I got to rant on racism, patriarchy, and overemphasis on the nuclear family to @rollingstone.com to defend Cardi B, who's being criticized with the classic attacks on Black mothers. Maybe the problem isn't unwed pregnancies its systemic racism & EVERYTHING ELSE!

Honored to be one of the queer activists depicted with @chosenfamilylaw.bsky.social. My usual paid corporate pride talks dried up this year. We pivoted to speaking at drag shows & tabling to spread the word about how to protect each other. It was incredible, better.
We WILL take care of us always.❤️🔥
We’ve been receiving questions about updating gender markers on passports & our analysis of the situation is available here: www.chosenfamilylawcenter.org/gender-markers-faq

Updated guidance from the ACLU just came out for transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and intersex folks seeking accurate passports.

No matter what the courts say, we are not going anywhere. Our fight continues.

Graphic with an image of Sonia Sotomayor that reads:"By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."
Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution.
We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.
Today, we’re focused on remembrance, reflection — and resistance.
June 12 marks nine years since the Pulse nightclub tragedy, a dark reminder of the ugliness & hate endured by LGBTQIA+ people.

URGENT! The "nonprofit killer bill" is being voted on in House Ways & Means at 2p today (Tues). The bill gives the government sweeping power to strip 501(c)(3) status from any organization — no due process, no trial, just a designation.
Nonprofits are the heart of the resistance. PLS CALL & SHARE!
URGENT call to action! Please make a quick call now (319-313-7674) to tell your representatives to vote NO on the nonprofit killer provision of this bill.
It takes 10 minutes to call and you'll automatically be connected to your representatives. Please speak up and share this post!
