It’s been a rough time for trans and nonbinary youth. I wanted to find a way to show them support and #letters4transkids was what I came up with. I hope you will join me by posting a message of encouragement to these amazing young people and tagging it #letters4transkids (1/7)

Well you could leave it up to each hardware maker to decide. But then people would complain about burger fragmentation.
This is why trans adults are fighting for trans kids.
We made it & we know lots of people who didn’t. We’ve seen it can be better. We’ve seen how kids can thrive & now people want the next generation to go backward. That’s it. That’s the whole plan.
And we won’t stand for it.

Trans kids DO exist.
I was one of them.
I was lucky enough to have a supportive family who protected me & didn't force me to be anyone other than who I wanted to be. That is why I'm still alive today.
Support your Trans kids, it's a matter of life & death.

Every day brings a fresh heartache. Every day my trans and non-binary siblings in some state lose some inalienable right. A fundamental right that was nonetheless put up for debate and vote. A right that they need to be safe, a right that helped them feel more fully themselves.

To the trans and non-binary youth having a hard time because they found out one of their favorite authors created an entire fictional universe but doesn’t have space for them, I feel you. But you are real and valid. I love you more than Harry, Hermione, Neville and Ron combined.
Personally I relish this sort of discussion

Didn't realize this moment was being filmed yesterday but I'm so happy that it was. My childhood self would never have dreamed of seeing a gay kiss on TV at the Olympics but for the first time ever a kid watching at home CAN! Love is love is love.

There are a bunch of reasons I don’t love embargoes. 1) They often don’t serve original intent: allowing reporters time to report on a complex subject before writing. 2) one person often messes it up for everyone. I try really hard not to be that person. Today I was. Sorry to all
One of my favorite things is being able to be in the media, visibly and audibly trans, as an expert in my field and not just for being transgender, though I am proudly trans. Happy #TransDayOfVisibility2019 to all my trans and non-binary siblings!
