Kristal Lynn

Who here is inclined to agree?

(Thanks 🥰)

Not a great paraphrasing of the conversation - perhaps a misunderstanding? I agreed with the OP on both parts with my initial response - same concerns, same realization - we can't invalidate our own. It was never to "fire" one of our own. Ew. No.

Kristal Larson wins Avon Township clerk seat, one of Illinois' first non-judicial trans candidates to be elected Kristal Larson has made history in Hainesville. The next Avon Township clerk is one of the state's first non-judicial trans candidates to be elected.

You assume I am uninformed.

I represent 67,000 in my district and over 700k in my county as one of the 100 or so trans* folks who actually hold office. I coached three new trans* candidates for the next cycle.

Believe me, I get the responsibility we hold very well.

Blocked.

It feels soft considering the impact was not only her, but all gender non-conforming persons who may visit the Capital.

And yes, I am allowed to be upset and feel betrayed while simultaneously not demanding anything other than the right to voice those feelings without being told how to.

To be fair, you provided a headline with zero context or source.

Yes - she was removed from session. The headline appeared to misrepresent that action. That action was despicable in all ways.

Also of note, @zoandbehold.bsky.social is still a Montana representative. That is a misleading headline.

Obedience without questioning or expressing concern is contrary to a free society. That's not just a trans* issue, it's a human one.

If there was a statement of "I object and will fight to overturn this," then fine. But to say nothing? Nope.

By saying "Sure, you can marginalized my rights. Don't worry about it," she effectively gave the GOP power and a talking point for every other attack on the trans* community moving forward.

Also, its impossible to be effective when compromising with what amounts to unyielding terrorist behaviors.

This - is my SPICESTICK!

If they ask for your location in DM's before they send dick pics, it's prolly a scam.

That's not an invitation.

I had the same feeling and the same realization. I only hope her decision doesn't hurt our whole community by being compliant without so much as a condemnation. Not a good look tbh

55 - only a few years off. 🤷‍♀️

Love my Senator!

Feel that pain. I end up with either Crystal or Krystal.

The best is when I get all three spellings in the same email. 🤦‍♀️

It's probably because they assume all 1.6 million of us perform survival sex work at the Capitol and won't report it when they force us to give blowjobs in the stalls.

I literally spit out my coffee! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏳️‍🌈✊️

At least Matt Gaetz learned to pull out...

Tonight over 100 people stood together, a community of both trans* and allied identities, told the stories of those we lost, told the stories of those still here, and together let out a collective emptying of emotional grief that has been bottled up since the election.

Say Their Names.

Mike Johnson bans trans women from using restrooms at the Capitol on Trans Day of Remembrance - LGBTQ Nation Johnson cited "scripture" when explaining his position on the matter.

Happy Transgender Day of Remembrance from the US House of Representatives. And they are just getting started....

Fox News Headline for 11am EST Segment

"Gay Furry hactivists take over Jewish space laser causing bomb cylone in the Pacific NW."

This is what happens when your party platform is built on hate.

Laken Riley has dominated the headlines recently. Where was this outrage for Pauly Likens - a 14 yr old trans girl from Pennsylvania who was ripped apart from her family, brutally murdered and dismembered?

I expect genital screenings to be conducted on EVERY member of Congress each time they walk in a bathroom. After all, there's no telling when some Congressperson will just drop by their local grade school for free lunch and gender affirmation surgery before returning to work later that day.

Def a 7. 🏳️‍🌈😢

“I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports.”

You should have stopped at the fucking comma.

One of the hardest parts of my job is preparing for our annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. Reading the tragic stories of each person our community has lost in the past twelve months is f***ng heart wrenching.
