We organized an open letter signed by 23 current and former NYC Pride Grand Marshals calling on @NYC Pride to ban hospitals that have ended care for trans youth until they restore those services. While NYC Pride did not meet the demand, community pressure made an impact: NYU Langone withdrew from marching in Pride, and NYC Pride invited Christen to speak at its press conference. Pride should never provide a platform to institutions that abandon our community. We hope NYC Pride bars any medical provider that has cut off trans youth healthcare from future Pride celebrations until they fully restore care. #genderliberation #transkids #NYCpride

We're grateful for the support of @arianagrande 's Brighter Days Ahead Foundation. During Grande's NYC tour dates, we partnered for a back-to-school drive for trans youth. Together, we packed 200 backpacks to give to families with trans kids in New York City and Atlanta. 🏳️‍⚧️ #transkids #genderliberation #ArianaGrande

On August 1, we hosted Thicker Than Water in Atlanta—a cookout celebrating and supporting Black families of LGBTQ+ youth. Together, we distributed more than 200 backpacks ahead of the new school year, shared a meal with families and neighbors, hosted games and activities for young people, and closed out the day with special performances. We chose the name Thicker Than Water intentionally. Many of us grew up hearing that "blood is thicker than water." But for some of us, family is the one we're born into. For others, it's the one we build. And for many, it's both. We wanted this gathering to honor every version of family that shows up with love. A huge thank you to our community partners for helping make this day so meaningful, and to everyone who came out, shared space with us, and made this community celebration what it was. 💜💚 #genderliberation #GLM
