Gender affirming care saved my life. Im incredibly proud and thankful to be a transgender woman.

Multiple judges have struck down Trump’s Executive Order banning gender-affirming care, yet Children's Hospital LA continues to deny puberty blockers and hormone therapy for new trans patients under 19. They have also stopped performing surgeries for all trans people under 19. This is wrong and illegal. Reach out to CHLA’s Office of Patient Experience to let them know you stand with gender affirming care • [email protected] • 323-361-4682 Call the CA Attorney General • 1-800-952-5225 (option 7) Call the CA Civil Rights Department • 800-884-1684 UNSURE OF WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOU CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL? Here is a simple, easy script: Hello, my name is [Your Namel, and I am a concerned Iresident of California/community member!. I’m calling to urge Attorney General Rob Bonta to continue to take action against Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) for pausing the initiation of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries for trans youth. This decision harms trans youth, violates medical ethics, and goes against California state law, which protects access to gender-affirming care. CHLA is still providing similar treatments to cisgender youth, meaning this is clear discrimination. I’m asking the Attorney General to investigate CHLA’s decision and take action to ensure trans youth continue receiving life-saving care. Thank you for your time. I appreciate your commitment to protecting healthcare access in California. #transrightsarehumanrights #genderaffirmingcare #protecttranskids #transyouth #protest #speaker

Genital surgery is happening on minors. And it’s a serious problem we must end. Intersex babies are too often forced to undergo surgery by their parents and doctor in order to fit a false biological binary because of shame and stigma. 1-2 percent of the population is intersex, as common as red heads. Intersex is an umbrella term for differences in sex traits or reproductive anatomy. People are born with these differences or develop them at a young age. Trans people are not advocating for minors to undergo genital surgery, but forced genital surgeries are happening every day to intersex babies. Trans kids exist and they deserve developmentally appropriate expressions of affirming care as outlined by WPATH’s standards for care.

ICE is occupying LA. Protesters are being criminalized. Trump is threatening elected officials with arrest. This is fascism — and we will not be silent. No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us. Show up. Stay safe. Know your rights. #PrideIsProtest #AbolishICE #NoJusticeNoPride #LAProtests #KnowYourRights #chingalamigra #vivalaraza

Cis straight men are attracted to trans women. Many live in fear and shame of this attraction. Many project those feelings onto us in the form of violence. This must end. There's an alternative. Being trans amorous is to love trans women openly, with respect, patience, honesty, and understanding. Trans women deserve this love.

Happy Trans Awareness Week! I published an op-ed in TIME 🏳️⚧️ A few months ago I went through a challenging targeted media attack. I was harassed, doxxed, and received death threats daily. I’m no stranger to receiving hateful comments online, but this experience was unprecedented. Everything I posted in June was met with over-sexualized comments, transphobic rhetoric, and hateful vitriol. I found it paradoxical how the same people could slut-shame me for being a woman, while simultaneously calling me a “man”. This later led me to have conversations and to journal about my feelings of being over-sexualized and harmed due to trans misogyny. Thus came my Op-Ed, “The Desire to Cruelty Pipeline: The Oversexualization and Violence Toward Trans Women.” Go read it and then comment here what you thought!

Sat down with the brilliant Zackary Drucker to talk about how her films preserve and spotlight trans histories that the world too often tries to erase. ✨ This interview was part of my latest piece for the Los Angeles Blade because our stories deserve to be remembered, celebrated, and centered. 🌈🏳️⚧️ #TransHistory #QueerCinema #ProtectTransStories #TransJoy #LGBTQMedia #LGBTHistory #ZackaryDrucker

This does matter. Because words from leaders, especially queer leaders, carry weight. After meeting Pete Buttigieg , I saw someone who’s made history and genuinely wants to lead with compassion. In his recent NPR interview, he made important points, like rejecting blanket bans on trans athletes and calling out the political games being played in Washington. That deserves recognition. But in the same breath, he referred to trans girls as “boys” and framed our inclusion as a “serious fairness issue.” That language is harmful and it feeds the exact fear he said he wanted to rise above. I made this video not to attack, but to clarify. To offer facts, lived experience, and a call for better from someone I still believe can do better. As the political landscape shifts and ambitions rise, I hope we remember who’s often caught in the crossfire and why it matters that we lead with integrity, not appeasement. This isn’t about fairness. It’s about fear, misinformation, and scapegoating. Trans people deserve dignity. We deserve truth. We deserve to play. #LetTransKidsPlay #TransAthletesBelong #ProtectTransYouth #TransWomenAreWomen #SportsAreForEveryone #LGBTQ #QueerLiberation #CallThemIn #PeteButtigieg

Here’s my full speech at the vigil for #NexBenedict 🏳️⚧️ Here are the questions I pose: How much safer could our society be if we stopped placing value on the enforcement of gender roles? How is our government protecting trans and nonbinary children? What could it look like to form a concerted effort to create a world where this doesn’t ever happened again? How will you honor the sacredness of Nex and every 2SLGBTQPIA+ person, including yourself? Thank you Ryan Cassata Shane Ivan Nash© Xodiak Darling @queerxact for organizing 💕 #bullying #justicefornex #vigil #speech #healing #endbullying #stopbullying #transrightsarehumanrights

This new bill is genuinely absurd… They say it’s about “morality,” but their top searches tell a different story. This isn’t about protecting anyone. It’s about shame, control, and silencing people. We see through it. We’re not going anywhere. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #StopProject2025 #SupportTransPeople #ProtectTransRights #BodilyAutonomy #ReproductiveRights #WeWontBeErased #accountant

Because of discrimination and transphobia in our society, trans people are at higher risk for STIs. Condoms and dental dams are the best way to protect against STIs. Visit your local @PlannedParenthood Health Center for free condoms, lube, free or affordable screenings, and so much more! This Valentine’s Day make sure to have fun and play safe! In this lesson I also debunk a common misconception about trans people. Because there is a lack of studies and information, gender-affirming hormone therapy cannot be relied upon as a form of contraception even though it does generally decrease fertility. A fertility test can confirm whether or not hormones are a reliable contraceptive for each individual. #CondomWeek #condom #dentaldam #hiv #aidsawareness #hivawareness #SexEd #stis #wearprotection #wrapit #plannedparenthood #trans101 #educator #ustranssurvey #trans #transgender Advocates for Trans Equality
