Heartbreaking. That’s the only word to describe Heartbreaking. That’s the only word to describe what’s happening in Arkansas now. Late yesterday, Arkansas legislature overrode Gov. Hutchinson’s veto of HB 1750, making Arkansas the first state to outlaw gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth. The first principle of the Hippocratic Oath is “do no harm.” When doctors, as guided by the state, refuse gender-affirming treatment to trans gender people, it will lead to disastrous--and sometimes deadly--consequences. Gender-affirming care is life-saving care. If you support trans and gender-creative kids, now is the time to raise your voice and drown out the violence and bigotry with LOUD, VOCAL SUPPORT. Follow and support litigation from the @ACLU aiming to appeal this decision. Call out transphobia in your workplace, at your school, or wherever you see it. Support the trans people in your own life and beyond. To trans youth in Arkansas: we will continue to fight for you. 🏳️‍⚧️✊ Image from @rvccwomenscenter
The bill that @chasestrangio called “the single The bill that @chasestrangio called “the single most extreme anti-trans to ever pass through a state legislature” was just vetoed by Gov. Hutchinson. Thank you, Governor! Our work is not done 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊

We all remember the feeling of getting lost in a b We all remember the feeling of getting lost in a book. Think about how good it feels to find yourself in one. Stories have the power to connect us to each other and to the world around us. They have the power to help us feel seen and heard. For some LGBTQ + youth the feeling of isolation, of being misunderstood and not accepted for who they are is a painful and lonely existence. That is why we do what we do at Gender Nation. We use the power of story to elevate and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, and to show kids, queer or otherwise, that they’re not alone. In addition to continuing our donations of these award winning books to public school libraries, we are now thrilled to announce The Gender Nation Story Time Series! We’ve invited members of the community to share videos of themselves reading some of our favorite LGBTQ-affirming books! This Friday, we’ll release the first video of our Story Time Series: special guest reveal TOMORROW!
This is heartbreaking. To all trans kids in Arkans This is heartbreaking. To all trans kids in Arkansas and across the country struggling today: you are not alone. You are seen, heard, and valued.

Last week, Alabama state legislators voted to pass Last week, Alabama state legislators voted to pass a bill that would make it a felony for doctors to provide trans kids with gender-affirming care. That includes surgery, synthetic hormones, and even puberty blockers, which are a safe, reversible way to delay puberty in gender-questioning kids and teens. This is unacceptable. All young people should have access to safe, affirming healthcare, and most certainly, doctors should never be punished for providing it! The only thing criminal here is this bill.
Now this is the right way to do a #GenderReveal 🎂

On the last day of #BlackHistoryMonth 2021, we wan On the last day of #BlackHistoryMonth 2021, we want to celebrate Marsha P. Johnson, a fearless community leader and champion of LGBTQ+ and civil rights. A key figure in the Stonewall uprisings of 1969, throughout her life Marsha fought for the recognition and celebration of LGBTQ+ people, often when doing so put her in danger. We want to thank Marsha for paving the way for more LGBTQ+ young people to come out and be out safely. Thank you, Marsha! 🏳️‍🌈❤️
Today is international Stand Up to Bullying Day, a Today is international Stand Up to Bullying Day, a reminder to parents, teachers, and kids that in order to stop bullying, we ALL have to take a stand - LGBTQ+ folks and allies alike. And young people are doing it: a recent study showed that two-thirds of tweens are willing to step in to defend, support, or assist those being bullied at school and online when they see it. For parents and teachers, here are 3 quick tips about the role you play in standing up to bullying. ❤️

But truly #lausd librarians are coming out in droves to get our books because they are offering remote storytime to their students.

Please consider sponsoring a book set and we’ll give you a thank you on our stories! $220 covers 17 hard cover books for our sets but any amount helps! http://gendernation.org/donations/gender-nation/
