It sucks to have sat here all last year knowing exactly what was coming as soon as 2022 hit in terms of anti-trans legislation while feeling powerless to stop it.

Cis allies, now is where you need to show you're true allies to us.

We're drowning and being thrown cinder blocks.

Indiana also wants to protect parents who misgender their kids:

West Virginia wants to jail doctors and detransition trans teenagers:

Florida wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Indiana wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Utah wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Missouri wants to ban us from changing our birth certificates:

Alabama wants to detransition trans teens and jail doctors:

Not just hitting a retweet button or hitting like.

Make phone calls, befriend trans people, donate to gofundmes, provide mutual aid and support, ruin Christmas and Easter and family vacations over it, ostracize transphobes.

Every hour it's a new one.

Oklahoma wants to ban trans people from bathrooms.

Mississippi wants to ban trans youth from existing and jail doctors

Virginia wants to ban trans youth from bathrooms

Iowa seeks to ban trans youth from bathrooms.
