If a trans person hid stolen classified documents in a bathroom in Florida
National security secrets between the toilet and the chandelier. You are all invited to my chandelier bathroom, where there are no boxes, as I have no chandelier either. I keep my newspaper clippings in my laundry room.
My last time in a swimming pool in Florida
Florida has made so many laws against me, I don’t suppose I can go there anymore. Anti-transgender laws are meant to say that our existence is a logical impossibility. These laws are false, unworkable, bad-intentioned, and wrong.
How the bathroom verification cards would work
I think they want magnetic locks on public bathrooms. Don’t put me on a registry of ‘safe’ trans people. No one stands to gain anything from it. Everyone would be harassed in search of the Mythical Bad Trans.

I’m ‘disdainful’ of the latest U.S. court ruling against trans kids
No one asked me, but 🏳️⚧️ I’ll speak up while I still can. Connecting two court cases: US v. Skrmetti and Anderson v. Crouch. We exist, we should have basic rights, we can explain why. They want to stop us.
