On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives tragically lost to anti-Trans violence. Anti-Trans violence doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it’s fueled by harmful legislation, discriminatory policies, and systemic inequities that threaten the safety of Trans folks.

Crisis call volume has increased 700% at The Trevor Project. Trans Lifeline has seen a 300% increase. Consider donating to either or both of these organizations to help save LGBTQ youth.

i think we need to be meaner. i’m tired of tiptoeing. if you voted for him you’re a bad person. people who voted for harris are better than you. they’re smarter than you. if you voted for him you lack empathy, you’re unintelligent, you’re weird, and you’re a bad person. period.
