I was home with a cold last week, so happy belated #TransgenderAwarenessWeek to all! And again appreciating all the support I get at The New School for fluid gender expression!

Good morning chatterers 💋

“Following the results of the US elections, which brought a stream of Republican victories, there had been “a lot of soul-searching… within the Democratic Party”, said Psaki, now a talk-show host on MSNBC.”

“It’s transgender awareness month. The month was created to help increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face. This week, we’re focusing on the trans community in Florida in a series we’re calling Beyond Gender. We’re looking at issues from healthcare to housing and jobs. But also, the joy and resiliency of the community that helps them overcome obstacles.”
“Rep. Nancy Mace, Republican of South Carolina, said on Monday that she will be introducing a measure to ban transgender women from using biological women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.
Her announcement comes as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride prepares to take office as the first transgender person elected to Congress.”

“Texas wasted no time escalating its attacks on transgender people as the state GOP prefiled 32 anti-trans bills on the first day of the 2025 legislative session’s prefiling period.”
“I have a confession to make: I’m the reason the Republicans won both the Presidency and Congress. It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me. I’m very sorry about this and I promise to exist less next time.”

“For transgender Americans, it’s personal: There is palpable fear of potential Trump administration steps to further marginalize them. But there is also a spirit of resilience – a determination to persevere in seeking acceptance and understanding.”
“Like many, I was heartbroken at this year’s election results. I was so confident in the Harris campaign despite my worry that Trump might win. Over and over again my friends and I convinced each other that everything would be fine; that there was no way he would win again. Unfortunately, we were wrong.”
“What cis people don’t understand is that even the most basic trans healthcare is basically magic. Since starting HRT, my hormone levels are a lot closer to an average cis woman than an average man.”

“These are the scenes captured by nine transgender and nonbinary people across the US in the weeks leading up to the election. CNN sent them disposable cameras to document the precious moments that define their lives, even amid a conservative push to limit the ways trans people can show up in the doctor’s office, at school and on the playing field.”

“In the wake of the election, some have said that Democrats need to talk less about transgender people. That’s exactly wrong: they, and we, need to talk more — more about real trans lives, real science, and real values, and less about disinformation and lies.”
