Being tired is not a badge of honor. It just means you're tired.

It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month.

Stonewall was a riot.

Trans rights are human rights.

No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans.

Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy.

They don’t get to steal our joy.

Unions are like condoms -- if someone tries to tell you you don't need one, you *definitely* need one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cis People:

❓ What does it mean to be a cisgender?
🅰️ Cisgender people are just like you and me, except they believe that their "assigned sex at birth" matches up with their "gender identity".

❓ How do they know they are cis?
🅰️ Cisgender people often feel that they "know" their gender internally, many times from a very young age. They feel as if they were "born in the right body".

❓ Who would date a cisgender?
🅰️ Though cisgender people often have a hard time finding partners, they are still able to have healthy relationships. Often, cis people date other cis people.

❓ How do they have sex?
🅰️ Cisgender people can be very inventive with their bodies!

❓ If I have sex with a cisgender does that make me straight?
🅰️ Assigned sex at birth and sexual orientation are two different things. Just like regular people, cisgender people can have any sexual orientation.

❓ Why don't cisgenders get counseling to learn to accept the gift of transition?
🅰️ Counseling aimed at changing someone’s gender identity, sometimes known as "conversion therapy", doesn’t work and can actually be extremely harmful. The belief that someone's identity can be changed through therapy runs counter to the overwhelming consensus in the medical community.

❓ What medical treatments do cisgenders seek out?
🅰️ Some, but not all cisgender people undergo medical treatments to make their bodies more congruent with their assigned sex at birth, and help them live healthier lives. Different cis people may need different types of sex affirming related care. Medical procedures can include:
- Breast enlargement
- Hair growth treatments
- Erectile enhancement drugs
- Hormone therapy
- Various surgeries to make one's face, chest, and anatomy more in line with one's assigned sex at birth

❓ But they don't even look like a cisgender!
🅰️ Cisgender people are everywhere. They might not look how you expect! Understanding is the first step toward acceptance.
