How many anti-trans laws were proposed last week?
They‘ve been counted, but let’s also reflect on what they mean. We all need to be amplifying the news and the message. Support the trans people and cis allies who are doing the work.

Yet 10 *more* ways trans people are told we shouldn’t exist
Now my list is up to 30. More than one transphobe engages with these ideas. If you read them, you’ll feel the force of the repetition. The message: Trans people shouldn’t exist.

10 *more* ways trans people are told we shouldn’t exist

A cis person discusses sex/gender, yet it’s not OK when a trans person does it? Today’s NYT op-ed shows us, yet again, what transphobic discourse sounds like. Within hours, the rhetoric was tweeted by everyone and their ham sandwich.
