he signed an EO and might destroy at the Education Department.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

This ruling is based on the idea that a cisgender student’s comfort is more important than protecting a transgender student from actual harm. Discrimination at its finest!

For many transgender veterans, new anti-trans policies don't just feel like a loss of health care — they feel like an attempt to erase them entirely. 🔗: www.advocate.com/news/transge...

It is harder to have empathy for people who are different, but everyone needs to push through that discomfort. Every human and the same human rights and deserves to be treated equally.

All of the anti-trans EOs and laws have been “soaked in animus!” So how about we get rid of more of them!

The tide is shifting. Republicans are beginning to recognize that the attacks on trans people need to stop. They do nothing but demean people & distract from the work government should be focused on—improving the lives of all who call this country home. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Gavin Newsom is betraying LGBTQ+ people and especially transgender people. He should be ashamed of himself.

It’s about time some of these Democrats stood up against these anti-trans attacks. Also, why have I barely seen this covered in the main stream news?

The “First they came for…” meme has been overdone a bit lately, but that doesn’t make it any less true. Just like the Nazis, the current administration is coming for transgender people first. Not hypothetically, but actively and they are doing it right now. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

No, men are not taking over women’s sports.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

So, the administration is spending all this time and effort to go after 10 college kids and an equally small percentage of K-12 kids? What happened to the economy?

Trump is expected to sign an order tomorrow to try to ban trans girls and women nationwide from playing girls/womens sports. The issue has all sorts of background and details, so I'd like to add some context! 1/

I found this article encouraging, in that, some of what can be done is being done. Still: what you said! Don't use the mic whining you're powerless. You wanted to lead, so where's your leadership? statuskuo.substack.com/p/is-somebod...

Sometimes, you just have to forget about all the awful stuff happening in the world and go watch a very silly movie with your kiddo.
