"“If you don’t include trans people, then we never get to seriously interrogate who gets protected in our society and who doesn’t," @trevellanderson.bsky.social, executive director of @transjournalists.org told @transitics.substack.com.

“We either want to protect and defend the conditions under which truth-telling and accountability are firmly-held and enforced values, which necessarily requires the humanity of trans people to be properly regarded, or we don't.” www.transjournalists.org/donate/

“As a Black trans journalist, it is also not lost on me how these efforts intersect with the ongoing attacks on trans rights and communities...”

From TJA Executive Director Tre'vell Anderson: “The recent arrests of Black journalists for documenting threats to immigrant communities are an absolute threat to press freedom. We stand in solidarity with our sibling journalism organizations in condemning such actions…

If you have any interest in trans rights, this is a pretty incredible documentary. It’s about Chase Strangio, the trans man who has been arguing before the Supreme Court. And about the ways the news media can misunderstand and misrepresent trans people. gathr.com/vod/9320a621...

Detransition is being used as political fodder by the Trump admin and its allies to support extreme anti-trans policies. In the process, the reality of detransition is lost. For our new series, I spoke with detransitioners who feel harmed by the Trump admin. Their stories are complex and important.
