"I find solace in the sweetness of building solidarity and action. I’m excited to witness the ways my community continues to harness love, joy and determination in the defense of our rights in this country.” truthout.org/articles/pride…

“Being able to see yourself in the mirror the way you see yourself in your head, and the way you feel, is very affirming. And when you take away that affirmation, it makes the days just harder and harder." #HealthcareIsAHumanRight 19thnews.org/2023/06/everyt…

We mourn two cis individuals, Michelle Peacock and Colin Smith, who died at the hands of anti-trans violence. Transphobia is deadly, and it threatens those of us who aren’t trans, too. them.us/story/two-cisg…

“I had to learn how to pour back into myself first and keep my cup full and overfull, so I can assist others. And that also looks like taking a step back and doing things that I love." 19thnews.org/2023/06/black-…

We're proud to partner with The Puget Sound Pronouns on their second-annual Youth Softball Skills Clinic! Kids will learn how to hit, throw, catch, field, and most importantly, be a good friend and teammate. Cost is $30 per kid, and 100% of the proceeds are donated to GJL!

"[W]e believe that everyone has the right to feel safe and secure in their own bodies and communities. We can work together to make that a reality for more people in our community and beyond.” translash.org/in-florida-tra…

"I would love to be able to stay and feel like I can fight and help turn back what has been created. I also want to live. I also want to feel safe." translash.org/relief-loss-an…

"[F]ascist argumentation consistently uses blatant, ridiculous distortion, and, worse, that this tactic is effective even with many people who consider themselves trans allies." truthout.org/articles/terfs…

"Be proud of your baby. You taught them — even unconsciously — to be their own person and follow their own dreams.” buzzfeed.com/natashajokic1/…

"[O]ne of the largest medical associations in the entire world says ‘We stand behind trans people. We want to make sure that not only do they have access to healthcare, but that the people that are supporting them are also safe.’” #HealthcareIsAHumanRight them.us/story/american…

Anti-trans bills affect and attack intersex people, too. It is a human right to have freedom over our own bodies and gender expression. When legislators threaten this right, they threaten us all! #TransIntersexSolidarity

All people deserve bodily autonomy. When trans and intersex people are under attack, we must band together! #TransIntersexSolidarity. Learn more at linktr.ee/TransIntersexS…

ᴀ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱ ᴀꜰꜰɪʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ I am trans and I am the main character of my own story. I am trans and I am not seeking cis validation. I am trans and I am whole, and I am beautiful, deserving of love, safety, my dreams, my life, and my future.

“Just joy—not only for the people who are with us but also for the people who are above us, too.” them.us/story/transmis…
