From the article:

Governor Roy Cooper just vetoed three anti-LGBTQ+ bills – including HB808, which prohibits the initiation of gender-affirming care for transgender youth in the state; SB49, a broad curriculum censorship bill that also requires staffers to “out” transgender students; and HB574, which prohibits transgender students from participating in school sports.

Now, sponsors of this shameful bills are pushing for a vote to override the governor’s veto.

This is our last chance to stop these bills before they become law. Send a message now telling North Carolina lawmakers to let the veto stand – and to drop these attack on transgender and queer young people once and for all.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.

Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.

You're not too old to start IDing as ace or aro. You're not too old to question your identity or consider new labels.

Being aro doesn't mean you have to love other people more platonically or be more invested in friendship or anything like that. You're still allowed to choose how important these things are for you or not.

I remember being taught in the mid 90s that there were only ~2000 left. Watching their tragic story unfold during my lifetime has just been heart wrenching.
