I am a huge advocate for free speech but as long as its socially acceptable to make jokes about trans people, to make and share memes disparaging & demeaning trans folks, trans folks will continue to be murdered &denied civil rights. #TransIsBeautiful #transrightsarehumanrights.

BREAKING: Massachusetts just voted to maintain its anti-discrimination law protecting trans and nonbinary people. No one should ever have to vote on their own existence, but this is a hard-won, important victory and we thank the people of MA for voting #YesOn3

In indigenous cultures all over the world gender existed beyond the binary and folks who we would call trans today held sacred places in those cultures. Western colonialism drove those trans folks to the margins but we have always been here. Marginalizing trans folks is another.

Backlash is part of most social justice movements. Maligning and attacking the most marginalized is also not new and part of the backlash against movements for justice. Trans women are women. 47% of us experience sexual assault. We, too, should be believed when we declare #metoo.

Example of the brutality of colonialism. This latest administration effort to legislate trans folks out of existence is yet another example of why the fight for gender equity must be intersectional and necessarily must include trans folks. Trans folks need everyone to stand with.

Narrative which suggests that all trans women transition from male privilege erases a lot of experiences and isn't intersectional. Gender.
