1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare.
It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process.
My fact check of the Trump HHS review.

I created an Affirmation Sration at work, where anyone can take a post-it note with something affirming written on it. I then get the benefit of writing affirmations on post-it notes every day.
By far the most taken post it has been: "I am amazing"
This is what billions spent in propaganda to eradicate the trans community around the globe has gotten them. Multiple billionaires, political parties, and countries are fixated on eradicating the trans community to scapegoat us as a political weapon to attain more power.
I dunno if you prefer Youtube, but all of TM is posted there.
California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."
1. Six years ago, during the hardest winter of my life, I found myself again. A month later, I found myself again, under a cherry blossom tree.
On Trans Day of Visibility this year, we travel through our toughest winter.
But we know the promise of spring.

Happens to me too. I work like crazy, then inevitably when I finally have time off, my body completely breaks down. Sorry you're experiencing it!

When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”
If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.
Now I'm
Where I want to be,
And who I want to be,
And doing what I
Always said I would,
And yet I feel
I haven't won at all.
Running for my life,
And never looking back
In case there's someone
Right behind to shoot me down
And say he always knew I'd fall.
Chess lyrics hitting hard today.
The US is no longer safe for foreign nationals.
Do not come here.
You risk being arbitrarily detained, tortured, and put into solitary confinement without due process.

Movie you've watched more than 6 times, gifs only:
This point raises such a good comparison. In previous years, Andrew Tate moved to Romania so he could avoid the law in the UK and the US. Then Romania began prosecuting him, and he fled to the US. What does that say about the degradation of the threat of law in the US under Trump?
The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit
I LOVED the Dear America series as a kid. They did a few with boys too. Those and the American Girl Doll books were so influential on me growing up.

"Valentine, being with you is like 6 of the best - I always want more."

I vote Yes. 🤭
Very excited for a party this weekend. Made my own spanko valentines which was a fun and engaging project to keep my mind off the world. I hope my friends like them!

Wow! Inspiring news: The site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria riot has been inducted into the National Register of Historic Places (don’t tell the White House). Huge congrats to Susan Stryker - the historian who unearthed and elevated this important event in trans history. FYI: @altnps.bsky.social
That one is emotional for me as a transman as well. <3
