🏳️🌈 As we near the end of #PrideMonth, we are reminded of the trans community's ongoing struggles, especially in the U.S. courts. Earlier this month, we spoke with former Cozen O'Connor member and current Senior Staff Attorney with the ACLU, Harper Seldin. We invite you to watch our conversation and learn more about Harper’s work, what success looks like for him, and what we all can do to advance the rights of Trans Americans during Pride Month and beyond. #lgbtq #aclu #impactlitigation #probono #transrights #cozenoconnor #interviews #pridemonth2024 #changetheworld

The party of “freedom” is systemically persecuting parents and friends of 2SLGBTQIA people. Don’t come to tell me that “not all republicans are like this…” Yes they are. And the BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA people who play their games are the most extremely dangerous lot within the party, as they offer the excuse these white Christian nationalists need to justify theor evil actions. Persecuting a nationally recognized organization excercising its right to freely assemble is unconstitutional, but who said they care a bit about the Constitution? All they care about is the erasure of people who do not comform to their very narrow ideologies. Why bring “politics” into a LinkedIn thread? Because these state actions by politicians are just blueprints of what they are planning on doing come Janaury 2025. In fact, it is all layed out in their Christofascis manifesto, Project 2025 (really, google it and understand what they want to do.) If you haven’t raised your voice to condemnd these actions, you are part of the problem. And of you are still living in denial that our minoritized communities are not really subjects of systemic persecution in the USA, there’s nothing I can do to help you understand.
📢 LAWSUIT FILED 📢 PFLAG National received civil demands from the Texas Attorney General’s Office to turn over documents, communications, and information related to PFLAG National and the organization’s work helping families with transgender adolescents. This is a blatant abuse of the office’s authority — and we’re fighting back. We’re going to court with the ACLU of Texas, the ACLU, and Transgender Law Center to challenge this outrageous and unconstitutional demand. Let’s be clear: PFLAG members’ rights to join together for mutual support, community, and encouragement have never been more critical, and we will fight to protect them.

Many trans people have made important contributions to society. For example, Ben Barres was a ground-breaking neuroscientist who also used his experiences as a trans man to highlight sexism in science. (Accessibility: Picture of Ben Barres in a lab.

Award-Winning Transgender Educator & Historian | Keynote Speaker | Host of the Trans* Lesson Plan Podcast
📚 Before you dive into the amazing history of the transgender community, it's super helpful to get a grasp on broader historical research and general research methods. Knowing the context and frameworks used in historical studies helps you get a clearer and more accurate understanding of transgender history. By getting comfy with these research basics, you can better appreciate the struggles, wins, and everyday lives of transgender people throughout time. This way, you avoid mixing up timelines and get a deeper, more respectful look at the past. Transgender history is packed with awesome stories and key moments that have shaped where we are today. To really do these stories justice, we need to put in a bit of groundwork and understand the bigger historical picture they fit into. This prep not only boosts our knowledge but also builds greater empathy and connection to transgender experiences. So, before jumping into transgender history, take some time to read up on general historical research. It's a crucial first step to becoming a more informed and thoughtful ally. Let's honor our past by doing our homework first! 🏳️⚧️✨ #TransLessonPlan #TransHistory #ResearchMatters #KnowYourHistory #ReadToLearn #EmpathyThroughKnowledge #TransLessonPlan #TransgenderHistory #LGBTQHistory #LGBTQ #Trans #BlackQueer #BlackTrans #LGBTQBooks #TransBooks
