This picture is going to be printed in history books as a turning-point for transgender people in the US. The open question is, which direction will the turn be in?

I don't know, and I don't have ideas for what I can do, but we are on the cusp of big, scary changes that will affect everyone, not just trans people, not just minorities.

If you were waiting for a call to action, here it is. They just banned her from the MT House using the rules of decorum. What better metaphor for where we are?

@taedryn honest question from a random, nobody Gen Xer in Michigan: How do we help? What is our call to action?

@SallyPaul Action is needed everywhere. Idk how much you do already or how much is available to you, but I recommend searching for and reaching out to local lgbtqia2s organizations, self-educating, raising awareness, and checking in on ppl who are close to this. Politicians are enacting anti trans laws all over the country and hate is happening everywhere.
