Welcome to #TransTuesday!
This week we discuss something super important for a lot of trans folks, and yet it so very often goes south and impacts us in so many ways:
CIS SPOUSAL AND PARTNER SUPPORT DURING TRANSITION.
Let's talk about what it looks like, and why it's so important... and what happens when we don't get it.
CIS FRIENDS I NEED YOU TO SHARE THIS WITH *YOUR* CIS FRIENDS.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone. I spent over 6 months writing and rewriting this article that I just published. Most of that time was spent debating whether or not to publish it.
I'm finally coming out; I'm trans. I hope this article helps.

Coming Out as Trans
I am publicly announcing that I am transgender. I have experienced gender dysphoria for almost ten years, but I have found a label that I feel comfortable with now.TheEvilSkeleton

If you are a transphobe, you can at least be honest enough to admit it.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! I’ve talked so many times about how trans people and cis people really aren’t all that different, but there’s one way most cis people never realize that may just blow your mind. Strap in for CIS PEOPLE GET GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE TOO.
This one is VITAL for cis people to see. Cis friends, please boost this thread! We REALLY need cis folks to understand what's going on here.

Welcome to #TransTuesday!
This week’s topic is vital to trans people being seen and treated equally by society, and it’s just as important for cis people to understand.
Time to root out the darkness within as we combat INTERNALIZED TRANSPHOBIA.
This involves discussing ways we may not be kind to ourselves or others. Please read the whole thing before getting angry about it. This is important and we need to talk about it.

Gender-affirming care—for ADULTS—is now predictably under attack in #Texas. This is part of a Republican plan of genocide underway against #trans people. We need cis allies to be loud and angry on our behalf. Pay attention, this doesn't end here or with us:

All Republicans voted against it.

Utah Republicans Exclude Cis Teen Breast Implants From Trans Care Ban
In current legislative fights over gender affirming care, it is clear that Republicans only intend to target transgender people. This amendment vote proves it.Erin Reed (Erin In The Morning)
A new anti-trans bill in West Virginia would ban "transgender exposure to minors" as "obscene matter."
It would add to a law with a 5 year prison term, and to ALL laws around minors in WV.
It must not pass.
