It’s really strange being reminded that “when I first heard about trans rights” is a thing that may have happened for some folks who I think are around my age only after the anti-(LGB but really gay) movement swung hard to go after trans people
An important point here is that I never thought of myself as intolerant. I always wanted to be completely supportive of trans rights. However, I found myself wondering and worrying about various technicalities and potential problems for getting to a better place.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
