Yea that happened like a year ago.

A sad but unsurprising study: bullying victimization is associated with more than double the odds of suicide attempts among sexual minority people.
Happy Holidays!
Remember it’s always appropriate on family holidays to take a walk or go on a coffee run solo to have some alone time to destress. ❤️

Thank you! 🙏
Thank you to Fredricka Whitfield and @cnn.com for having me on today to talk about the recent political attacks on gender-affirming medical care for adolescents with gender dysphoria.
Will be on CNN with Fredricka Whitfield in about 15 mins to talk about the recent GOP actions against #trans youth and their families.
