My first entry for the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. Living past hope, everything matters and nothing matters. This doesn’t make sense, so it’s tough to resolve it. But this book drills into it.
People need to be allowed to keep their ID cards

We need to talk about the Heritage Foundation âenchiladaâ

Rescinded: âAdvancing the Human Rights of LGBTQI+ People Around the Worldâ
Trumpâs anti-trans executive order #7. I’m surprised anyone would still be asking ‘Does Trump support LGBTQI+ rights?’ 10 years after he escalatored onto the campaign trail.
Helen Joyce celebrates the 2025 trans U.S. military ban (TalkTV)

3 out of 525,600 minutes: U.S. military budget for gender transition
