I made this for ig to share action items folks can take to advocate for trans rights in the U.S., where lots of anti-trans legislation and mandates are currently being considered all across the country, many of which are especially harmful for trans youth. Do your part!
hey! if you’ve read all my posts, then you know im a trans man, and a gay one at that! in addition to that, im mentally ill. I moved into my biological fathers house a few months ago, but by December I need to move back out, which is all fine and dandy, except that i live in an incredibly expensive city and don’t get paid a living wage.
while i don’t have much to offer, if you’re willing and able to donate i can write you a poem or short story about a topic of your choosing or will sell nsft content!
my PayPal is [email protected], and I’ll update when I make a venmo and/or cashapp! anything helps to keep another queer person off the streets.

So to sum up: CT and DC have passed laws making it illegal to extradite someone to another state if they are being charged in that other state for crimes pertaining to abortion or trans health care, and makes it legal to sue and get your money back if you are targeted by a TX-style “bounty” law. DC also includes “crimes” of consensual adult sex, gay and interracial marriage and cohabitation and providing or using contraception.

On the other hand… holy shit, someone fucking did something.
Someone fucking did something real.
Okay folx so… this kind of tags has been fairly common on this post.
I’m glad people are checking, but! If you didn’t know, this is what it looks like now if you post a link to Twitter on Tumblr. And!
Here are the screenshots of CT’s amendment. The important stuff in the 2nd screenshot is what’s underlined. There is too much text for alt text, it’s on the link above, but the tl;dr is “it covers abortion and gender-affirming health care.” It has been passed and signed by the Governor as detailed on the ct.gov link:
So yes, this is very very real, and Tumblr changed how they display Twitter links - the thread had all of this info in it except for the link to The Hill. :)
