On this #TransDayOfVisibility we have a thread of some pieces we’ve published that we’d love for you to read and share.🧵👇
It's no coincidence that Republican-controlled states that criminalize abortion are also criminalizing gender-affirming care for trans people. And it's only the beginning of their pronatalist white supremacist agenda. From @chgrimaldi

Yesterday, we spent some time perusing all of the stories we’ve published on the fight for abortion and reproductive rights. A theme emerged. 🧵
1/ In the more than 400 stories we've published on the topic over the years, our Cassandra-like contributors have been shouting from the mountaintops that these rights could be stripped away. damemagazine.com/?s=abortion
2/And let’s be clear: it’s not just abortion rights. Today it’s Casey and Roe, but tomorrow it’s Griswold (birth control), then Obergefell (same-sex marriage). The progress we’ve made is actively being chipped away by leaders who prioritize the values of white, cis male supremacy
