1/ 🧵You can guess what the feed under an article about a new OH bathroom law looked like: equal parts misinformation & transphobia. We got involved to counter that. Here’s a sampling of #IAmHereUS comments that helped displace the yuck.

3/🧵"The whole smear to ban her only serves to prop up racism and sexism. All these commenters intentionally misidentifying her gender and sex are outing themselves as people willing to weaponize the patriarchy to control women’s bodily autonomy, self determination, and worth. #IAmHereUS”

Trans rights are human rights. This should be accepted as basic and non-partisan, along with other human rights and civil rights.
And yes, we’re here to celebrate the small wins.

“And the LGBTQ community is even more frightened. Even those who have documentation in their actual genders are scared, and those who don't are even more frightened.
What purpose does it serve… besides…encouraging racism, sexism, and lots of other abuse of our fellow humans?!”
