It's depressing when you have to go from one court battle to another court battle. You finally reach the highest court in the land. And, the highest court in the land says "Meh, we don't feel like it.". #transgenderrights #transkids #transgenderveterans

If like me, your interests include both tanks and LGBT rights, you might like to take a look at this (small) section of my RedBubble shop.
I'm particularly proud of the "Protect trans kids" design.

A stranger complimented me on my protect trans kids t-shirt today. I'm not very good at responding to compliments, but it meant a lot to me.
I'm going to try and compliment other people on their clothes more often. Especially if they're showing support for marginalised communities.

Have you ever noticed how the tRumpublicans & Conservative Christians are obsessed with Sex? They think that Trans people will sexually assault them in the bathroom or locker room. They believe that Trans people are sexual deviants. But, it's always a tRumpublican politician or Conservative Pastor that is guilty of such crimes. #transgenderrights #transkids #TransgenderVeterans #lgbtqia

The Trump Administration tells transgender people that they are lying to a corrupt federal government for being who we are. I say "I know who I am better than you know yourselves.". Two can play at that game. The entire tRump Administration is unqualified to run the government and COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED TO TELL TRANSGENDER PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE. #impeachtrumpnow #transgenderrights #transkids #dismantletheheritagefoundation #lgbtqia+

According to the state of Iowa. Transgender people have zero rights to protect them. Basically, in the state of Iowa. A transgender person isn't a human being. #transgender #transgenderrights #transkids #transgenderveterans #lgbtqia+

The ONLY way you can have a trans adult is if they were a trans kid. (Though, not everyone realizes this when we’re kids, thanks to repression. Everyone is valid, regardless).

Dr Helen Webberley (GenderGP) has referred Hilary Crass to the GMC. Her statement on why is concise and perfectly phrased. Support her, she's doing good things to protect trans kids and the LGBT+ community as a whole. The right wing are doing their level best to stir up the same kind of moral panic and folk demonisation that we had in the 80s. We are all going to be branded paedophiles for supporting frightened, bewildered children, mark my words. #LGBT #TransKids

Went into a corner shop to get myself a sandwich the other day, and saw a Daily Mail on the news stand with this headline: "LABOUR OPENS DOOR TO TRANS CHILDREN IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS"
I thought, well, that's pretty optimistic of them, but we can hope!

I loved being able to talk about that on the airwaves while playing #DavidBowie's song #RebelRebel! I hope more #GBLTQ and #TransKids know that they aren't alone, and DESERVE LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!

A cult like #CalvaryChapel tried to rope me in when I was a kid. Imagine making innocent children think they are sinners and are going to HELL! That is just terrorism! No wonder they hate #TransKids! Who else do they hate?!!!
"We believe that all people are sinners by nature and willfully disobey our Creator. Therefore, we are under condemnation..."

On the 19th of December the QLD government extended their pause on blockers and GAHT for trans youth despite the contradictory advice of their own independent review. Clearly they are acting on ideology and not the public interest. #trans #transrights #protecttranskids #transkids #auspol #lgb

So, I briefly worked with Wayne Maines, #NicoleMaines' dad. I remember him telling me about his daughter, and how before Nicole's transition, #TransPeople weren't on his radar and was a bit taken aback. But being a good dad, he fully embraced her, and became one of her staunchest defenders. A class act!
Looking back on the Maine Supreme Court transgender bathroom case
by Jackie Mundry
May 28, 2025"In January 2014, the Maine Supreme Court ruled in favor of Nicole Maines. At the time, she was in the fifth grade in Orono and identified as #transgender.
"She and her family say the school administration, her classmates and their parents were all aware that Maines was trans, and because of that, she had no problem using the bathroom that aligned with her gender identity.
" 'When I would introduce themselves to myself, I would say, 'Hi, I'm Wyatt, I'm a boy who wants to be a girl. What's your name?' And they'd say, 'Hi, I'm Ryan, I like trucks.' And it was on the same level of mundanity,' Maines said, describing her time in school.
"One day, that changed, and she was not able to use the girls bathroom anymore after another male student followed her into that bathroom.
" 'I went into the bathroom with another girlfriend of mine, and he followed me, and he didn't say anything to me, and he just kind of, like, made prolonged eye contact with me as he went into the second stall, and he use the bathroom, and it was like I was glued to that spot,' Maines said.
" 'I redid fifth and sixth grade, being there to make sure that she was OK. She never had a normal childhood,' Maines' mom, Kelly Maines, said reflecting on how much time she spent in the school trying to protect Nicole.
" 'It got so bad that Kelly had to quit her job at the University of Maine, and we moved her and the kids to Portland, and they lived in hiding in America,' Maines' dad, Wayne Maines, added.
"Eventually, Kelly contacted the #MaineHumanRightsCommission, and a lawsuit was filed. While the precedent was set in Maine more than a decade ago, the Maines family is concerned about upcoming legislation.
" 'Freedom matters, and they're taking freedoms away,' Wayne said.
"The state Legislature's Judiciary Committee is considering several pieces of legislation that would not allow transgender students to play sports with students who align with their gender identity or use the bathrooms or changing rooms of their choice.
[...]
"There is also a proposal to remove #GenderIdentity as a protected class from the #MaineHumanRightsAct.
"Maines lives in California and is pursuing an acting career. Her message to #TransKids is clear.
" 'Do not give in to their hatred,' she said.
"All of the bills looking to change the transgender rules in Maine are still waiting to be voted out of the Judiciary Committee. Once that happens, they will get a full vote, and likely a debate, on the House and Senate floors."

If you have kids, like I have a 14yr old, how do you talk about the global situation with them?
My kid is not watching news at all and is oblivious to the situation. They don't live with me, so we have little time to talk. They face more than one oppressive component in their life and I struggle to determine what I can do or educate them on to make them better prepared, resilient and radicalised without traumatising or harming them.
I would appreciate your advice, from whoever parent reads this.

If you want a great way to support #transkids #transyouth #transfolks consider supporting your local #rollerderby.
I'm full of joy when I'm in the thick of roller derby community. I love seeing these young people supported, loved and empowered to be themselves. Everyone is encouraged & included.
What makes it wonderful for #transgender youth makes it great for #cisgender youth as well. Y'all, the kids don't care. They aren't fussed by gender unless we (adults) tell them to be.
