Last Chance to Register for Tonight's Trans Ally Event - Join Us Now!


Hi Reader,

Our goal was to have more folks register than there are anti-trans bills and WE DID IT! Let's keep this momentum going!

If you haven't registered or want to invite a friend/coworker/lover/gym buddy/dental hygienist it's not too late!

Busy tonight? THERE WILL BE A RECORDING!

Come for a 1.5-hour webinar on topics including

  • Real-world implications of anti-trans legislation
  • Responses to arguments the opposition makes
  • Talking points for personal and professional life
  • Handling misinformation
  • Taking on emotional labor for trans folks

The event will be hosted on Zoom webinar and attendees will receive a PDF file including a fact sheet and resources.

A recording will be available to those who register for 30 days.

Invite someone! Spread The Word!

We need as many allies as we can get right now. For Trans Week of Visibility & Action It would be a huge help if you could send this email to someone who might be interested, share on slack or internal listservs, or post about this event on social!

Take care,

If you’re a parent, educator, or ally, you already know that trans youth deserve so much more than fear and to be used as political pawns.

Hello Reader Since January 20, scarcely a day has passed without a parent of a transgender child asking me whether it's time to leave the country. My response has stayed mostly the same: everyone’s risk tolerance is different. Everyone’s financial capacity to make that kind of move is different. And I don’t believe we’re in a full state of emergency just yet. The inevitable follow-up question is: How will we know when we are? The truth is, I don’t know.
