I needed some guidance about my gender care work this morning so I went to my oracle deck. 🔥

On June 17, 2025, a federal court granted plaintiffs’ motions for class certification and for a preliminary injunction. The preliminary injunction allows many transgender, nonbinary, and inters*x people to receive passports with accurate s*x markers while this litigation is pending. Read more about the ACLU’s lawsuit, the preliminary injunction, and how to apply for an accurate passport below. https://www.aclu.org/trumps-assault-on-transgender-rights/qa-orr-v-trump

No one should have to travel long distances for medically necessary healthcare – but bans and restrictions on gender-affirming care force trans youth and their families to do just that.

As a result of the recent Executive Order, clinics across the country have stopped offering gender-affirming care for youth under 19, forcing many individuals and families to relocate their care.

Now, the Trans Youth Emergency Project – led by Campaign for Southern Equality – is supporting those who have been forced to relocate their care with patient navigation services, one-time travel grants of $500, and more.

Here we go again, friends!

If you’ve been around for a while, you might remember that my Pride flag was set on fire and my trans-affirming yard signs were stolen back in August 2023. Well, welcome to the latest installment of 𝘏𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯, 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥, 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭, 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘳-𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵’𝘴 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦!

This time, the vandalism came with more of an “arts and crafts” flair—though frankly, the ex*****on was embarrassingly clumsy. So, points off for the crude handiwork and a big ol’ Whomp Whomp for the cowardice, bigotry, and criminal destruction carried out at my sweet little love-filled office under the cover of darkness during Pride month.

Look, I’m ok. I’m not afraid and I welcome the nudge to get fresh new signs so I can keep proudly honoring and uplifting q***r lives. What really matters here are the jagged claw marks of the homophobia, transphobia and racism that continue to rip through this country. That’s the real danger, the real damage. And that’s why I am showing up here, spreading love where someone tried to plant hate.

✨ I am proud to be a q***r-affirming, anti-racist therapist and human. I stand unapologetically with LGBTQIA+ people, Black and brown people, trans and nonbinary people. If you are a part of these targeted groups and need a reminder that you are loved, seen, and worth defending—let this be it.

✨ I believe love is resistance and community is stronger than cruelty. I’m calling on my community again—especially white, cishet allies—to show up and show out. I believe in a future where we all get to be safe, seen, and celebrated.

✨ To help build that world, I’m encouraging donations to 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝘁. 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀, an organization celebrating and supporting the Black LGBTQ+ community. [𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!]
Let’s turn this mess into something meaningful. Let’s keep showing up for each other and lead the way through these dark days with steady and meaningful action.

Hold on to yourself for this one. He’s breaking dysfunctional fantasies and exposing powerful truths. Pay attention to the ones that hit you.
