I’m going to consolidate a thread of all gofundmes of parents of trans kids who need relocation assistance out of Texas here.

The first request is from Violet for Issa, her trans child.

gofundme.com/f/help-us-move…
Please if you need assistance reach out to me or post your own here. I know a few parents are currently making GFMs. Please be safe when you make it and avoid your last name.

Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.

He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.
If you hare a "duty to report" in Texas, Texas is officially saying that you have to report trans youth to family and protective services or risk losing your job.
Unsurprisingly, Texas cites Tavistock vs Bell, the UK case that was later OVERTURNED that banned youth from transition care in the UK for a short time.

Texas has declared its intention to begin kidnapping trans youth from their parents.

Where are our allies? Why are they silent?

Biden? Harris?
Any senator? AOC?
What about "left media"?
Joy Reid? Rachel Maddow?

It's crickets out there.

Do better, cis people.
The trans military ban got 100x the coverage, which affected a small handful of military service members (and which still has not been completely solved, despite what media reports may have said).

This is families being broken apart for no other reason than beign different.
We have been sounding the alarm for three years now when these bills first started exploding through our state legislatures.

This has been the biggest, most systematic attack on transgender people in our history.

And our thought leaders are silent.

Saying that trans women were "socialized male" is dumb.

God knows whatever socialization they tried surely didn't work very well. Clearly. Look at us, lol.

But it also misses that a lot of us were internally picking up the social cues meant for girls and incorporating them.
At any rate, in my particular case, I spent most of my adolescence online as a girl and that _was_ my socialization.

And any "socialization" in real life was just me avoiding people and tuning out the grey-shade life that was me "in the real world."
After my transition I found that I slipped very easily into existence as a woman. I was subconsciously collecting all of the tools, social cues, expectations, etc.

Even the problematic ones, which a lot of us, like a lot of cis women, have to deprogram from ourselves.

Just had to tell my mom to never call me again.

She keeps misgendering me. Then apologizing. I told her to try harder. She then said that "look, my beliefs are different than yours."

So I told her to stop calling me and I think I'm cutting her off. :-/
Its been 3 years.

She keeps trying to say she's "trying" but I know she's not and when I confronted her about it, she defaulted to "my beliefs are different," not "I will try harder."

She's never going to gender me properly and I can't stand being dragged back.
Whelp, I let her know I am having GRS next month.

Because why not just lay all the cards on the table.

Hey y'all!

So, trans kids are under attack. Last year I got the idea to purchase and promote girl scout cookies from trans/non-binary girl scouts.

This year, I have two! Zero and Madilyn. I will post links separately. If you have a trans scout, feel free to post here as well!
Here is Zero's scout cookie link. They have 192 of 400 cookie packages left to go as of the time I'm writing this!

Here is Madilyn's link! They have 300/300 cookie packages left to go as of the time I'm writing this!

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.
In just 24 hours, we have been subject to so many bills seeking to ban our existence, remove us from public space, and detransition us...

Indiana wants to make it illegal for us to enter restrooms:

Indiana also wants to protect parents who misgender their kids:
