This is causing a huge population to be cut off from their medications and I am getting so many DMs right now asking how to get it. This is trans adults, y'all.

For months, people have asked me, "Is it safe? Where should I go?" about anti trans laws. I created the anti-trans legislative risk assessment map to help answer that question. This month, a whole new category for Florida. Subscribe to support my work. erininthemorning.com/p/may-anti-tra…

Bunch of bigots added the *community note* citing very biased sources. Fact of the matter is that healthcare for trans people IS settled science and has been for decades.

I’ve had a lot of trans people send me suicide notes, notes feeling they can’t go on, that it feels hopeless, in the last week. Please please stick around. We are going to build a better world and you need to be there to see it.

Companies know the outrage they generate from the far right is good for their brand. Because everyday people are pretty damn accepting and don’t by into homophobia and transphobia. Fuck rainbow capitalism yes, but think of what this says about the broader environment.

The NAACP issued a travel advisory for Florida, joining other civil rights groups in warning potential tourists that recent policies championed by Florida lawmakers are “openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals.” apnews.com/article/florid…

The truth is: removing transgender people from all legal recognition, banning clothing, banning pronouns in schools, banning trans people from their medications, bathrooms, allowing healthcare discrimination, promoting bullying... it is an attempt at eradication.

He claims that trans people are looking for "exceptions" and yet it is his group that is looking for exceptions. They want 1A protections EXCEPT for trans people. They want parental rights EXCEPT for trans people. They want medical freedom EXCEPT for trans people.

Yup. And this is really shows how thin and flimsy the rainbow capitalism support really was. Anyone that is actually supportive would not cave like this, after how the last year, the past few months in particular, have gone.

It's not even June, and companies are already acquiescing to the far right and dropping support of LGBTQ+ people. Rainbow "support" that vanishes at the first gust of fascist wind was never there to begin with. Subscribe to support my work. erininthemorning.com/p/they-never-s…

Anyone falling for the extreme far-right's Target backlash — and framing it as a both-sides debate — are not doing their journalistic duty. They're repeating a harassment campaign that was telegraphed in public months ago. That is not your job as reporters.

Probably not a great sign for the future that people replying to my tweet about the transphobic Target boycott are just scholars very loudly warning us in German.

Happy pride month! There is no human right more fundamental than the right to liberty, the freedom to live as one chooses. If you don't own your life and body completely, you can own nothing. You don't need to understand someone to let them live their life! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 -R

“We take no pleasure in reporting that Cracker Barrel has fallen” might be the funniest sentence ever composed using the English language.

Obtaining gender affirming care is a medical matter no different from any other medical matter. If you wouldn’t say “wait til you’re 18” to antidepressants, knee surgery, or birth control, you should not say it for trans care either. Leave it between doctors and patients.
