“This morning I called a 12-year-old in my district who is worried about their future as a nonbinary kid in this country. They should be playing and learning, and not writing to their Congress Member, desperate to not lose their right to exist. These are the priorities of the Republican majority--not addressing gun violence, rising rent, or medical bills, but violating the privacy of children. I am glad I get previews. I get special previews of what this Republican majority is going to try to do in this body because they are simply taking bills that are being passed in Florida and across the South, horrible bills, and trying to get them passed up here. This isn't about a problem that needs a solution, but about politicians looking for a target.

Trans people will continue to fight for equity. We will be right by their side, and we will win.”
