First they came for sex workers.
Then they came for trans people.
Then they came for birth control.
Then they came for sex education.
Then they came for marriage equality.
Now they come for women deciding at all whether to give birth.

But first they came for sex workers.
Please remember that.

Because they're still going, and if they succeed, they've made clear what their path is.

Just finished watching Leeja Miller's latest video on new anti-trans rules in the US 🥺

Leeja referenced a Trans Relocation Guide, so we wanted to share this here for any US folks affected by this   

Additionally, in case you're not already aware of it, there's a global, umbrella organisation called ILGA World that we recommend checking out. It's sub-divided into regional network organisations and has over 2000 member organisations.

The regional networks are:

• ILGA Asia
• ILGA-Europe
• ILGA Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) (no website - only a Facebook page)
• ILGA North America and the Caribbean (no website - only a Facebook group)
• ILGA Oceania (Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Pacific islands) (no website - only a Facebook page)
• Pan Africa ILGA

ILGA-Europe produces a yearly Rainbow Map to rank European (and some adjacent) countries by LGBTQIA+ rights and equality.

If you are affected by the recent anti-trans rights actions taken in the US or elsewhere, please, please make a note of the above organisations, as well as the below websites about gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT):

• HRT Café
• DIY HRT Market
• DIY HRT Directory 2.0

Suffice to say, boosts very much welcome and appreciated
