Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

A fluffy white cat reclines in a modern white lounge chair, lying on its back with its front paws resting on its belly and back legs stretched out. The cat looks relaxed and content, as if lounging like a person in the sunlight near a window.

Good, I see the council is assembled. We have mews from the outer rim to discuss.

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

I am too, but really, we're lucky to live where we are. We have it better than a lot of people.

This is why I refuse to visit my family in the US. Even a tourist who did everything right was imprisoned, and I won't risk anything happening to my German husband.
