#VivianJennaWilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth and Taking on the #Right Online

In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon #Musk talks about the 'cartoonishly evil' #Trump administration and being a young #TransWoman today.

Excerpt:

"Wilson’s vibrant life, full of possibility, underscores the lifesaving power of #GenderAffirming care for young people. As a child, Wilson struggled through #GenderDysphoria and the attendant mental health issues it often causes. She’s horrified by the wave of #AntiTrans legislation targeting young people like her. In the US, her peers are being demonized by the right, and are left undefended by Democrats. One of Trump’s first executive orders upon retaking office attempted to bar federal funding for health care providers that perform gender-affirming care for young people under 19; multiple federal judges have blocked the order from taking effect for now."

#RachelMaddow reports on yet another bad day for #DonaldTrump as he was made to restore jobs his top campaign donor, #ElonMusk, had slashed, and was similarly made to restore #USAID, another victim of #Musk's #DOGE, and lastly, had his #AntiTrans military policy rejected and was given a lesson in the language of the #DeclarationOfIndependence for good measure.

You've got 'til 9PM CASCADIAN/PACIFIC or Midnight EASTERN time to sign public comments against Musk and Trump's anti-trans passport rules.

There are THREE open comments sections. If you use the ACLU's site, it'll cover all three. But if you want to do it directly, you can. just do it all three places.

#Arizona #TwoSpirit #Powwow empowers community amid growing #AntiTrans legislation

"The Arizona Two Spirit Powwow returned to #PhoenixArizona on Saturday, February 22, to spotlight Indigenous #LGBTQ+ and two-spirit people for a day of cultural celebration and community.

"Hosted at South Mountain Community College, the event welcomed dancers, drum groups and attendees from across the region. More than just a traditional gathering, the powwow allowed two-spirit individuals to celebrate their identities and honor their place in Indigenous culture.

“'This (powwow) is a perfect example of a #SafeSpace for people to come and dance in whatever category they want to dance in, dress the way that they feel good about themselves, love who they want to love, and they are safe here. This tells the community we are here, we are here for you,' Sheila Lopez said.

"Lopez is the founder of Arizona’s first Two Spirit Powwow and the first Native chapter of #PFLAG, which bills itself as the country’s largest advocacy organization that supports LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.

"President Donald Trump’s recent executive actions have left #transgender and two-spirit communities uncertain about their rights and recognition going forward.

"'It is super important right now with the administration, what they’re doing to pretty much wipe away trans people. It’s super critical right now for us to continue to show up in the community, to say we’re here, we’re not going anywhere and you can’t erase us, period,' Lopez said."

@tillybridges stay strong! Transpeople will always have my support!

As for all the #antitrans people stop harassing people for wanting to be happy! I've seen one of my oldest and closest friends transition and he has never seemed more happy and confident as he does now! He is real and his happiness is real, period.
