The Punisher (REAL ONE, Jon Bernthal) knows that #TransRightsAreHumanRights and if you got a problem with my trans homies, I'm gonna identify as a problem.
Camp Lost Boys, in the woods between Denver and Colorado Springs, is the world's only sleep-away camp and largest gathering space for adult trans men. Its goal is to encourage trans men to take up space and express love for their own masculinity. “Being a man is often seen as a terrible thing, particularly if you come from a queer space … and we internalize that,” says Rocco Kayiatos, founder of the Intentional Man Project, the nonprofit that makes camp happen. @19thnews talked to some of the men who attend Camp Lost Boys, who range from their teens to their 70s. “I have never seen that many trans guys in one space. To be honest, I haven’t seen this many trans adults, ever,” says 19-year-old Orion Pevehouse. “I have never seen an old trans person. And it just gives me a lot of hope that … I’m gonna live my entire life like this. And that’s just really exciting.”
@CultureDesk@19thnews I knew about trans men and women from when I was a child. My grandfather's ranch was a few miles from Trinidad, Colorado. Dr Stanley Biber, at one time the leading surgeon in the U.S. for gender-affirming surgery and one of the few doctors in the world who worked with transgender patients. His office in Trinidad, Colorado — a small town just 13 miles north of New Mexico — changed thousands of lives between 1969 and 2010.
@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ Thanks for sharing this. He sounds like a remarkable person. Here's a story from 5280 — an extract from the 2021 book "Going to Trinidad" — that explains a bit more about his work.
As a last roll of the dice before they leave office, the Tories have used emergency powers to ban puberty blockers for trans kids. Here’s a good explainer from Jo Maugham, including why it’s probably not legal
In case you’re wondering where Labour stands, Wes Streeting says he welcomed Victoria Atkins’ approach to puberty blockers. He said “I also welcome what she’s said about the justifiably cautious and responsible approach she’s taking in relation to puberty blockers in light of the Cass Review.”
#Target, you're confusing a signal with noise. This is not how you deal with #fascists, #racists, and #transphobes: "The reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt and learn so that our future approach to these moments balances celebration, inclusivity and broad-based appeal," Christina Hennington, Target's chief growth officer, said last summer."
Help #trans people. We're doing an educational video and need the help of a #voice actor. Must do American accent of some sort, and ideally an older person. If you are willing to help, please #volunteer by pinging us here. #transrightsarehumanrights#video
@trans_rescue are you looking for professional voice actors or would someone who is just experienced with public speaking and willing to give a try work?
