Our Executive Director Abigail Swetz, testifying last night in support of trans youth:

“Dear trans kids, there are so many of us in this state who love you exactly as you are and exactly as you are becoming."

I really should not have listened to them, but they were all at the beginning of hearing and I didn’t want to miss supporting real people and their stories.

So brave and eloquently spoken. They will not silence us. Thank you for being there.

@fairwisconsin.bsky.social yes Brian!! We want to see Trans joy! Thank you for bringing honor to those we have tragically lost here in Wisconsin.

You are so beautiful and brave. Thank you for testifying! Truly so glad you are here today to share your story. Love you!

Gender affirming care is health care that saves lives. I am so glad so many showed up today. Thank you! Love you!!

I am so glad you shared your story. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for waiting all day to talk. So powerful. #wisconsin #transjoy

Such powerful words, and we are so grateful they were here to give such a wonderful testimony!

Testimony from a community member: “This is life-saving care, and I am living proof of that.”

Dear parents, I love you, thank you for showing up, and thank you for mentioning how an already vulnerable group is at risk for showing up. Stay safe. Love you.

Thank you for showing up for our beautiful kids of Wisconsin. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans kids deserve to live their authentic and wonderful selves! We love you! We will continue to fight!

@fairwisconsin.bsky.social what a brave and beautiful woman, thank you for sharing your story! #transjoy

Big day for binders. This is unconditional love. 🫶🏻

So many brave parents! 🫶🏻

Testimony from a community member and faith leader: “We affirm from a spiritual and moral perspective that doctors need to be able to provide life-saving care.”

Testimony from a community member: “I have a trans child and a gender non-conforming child. I have listened to our children and their needs, and when we have questions, we turn to our doctors. You should not be involved.”

Sending you the biggest hug!

Thankfully we are finally seeing real parents and people who love Trans people in their lives. Sending love back to you!!!!

Your fire is what I feel in my heart. Thank you for calling them out!! Coffee, pizza, ice cream you name it its on me!

🫶🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻Yesss!!! Thank you!

Preach!!! Omg, I would love to buy you coffee or tea. Thank you for being so brave.

I love you. This is heroic and brave to speak so loudly in a room full of hate. #transjoy Thank you for sharing and I am so grateful you’re here to share your story!!!!!

Please can I buy you coffee or tea? I would love to be in a space with you. Thank you for your bravery. #transjoy #wisconsin

Thank Dr. Marsh, so beautifully put and what a testament to true care and compassion.

Testimony from a community member on the rights of trans youth: "Decisions regarding gender-affirming care for minors must be made thoughtfully, lovingly, and ethically by
those who are in the arena—by transgender children, their parents or guardians, and their medical teams."

Girl be quiet.

I listened to people who most likely don’t know a single Trans person talk about their expertise on why gender affirming healthcare is wrong. This is my reality as a parent. The amount of psychological distress this hearing is causing me a cis person who loves a trans person.

Currently sobbing watching Rep Lisa Subek speak up for those in opposition of the bill. Thank you!! These are the real humans affected by bill.

My hero. Fuck yes call them out!!!! #fairwisconsin #wisconsin #protectranskids
