Alert! Just dropped! Texas special session includes a bill to detransition trans youth, pull them from puberty blockers, and force them through the wrong puberty. It defines getting trans care for trans youth as child abuse. It will out trans children and irreversibly harm them.
This bill treats giving trans youth the GLOBAL, MEDICALLY ACCEPTED transition care as child abuse in the same categories as

- Sexual assault of a child
- Physical abuse of a child
- Substantially harming a child
- Creating child pornography

Texas is trying to kill trans kids.
There are trans people in Texas who are stealth, completely live as their gender, 15 years old... who under this bill, in front of their friends and classmates, will develop a deep voice, facial hair, etc. after living their lives as their gender.

The cruelty is unimaginable.

Just for the cruelty of it, they also have 3 other bills that were just dropped.
- 2 bills focus on banning trans kids from sports
- 1 bill focuses on banning birth certificate changes
Oh wonderful Twitter decided to censor/remove one of my tweets because I specifically called out that this bill places giving transition care to trans youth alongside other nefarious forms of child abuse and names those forms.
Texas Republicans literally want to take kids from affirming families and send them to families that will practice conversion therapy.

It’s genocide.

It’s that time to remind everyone The Matrix is a trans allegory written by two closeted trans women.

“You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
You can read a great in depth article on this written by @emilyvdw

Don't take my word for it though.

Hey twitter!

CIS is not a slur, and the cis people who banned the trans woman from twitter for using the word "cis" should be fired.

CIS CIS CIS CIS CIS.
Seriously. We're gonna use the word #cis all day because #cis means not trans.

Don't let TERFs take over this damn platform and kick out trans women for calling #cis women #cis women.

Imagine you're a kid in the UK and transitioned at 5. You're stealth, a "regular girl" in school, on blockers. Nobody knows.

You're 14. The govt just took your blockers away.

All your friends are about to see you go through a male puberty.

We can't forgive the UK govt for this
This is governmental violence against trans people.

This is a direct assault on all of our liberties, even us who live out of the United Kingdom.

This is a war against us that will kill the most vulnerable and youngest and innocent among us.

Blood is on the hands of TERFs.
In case this tweet blows up. PLEASE donate to the Mermaids UK, a trans rights org for kids in the United Kingdom.

And please, please, please fight this wherever you see it. This isn't an ideological fight. There will be dead children because of this.

Alright so anyway. Watched Natalie/Contrapoints. I'm going to type out my thoughts. I hope I've built up good will with all of you to say these things, and I don't think any of this is outside of my character and who I am.

It all boils down to... love your neighbor as yourself.
I don't know Natalie. I don't know many of you. Twitter is an impersonal space for us to share our personal stories. I have been shown great love here and I'm so, so thankful for it. You've all helped me grow as a person and become someone I am proud of.
Similarly, all of my life, I've always tried to help others grow as people to. Central tenets to my personality and morality have always been: forgiveness, seeing good in people, and helping my fellow neighbors grow and showing them love.

My nail care routine. First... glass file. Makes sure your nail tips remain strong.
Now that they are filed and shaped a bit, cuticle cream to hydrate the cuticle and keep my nails strong.
Time to get off old polish...
