After this week’s news that the Trump administration is planning to redefine the word ‘gender’ to write trans people out of civil rights laws, we’ve taken to instagram to feature stories and voices of trans and gender-non-conforming people.
They #WontBeErased.
Be sure to follow Queerty on instagram to see more and tag @queerty in your posts if you want us to feature your message.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

More power to all of them! Trans rights are human rights, and trans people should be treated equally under the law.

Back during the worst days of the “bathroom bills” I wondered why no one came up with a campaign using photos of out transgender persons–showing photos of trans men with the caption, “Do you really want me having to go to the bathroom with your wife?,” and similarly showing photos of trans women with the caption, “Do you really want me having to go to the bathroom with your husband?” The same campaign could be used with the present erasure problem. It could also be extended, now that persons are transitioning earlier, to questions about “me having to use the dressing rooms and showers at school or college gyms” with your daughters/sons.

These are so very scary times, unfortunately it has nothing to do with Halloween
