For #TransDayOfVisiblity , I wanted to share some knitting patterns, projects, and yarns in the colors of the trans pride flag that I gathered as an ally.

For those curious, here’s my #TDOV speech:
I have a message for the trans youth who are here today: you have a future. You have a future where you will be able to live, to love, and to thrive. Each and every one of you have a future where you will get to be your whole, beautiful self, and shine so brightly no one will be able to deny you.
Right about now, you might be rolling your eyes. Not only is that sappy as heck, but Joscelyn, look around and read the room: they are trying to make it so we cannot even survive until tomorrow, much less the future! They are declaring that they don’t deserve equal rights in schools and public life, that it should be a crime to even tell people your name or pronouns, and doing everything they can to stop our trans kids from having equal access to life-saving medical care. So how can I say you have a future?
The reason I know you have a future is because I am standing here right now. As an out and proud trans woman, *I* am the future that seemed impossible to me when I was your age. I am the future of a trans kid who grew up when it was a crime to be gay and trans.
I grew up in the midwest in the 1990s in a state where it was still a crime to be gay. This is blunt, but the only trans people who were visible to me at that time were punchlines and corpses. Hit movies played up the sexual assault of trans women for laughs or used the “shock” and “disgust” at our bodies as a dramatic twist. The only visibility in the news, when there was any, were our siblings who were murdered, such as Brandon Teena and Rita Hester. To dream of being an adult trans woman with a family - it felt like I would need to find a genie in a bottle or a magical potion because it was impossible to me.
But I’m here to declare that we, as trans people, do the impossible every single dang day. When the days ahead get hard, remind yourself: we will make the impossible happen, and we will do it together!

If you believe in the First Amendment right to Freedom of Expression, you will stand up and fight for the right of our trans and nonbinary siblings to express themselves freely without fear of persecution or worse - death.
If you call yourself an ally to the trans community, it is important for you to stand up and fight for the right of our most vulnerable siblings to exist.
The time is now!
Sending love to all my Trans family and friends on this Transgender Day of Visibility ...and every other day of the year. Whether you're out yet or not, you are loved.

Reminder that Bible passages which have been weaponized against homosexuality using bad English translations, were actually about pedophilia. The bigots began to equate pedophilia with homosexuality, which is not accurate to other language translations of the Bible, nor the previous 2,000 years of Christian theology. This lie is completely in line with Conservative ideology, which is always claiming that "queers are targeting our children" and that "drag is pedophilia", and the existence of queer kids is used as proof of "grooming" instead of proof of natural diversity.

Note: This source is the United Methodist Church, a fundamental, traditionalist denomination which used to ban homosexuals from ministry, and only changed their stance last year (though this article is older than that, it has been a point of division in the church for a while). Just to show that this is not biased.

1. My husband went w/ me to his first #TeslaTakedown protest we met someone who was also there for the first time.
2. One of the organizers at the #TeslaTakedown protest noticed my #Moe's bookbag, told me he went to Berkeley, majored in philosophy, and #Spinoza was his favorite, and he talked about the relevance of Spinoza to today's crumbling world.
3. 3 people said they liked my T-shirt, including a woman at H Mart.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Goddess: "He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations."

The overview:
"If passed, Bill 26 will enable government to implement policies to preserve choice for minors identifying as transgender while continuing to refocus the health care system."
The content:
"The prohibition on regulated health professionals performing sex reassignment surgery on minors would come into effect upon Royal Assent.
The prohibition on regulated health professionals prescribing hormone therapies to minors for the treatment of gender dysphoria or gender incongruence would come into effect in early 2025."
Excuse me, what?! In what way does "prohibition" equate to "preservation of choice"?! Only the UCP would boldly make such contradictory statements right next to each other and expect people to believe them.

"We can always tell" used to be a form of hate speech against a tiny group of marginalized people, indicating that they can tell if they are "a boy or a girl".
Now the same hateful ideology has expanded to cover large swaths of the American population, indicating that "they can always tell" who's an "illegal" by the way they look, leading to Indigenous First Nations people being deported from their homeland as Mexican immigrants, and tattoo artists being labeled as gang members, and therefore "terrorists", for their skin art.
This expansion of hateful ideology of course, should come as no surprise to anyone. That is why you cannot allow hate to live, no matter if it affects you or not. Soon enough, it'll hit your friends, your family, and yourself.

“I am transgender. I know we’re not all transgender here, but by the power invested in me by absolutely nobody, I declare all cisgender people here today to be honorary trans for the day.” — Chloe Schwenke
