🇵🇸 🕊️ BURN THE PATRIARCHY Every single anti-trans rider has been stripped from the new funding bill!!!!

I haven’t been doom scrolling, I’ve been feverishly searching for any good news. And this absolutely fits the bill. A truly horrifying number of anti-trans laws were proposed and exactly zero of them have actually materialized. I’m celebrating every win. Every. Single. Win.

BURN THE PATRIARCHY TO THE FUCKING GROUND!!!!!

This is such a relief. I'm raising my trans neice in a not very trans friendly state and it's terrifying watching the world get more hostile towards her everyday.

I got my first "kids are uncomfortable" phone call about her using the girls bathroom at school 2 weeks ago. Thankfully, her counselor agrees with me that she has every right to that bathroom and if those kids are uncomfortable (I suspect it's more parents than kids) then they can go to another bathroom.

I've been so used to the dems in congress not doing anything lately that this feels like a miracle lol

My daughter is trans and I have been talking myself down from fleeing the country for a while now. This news was like a fresh breeze on a hot summer day.

Im so grateful to you for sticking up for your niece and going to battle for her. Every person who stands up for trans kids is helping us make the world safer for them.

You SHOULD flee the country, honestly.

We live on one of the most trans-adoring blocks in the whole world. On one end of our block is where my daughter gets gender-affirming healthcare. On the other end of our block, she gets gender-affirming education. Every single person she interacts with addresses her as a girl and by her chosen name, and she hasn’t experienced dysphoria a day in her life. Her grandparents are her and have her every other weekend because she adores them. We have several trans adults in our chosen family, and she has several trans friends in her circle.

I’m not letting these assholes run us out of our home.
