Trans Love in the face of Hate
When you hear people spouting these lies, please think of your queer friends and family. Do not stay silent. Expose the lies and the hatemongering. Embrace queer people in your schools and workplaces. Shut down harassment. Remind people of love.

There’s still a huge swathe of the country where anti-trans bills are going into effect, including in Missouri. There are, nationwide, 79 bills which have passed this year to target trans folk. It’s dismaying.

I highly recommend giving this your full attention: Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen.
Transgender Rights
Hateful people are passing waves of anti-trans bills in sports, as well. They’re passing laws trying to say that we can’t talk about queer people in school, despite the fact that we talk about straight people in school every day, without any accusations of indoctrination into a “cisgender ideology.”
