Respectfully,

The deadline to register to vote in Florida is October 11th.
I emailed

urging him to support the Respect for Marriage Act.
His office replied with this — both claiming to be “pro-family” AND arguing that should I choose to get married & raise children, my family will always be inferior in his eyes.

Gladly! Every time a trans person has to present an ID, that now presents an opportunity for them to be forcefully outted.
Trans people already face heightened violence that physically threatens their daily lives, and this only places them at greater risk.

"We created this policy that everyone said would be a bureaucratic nightmare but now that the bureaucracy is a nightmare we're just gonna pretend it's not our fault"
This is a hoax.
Florida does not require a permission slip to teach African American history or to celebrate Black History Month.
Any school that does this is completely in the wrong.

I am absolutely disgusted with
@josephbharding
. If you have already determined that outing a student would result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect, then there is NO WAY to make a "safe, supportive, and judgement-free environment" that involves that parent.
#DontSayGay
An amendment was just filed by the sponsor of
#DontSayGay
to make it even more dangerous for vulnerable kids with a STATE-MANDATED outing of LGBTQ students to parents, specifically in cases of abuse, abandonment + neglect.
This will have devastating consequences for our youth.😢

Our action actually had nothing to do with trans suicide, but the fact that this cesspool of an app brought in so many comments ENCOURAGING queer people to kill themselves does kinda prove an unfortunate point...
Trans activists threaten to kill themselves if they can’t change their sex on their driver’s license. This insane emotional blackmail used to work for these people but now everyone is finally fed up and treating this sort of stuff with the contempt and ridicule it deserves.

For folks who are not at a significant risk of being killed just because of who they are, I can see why our action might seem dramatic, entitled, or even silly.
But for trans Floridians, the danger is very real and ever-present.

I might get some heat for this, but 👀
Time and time again, people in leadership positions will say they stand with queer people, people of color, youth, and then fall short when asked to put their money where their mouth is.
To all the LGBTQ+ orgs and leaders that went out of their way to ensure that I lost everytime I ran, including for the open seat, fuck off. This loss is on you as much as it is on me.
You've made a big difference. Our representation in Tallahassee has never been more at threat.

We chose 37 minutes because 37% of trans Floridians have been harassed, denied access to services, or asked to leave simply for presenting an ID with a gender marker or name that didn't match their gender expression. Now ALL trans people in Florida may face that risk.
