Today is #TransDayOfVisibility

Throughout the day, we‘ll be sharing content that celebrates transgender and non-binary people. If you are trans or non-binary, reply with a photo or a tweet with your story for us to share!
Kai, Eisha and Jennifer are three transgender women who shared their stories as part of the Trans in America documentary series. Here are their stories 👇
Kai, from Texas, and her mom, Kimberly, celebrate Kai’s truth every day. #TransDayOfVisibility
Eisha, from Chicago, has found community and family after her experience in the criminal justice system.

47% of Black trans women will be incarcerated at some point in their lives, often due to profiling and targeting by law enforcement. #TransDayOfVisibility
Jennifer, from Georgia, continues her passion of working with cars even after being fired because she is trans.

About a third of transgender people have experienced employment discrimination related to their gender. #TransDayOfVisibility

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation MUST be made public.

Elected officials work for the people. We have a right to know if President Trump and his associates coordinated with Russia to interfere in our elections.
If the Department of Justice doesn't make the Mueller report public, Congress should use its subpoena powers to ensure the truth sees the light of day.
Here is our full statement calling for the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russian investigation:

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court reversed a decision in our case challenging the federal government’s sweeping interpretation of a 1996 mandatory detention law for immigrants.

That interpretation has resulted in gross violations of due process for thousands.
For two terms in a row now, SCOTUS has endorsed the most extreme interpretation of immigration detention statutes, allowing mass incarceration of people without any hearing, simply because they are fighting a deportation charge.
We will always fight the gross overuse of detention in the immigration system.

First the Trump administration stranded asylum seekers in Mexico while their cases go forward here.

Then it messed up the court schedule, so two people missed hearings.

Now @ICEgov is saying they should be deported.
sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigrati…
TO BE CLEAR: @ICEgov knew an asylum seeker was stuck at the US port of entry, not being let in, after learning at the last minute that the government was holding a hearing in her case. ICE tried to take advantage of that to get her deported.

Seeking asylum is not a game.
This mess is one reason we sued to stop the illegal policy of stranding asylum seekers in Mexico. This logistical disaster was entirely predictable.

We cannot allow the Trump administration to sabotage people's asylum claims.

We will see the government in court on 3/22.

CW suicide:

Jayden Lowe died on 22/11/2018 after 11 months on the waitlist for the monopoly transgender children's gender service. 7 months on he would still be waiting. The wait is now 21 months & still rising. Some of our kids will never get there. #NHSfailingtranskids
Imagine if in September 2018, Jayden had reached the @NHSEngland service, they still would not have given any immediate medical treatment. They would not have offered bridging hormones, instead they would have reported him & his parents to social services for self medicating. 2/
@NHSEngland If not ejected from service, Jayden would have suffered more waiting during an assessment of minimum 3-6 to establish eligibility access hormone blockers. If already through puberty, blockers would create a medically induced menapause, extremely distressing as a 17 year old 3/

brand new piece! it's more of a massive timeline than an essay: Origins of "Social Contagion" and "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria"... juliaserano.blogspot.com/2019/02/origin… #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #health #healthcare #children #psychology
...for those who'd prefer a TL;DR (it is very long), here is the summary of the piece... #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #health #healthcare #children #psychology

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

THREAD: earlier I tweeted about Jesse Singal's long history of writing fearmongering anti-#trans/GNC #children articles (+ also treating me & other trans women shittily): #transgender #LGBTQ #health #psychology
...Here I will "live tweet" Singal's latest Atlantic article, which is in the same vein as the others. If I was teaching a journalism class, I'd use this latest article as an example of how to write a highly biased piece that comes across as "fair & balanced" as possible...
...and since people unfamiliar with this subject will no doubt be unaware of all the misinformation & biases at work here, I'm gonna do math to it! I'm dividing it into 14 sections, each of which begins with its own header (aka, giant capital letter)...

Thanks to Trump's embassy move, #Nakba70 protests start a day early. Israeli army expects West Bank protests & 100,000 demonstrators in #Gaza, is preparing to use lethal force against them & again threatens to air bomb Gaza. 49 Palestinians killed & 9,545 wounded so far in Gaza
Here is a short #thread about the #Nakba
