Republicans in several states having been pushing for anti-trans legislation, including banning gender affirming transgender health care, as well as criminalizing gender expression.
Yet another member of our trans family dies because of fucking bigoted mother fuckers who all deserve to die painful deaths for the damage they have caused.

Eden's story is so heartbreaking. I'm sharing because she wanted her story told - but please look after yourselves and make sure you're in an OK place if you read
It's horrendous how people with money and power will use those resources to erase trans people. I know despair is a difficult place to take action from - but I'm hoping that I'm galvanised soon
Eden Knight's friends describe her as 'smart' and 'hilarious.' She is believed dead at 23 after, friends and a note she left say, a mysterious lawyer convinced her to return to her family in Saudi Arabia.
I am so fucking devastated about Eden's death. I mean, I didn't know her at all.
But there's something so outrageous about the way she was pushed into death.
This network of patriarchal men - from her family to the 'fixer' to the lawyer - that preyed on her, used her shame and vulnerabilites against her, manipulated her.
All to get them back into their fake little cult that is so crushingly pervasive. So all-encompassing, all-seeing and all-controlling.
Reading about Eden's story feels like a reality-check. To put my guard back up, lest I end up in a similar situation. That being myself is a heavy burden to bear.
But it also fills me with such resolve to never give up. That this is, in fact, a fight for our lives. And that I will NEVER go back to their cult. I'd rather be dead.
Eden really was a leader. And an inspiration.

Try #avengeeden. Shame the folks in the US that assisted this can go to the store without getting yelled at, to say the least.
