I'm seeing a lot of far-right misinformation about a CPS case in Montana, and I just want to note a few things:

(1) CPS cases are private to protect the child. I won't comment on details of the case, but every indication I've received is that CPS followed proper procedures. (2) Gender-affirming care is not banned in Montana, as the article (& @GovGianforte) claim.

SB99 was blocked by the courts for being discriminatory. Claims that the child was taken out of state to get gender-affirming care are untrue, as that care could've been received in MT.

Late last night, the House adjourned Sine Die—meaning the 68th legislative session has come to a close.

As soon as we adjourned, I returned to my seat in the People's House to celebrate the work my colleagues & I did this session, and begin discussing what comes next. Also thank you to everyone who sent flowers.

While the GOP's undemocratic censure kept me from my seat in the House for the last week of the session, your love & support filled that room—and for that I am so incredibly grateful.

My vaginoplasty was a success! 🏳️‍⚧️ Thank you everyone for all the support & kind words.

This'll be an ongoing thread about my experience/recovery, both as a resource to other trans folks, and for anyone who wants to learn a bit about the procedure. Kind/Genuine questions welcome. [Day 0, pre-Op]

I showed up 90 min prior to surgery for paperwork. Then I had my vitals taken, and got my IV. I then met with my surgeons & anesthesiologist.

I did well until 10 min prior to surgery, when I got lonely/scared and started crying a lot.
