Trump and others say they're "protecting" people with their horrendous policies and ideas, but they're doing the exact opposite.
Trans people aren't going anywhere — and we aren't done fighting back.

Trans people have always existed, that's a fact. The onslaught of attacks in recent years — from bathroom bills to bans on gender-affirming care — are designed to make life so difficult for trans people that they're erased from society.

Trump, DeSantis, etc. — they're all competing to have the most anti-trans, extremist stance possible. They're putting political ambitions above the values people care about and the lives of trans people.

We've seen Donald Trump's recent video attacking transgender people that's riddled with disinformation, fearmongering and hate.
He, alongside other extremists, are saying the quiet part out loud: They want a world in which transgender people don't exist.
We won't allow that.

On the first day of Black History Month, the College Board caved to the will of extremist conservatives like Ron DeSantis by censoring African American studies curriculum.
This is an embarrassment on the part of the College Board and an attempt to erase Black history.

Utah is on track to become the first state in 2023 to pass anti-LGBTQ+ legislation with its ban on gender-affirming care.

Unique and her mother were the victims of another shooting -- one of at least 40 in 2023.

Anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers are building upon the work they did last year. It's only the first month of 2023 and we're already expecting a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills this year.
Our opponents continue to attack us, but we're fighting back and won't be silenced.

In 2022, state legislatures worked overtime to pass bills aimed at harming our community, specifically targeting transgender kids.
Despite the majority of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation failing, the 29 bills that were signed into law are having devastating effects on families.
