We oppose the #BigBeautifulBill. Stripping health care from 12 million people and cutting food assistance while protecting tax breaks for the wealthy is unconscionable. Trans and marginalized communities will suffer most. This isn’t justice—it’s cruelty.

🌈♿ Happy Disability Pride Month from Trans Up Front IL! Our organization was founded by individuals with both visible and invisible disabilities, and we're proud to center accessibility in everything we do. Disability justice is trans justice. 💜♿🏳️‍⚧️

In a 6–3 decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor, SCOTUS has allowed families to opt their kids out of LGBTQ+ inclusive books based solely on religious objection. This is a dangerous rollback of inclusion in public education and a direct attack on representation. (1/2)

There's something about trans kids and Pokemon... Maybe it's the idea of evolving into a final form? Maybe they're all just nerdy? Maybe it's Pikachu's cute little cheeks? Come hang out with us tomorrow, 5-7pm at the Glenwood Alfresco (Glenwood Avenue between Lunt and Morse, in Chicago).

Learn more about the Supreme Court decision and why it's important that we all stand up, together, for trans youth in Tennessee and throughout the country!

The US v Skrmetti Supreme Court decision came out today! Unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Tennessee can proceed with its discriminatory ban on gender Affirming Care for youth in the state. Stand up and hit the streets for trans youth; access to lifesaving healthcare is vital!

The court got it wrong. Denying transgender youth the health care they need solely because they’re trans is discriminatory, and we will keep fighting.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has imperiled access to health care for trans youth by upholding Tennessee’s ban on affirming care for trans youth and ruling that this anti-trans law is not unconstitutional.
