Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. 54 years ago, members of the LGBTQ+ protested for our right to be seen, heard, and protected. It was a moment in time that forever transformed the gay liberation movement.

For more information on how to preserve and honor the legacy of Stonewall, check out the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, https://stonewallvisitorcenter.org/.

This issue is a deeply personal one for me. I hope you take the time to read this and understand what is really going on: They are fear mongers, creating a wedge issue, and profiting off of it. It has to end.

They Say They’re Protecting the Children. It’s a Damn Lie.

On Saturday, Governor Spencer Cox of Utah signed a complete ban on hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming surgery for transgender youth in the state. The bill targets the most vulnerable kids in our country, who face the highest rates of suicide of any group, but to hear him say it, he’s really doing it to protect kids. Yet he had to lie outright to try and make that point.

The Status Kuo

Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban β€œgender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to β€œprotect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

Well, MTG tried to use a famous Dr. Dre song in her latest Twitter video, and–hoo boy–he was NOT having it.

Now, that is how you handle the hate-mongers. πŸ‘

I just became aware of this band from #Ukraine called #Jinjer. The lead singer has one of the most versatile voices I've ever heard. Here's a song they did about #astronomy. https://youtu.be/KJoPIgg17U4

I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag #TransPOC as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app.
After seeing reports of racism and bad moderation I guess i’m just trying to find my people. Boosts very welcome.
