Sen. Doug Mastriano introduces ‘Two Gender Protection Act’ - Philadelphia Gay News On Feb. 4, PA Sen. Doug Mastriano introduced the Two Gender Protection Act, which was referred to the Senate State Government Committee.

The memo says, in part, “My proposal will require the Pennsylvania State government to use the term ‘sex’ instead of ‘gender,’ and will require that all state government-issued identification documents, accurately reflect the holder’s biological sex as identified at birth.”

@fetterman.senate.gov take notes from AOC please.

🎉Celebrating International Women’s Day in the queerest way! There was a time in this country this wouldn’t be allowed. Many places in the world it’s still not allowed. And there are those who wish we still couldn’t and wouldn’t. But we can and we will!

Iowa senator condemns GOP in fiery speech over trans civil rights repeal: ‘Shame on all of you Christians’ (exclusive) State Sen. Tony Bisignano doubled down on calling out Republican lawmakers for stripping away civil rights protections for transgender people in an interview with The Advocate.

“Transgender people need champions and voices and not people voting against people because they’re afraid—they need somebody willing to take it on the chin, and I’m willing to do that,” Iowa State Sen. Tony Bisignano told me.

Your smithy, Gemma, will be hammering away at the forge for you in just 3 days! #MHWilds

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.”

I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin.

Still. I am very happy it’s back.

Sometimes you find a love that heals everything the others broke and absolutely lights up your life. When you do be sure to pet it and say “pspspssss,” then take it home with you, and give it food and water.

Easy. Because the billionaires who want these policies are all in charge of the media who is spreading the misinformation

OK, there we go!

We could’ve had Tim 😭

🫡 aye aye!

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

If you're feeling despair it's because you have a moral compass. It means you're not empty on the inside - that you nurse hope and a sense of justice in a cage next to your heart. You're one of my people and I'll stand with you. There are more of us than they want you to believe. Hold fast.

I wish I could make it to any of the February events 😭 all of these sound so fun!

We need to shift our messaging from "Democrats SHOULD talk about..." to just SAYING IT ourselves (I'm guilty too). Don't lament the asymmetry in the media; we already know the media would destroy Biden if he blamed a plane crash on some amorphous framework like DEI. Instead, start making the case:

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates.

Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up.

And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
