U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The β€œT” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here β€” and we always will be.

Research universities are often the largest employers in their region. They are often the primary health care providers to communities. This funding shift will not only reduce US research leadership, it will put working people out of work and reduce healthcare access.

"It's Dr, Actually" - Now available as trans and non-binary pins!

I think a lot of people need a reminder right now that experts know gender isn't binary, and a lot of us need a reminder we're not alone. So please share widely!

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications "How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"
