Hey y’all. Are you looking for HRT but don’t know where to start? Worried about therapist letters and gatekeepers? I made this two years ago and have maintained it since. EVERY informed consent HRT spot in the country. No therapist required.

Legislators, authorities, and corporations must do everything in their power to prevent this kind of violence against LGBTQ+ people. Keffals was swatted for her LGBTQ+ activism and it endangered her life. I hope they find the perpetrator.
I talked to the Chief of Police of London Police Services and I am no longer a suspect in the investigation. They are now acknowledging this situation as swatting.

My 6yo son discovered the outrage of US healthcare...
Son: "Do you need money to go to the doctor?"
Me: "Yeah."
Son: "What if someone needs surgery really bad?"
Me: "They can't..."
Son: "That's not really fair... Can they do taxes instead?"
(I recently taught him how tax works)

I just learned about Louise Lawrence and she was amazing! She transitioned in the 1940s and recognized the need to gather newspaper clippings to show that we have a history. She was publicly out, opposed transmedicalism, and maintained contacts for surgical results in the 50s!

If you are in Virginia near Hanover County, action alert!
Hanover County Public Schools is considering a new policy where trans people have to get parental consent, out themselves, and beg their school board for the right to use the restroom.
They meet August 16! Details here:

California's safe state bill for trans people has one final hurdle in order to pass today. The full house will vote on it after voting in massive favor to amend it in a positive way.
This bill would protect so many trans people including trans youth from unsafe states.
The final assembly for the California Sanctuary State bill for transgender youth is tomorrow at 9AM PST. You can watch it live and call in here (assembly.ca.gov/media/chambe…). A call-in number will be given when the stream starts. We need as many people to call in support as possible

Babe, I know not everyone's in a good place to transition, but I promise estrogen will be more therapeutic than dysphoria-posting on twitter.

I like calling myself female just to piss off the bioessentialists while being technically correct according to the dictionary. Yes, my sex does equal my gender and I was very, very happy to change it.

My mom's younger coworker is a huge fan of mine on TikTok. Ever since my mom discovered that, she's used she/her and my name.
I got to see that person on facetime yesterday when I called my mom.
She says she's a huge fan and the real thing is... I'm a big fan of hers too.

Just got a call from an officer with the Hate Crime Division of London Police Services. He talked to the Chief of Police. I'm getting my stuff back in an hour.

HCPS in Virginia released an extremely anti-trans bathroom policy.
Trans students must submit:
- Parental signature
- Statement from a physician of their binary gender identity diagnosis
- Criminal records
- Interested 3rd parties
Then the SCHOOL BOARD determines if allowed.

I hate parsing of what Florida’s board of medicine did into “it’s not a ban they’re just going to start a rule making process.”
It assumes the board is acting in good faith, that a SEGM infiltrated board doesn’t already have the rules to deteansition trans teens already drafted.

This particular board does not make this particular vote without intending to follow through with it and I’m afraid any parsing or arguing over what the vote actually meant will likely be null and void in short order when they follow through with the purpose of the vote.

I understand the comms/organizational push to emphasize “hormones are not banned yet” but I think that there needs to be more focus on “but they will be soon and you need to take whatever steps you need to to prepare for that reality.”

I feel the need to remind everyone, given the Board of Medicine voting to accept the state's petition to ban gender affirming care, that Florida is attempting to ban SOCIAL transition of trans youth. See hightlighted in this official letter:
