Into
the
trans
community
in
a
huge
part
when
we're
talking
about
not
only
advocacy
policy,
but
what
we
do
here
at
tent
is
that
we
provide
not
only
educational
programs
like
this
part
of
our
trans-safe
program,
but
we
also
are
kind
of
putting
the
boots
on
the
ground
outside
of
the
capitol
here
in
austin
texas,
but
we're
a
statewide
org.
So
we
also
do
community
care
events
all
across
the
state
of
texas
and
pretty
much.
I
guess
the
best
way
to
answer
it
for
a
lot
of
folks.
A
Is
we
try
to
answer
the
question
for
folks
that
haven't
been
in
contact
with
us
is
how
are
trans
rights,
human
rights
right?
We
answered
that
question
at
the
capitol.
We
answered
that
question
not
only
here
in
austin,
but
also
houston,
el
paso
and
dallas,
we're
pretty
much
everywhere
doing
this
all
on
the
ground,
but
yeah.
A
We
also
need
to
know
what
trans
means
right
and
so
transgender
is
just
pretty
much
an
umbrella
term
of
someone
whose
gender
identity
does
not
match
the
gender
they
are
assigned
at
birth.
So
you
might
often
hear
designated
female
at
birth
degree
native
male
at
birth.
A
huge
part
of
that
is
that
how
we've
built
up
our
medical
system
here
in
the
u.s
is
that
we
there's
a
form
of
in
which
we
have
to
have
something
fit
into
neat
nice
boxes
right
and
throughout
history.
It
never
has
right.
A
We
also
understand
that
intersex
folks
are
around
two
percent
of
the
human
population,
which
is
around
the
same
number
of
redheads.
We
have
as
well,
but
that's
just
the
best
way,
to
kind
of
visualize.
That
is,
that
the
the
gender
spectrum,
as
well
as
these
neat
boxes,
don't
necessarily
fit
gender
expansive
folks,
right
and
so.
A
Gender
expansive
is
an
umbrella
term
that
encompasses
all
genders,
but
cisgender
individuals,
right
and
so
typically
you'll
hear
like
t
g
and
c,
which
means
trans
or
gender
not
conforming
for
some
folks
for
some
trans
folks,
gender
non-conforming
is
just
but
an
expression
as
opposed
to
an
identity
for
some
others.
It
is
an
identity
as
well,
so
to
better
encapsulate
all
of
the
trans
and
just
gender
expansive
identities.
A
We
came
up
with
tge,
that's
kind
of
the
standard
that
tent,
but
also
a
few
of
our
state
partners
as
well
as
across
the
us,
is
trying
to
set
this
new
standard
to
be
able
to
encapsulate
everyone
right
and
so
right.
I
think
a
huge
part
of
it
is
the
the
buzzword
of
laying
around
pronouns
and
around
like
identity,
but
also
when
we
talk
about
transgender
folks
and
also
gender
expensive
folks.
A
We
also
need
to
understand
that,
when
we're
talking
about
pronouns
we're
also
talking
about
folks
who
have
died,
fighting
for
those
pronouns
as
well
right,
and
so
there
is
a
deeper
meaning
to
that.
But
I
also
want
to
say
that
pronouns
they
pretty
much
started
along
the
lines
of
when
we
started
globalizing
business
right
in
terms
of
like
sending
correspondence
across
the
internet
or
across
the
ocean.
A
Some
folks,
don't
necessarily
assign
genders
to
like
my
vietnamese
name,
right
wing,
and
so
the
best
way
to
kind
of
interact
with
that
is
that
folks
would
put
their
pronouns
underneath
their
name
in
their
email,
signature
and
their
correspondence.
Welcome.
Everybody
feel
free
and
join
me
at
the
front,
but
yeah
so
we're
talking
about
pronouns
like
it
was
made
for
cisgender
folks.
It
was
also
made
for
trans
folks,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
you
know
so
many
different
examples
of
what
gender,
expensive
identity
and
the
use
of
pronouns.
A
A
You
know,
I
think
we
also
got
to
talk
about
the
types
of
films
that
we
only
show
on
straight
to
tv,
disney
movies,
or
you
know
right
to
dvd
movies,
but
I
think
a
huge
part
of
it
is
like
this
trope
of
having
a
dude
in
a
dress
or
a
real
woman.
These
ideas
have
toxicified
these
very,
very
rigid
boxes
that
don't
necessarily
fit
people
like
me
who
use
they
them
pronouns.
Being
non-binary,
I
don't
necessarily
identify
with
either.
A
However,
this
toxicity,
it
also
puts
into
the
trope
of
the
idea
that
trans
women
trans
people
are
trying
to
trick
you.
What
does
that
lead
to
that
leads
to
interpersonal
violence?
That
leads
to
texas,
being
the
bloodiest
state
here
in
texas,
right,
the
bloodiest
state
in
the
u.s
for
trans
people
right
and
a
majority
of
them
being
right:
trans
women
of
color,
black
trans
women.
Here
in
the
state
of
texas
right
and
for
about
six
years,
we
led
the
country
in
the
most
trans
murders
right.
A
We
were
beat
up
by
florida
last
year,
but
who's
counting
right.
So
these
tropes
perpetuate
a
deep
culture
in
which
trans
people
frequently
are
killed
right
for
men
being
attracted
to
them,
right
more
so
than
that
is
also
leads
to
like
medical
biases
in
in
our
medical
system.
It
leads
to
not
being
able
to
rent
an
apartment.
It
leads
to
not
being
able
to
receive
medical
care
while
in
detention
right.
These
things
are
in
every
part
of
society.
A
A
We
also
mean
this
is
a
very
deep
personal
point
in
our
lives,
and
this
transition
is
a
very
deep
personal
experience
right.
I
think
something
that
we
really
do
want
to
walk
away
with.
Is
there's
not
really
a
right
way
to
transition?
There's
not
really
a
right
way
to
be
trans
or
gender
expansive
right,
and
so,
I
think,
being
an
ally.
You
can
also,
you
know,
help
normalize
parts
of
our
lives
where
we
find
a
lot
of
conflict
right
here
in
the
state
of
texas
we're
an
at-will
state.
A
A
Oh,
you
don't
look
like
your
picture
anymore,
something
along
those
lines
right
and
so
understanding
that
what
you
can
do
to
help
in
these
moments
is
also
trying
to
support
individuals,
not
only
in
your
social
media,
but
we're
trying
to
destigmatize
some
of
the
ways
of
life
that
we
have
to
lead
through.
So,
for
example,
I
love
that
everybody
here
has,
I
think,
their
pronouns
right
on
their
badge,
perfect
beautiful.
I
love
that
right.
That's
helping
normalize
it
right,
that's
helping
destigmatize
it
right,
and
I
want
to
differentiate
the
two
between
normalizing.
A
Something
is
just
a
way
to
bring
it
into
the
norm,
while
the
stigma
is
trying
to
remove
that
right,
and
so
you
might
hear
sometimes
with
partner,
like
a
person
calling
their
significant
other
their
partner
right.
That,
in
the
same
way,
has
helped
supported
individuals
that
might
not
necessarily
have
what
america
calls
the
traditional
relationship
like
structure
right
and
so
in
the
same
ways
helping
to
stigmatize
that
helping
normalize
that,
even
if
you're
cis
is
a
great
way
to
do
it.
A
Another
thing
is
that
we're
here
in
texas,
I
use
y'all
right
is
not
using
gendered
language
right,
sometimes
you'll
see
someone
walk
up
onto
stage
and
say,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
right
you
can
say
distinguished
guests.
Thank
you
for
everybody
for
coming,
but
when
we
say
y'all
means
all
we
really
do
mean
it
right
and
so
outside
of
that
is
just
also
instead
of
assuming,
you
can
also
just
ask
for
a
person's
pronouns
and
those
are
great
ways
to
support,
and,
last
but
not
least,
listen
right.
A
I
think
a
huge
part
of
supporting
trans
folks,
not
only
in
the
state
of
texas
but
across
the
world,
is
listening
to
what
they
need
right.
No
one
else
other
than
themselves
will
understand
what
material
needs
do
they
need
what
material
wellness
looks
like
to
them.
What
wellness
looks
like
in
general,
and
so
for
the
last
five
years
since
I
came
out
for
the
last
five
years
since
I
started
doing
this
type
of
advocacy,
I've
been
asking
people
to
listen.
I've
been
asking
folks,
hey,
listen
to
me.
A
We
need
more
support
around
hiv
prevention
for
trans
women
right
trans
women
here
in
the
state
of
texas
are
disproportionately
affected
by
by
hiv,
not
through,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
right.
What
does
that?
No
protections
for
employment,
look
like
in
the
state
of
texas
that
equals
right,
different
forms
of
transactional
sex
work,
for
example,
not
being
able
to
find
housing.
A
A
A
That
can
make
it
easier
for
folks,
but
a
huge
part
of
it
is
not
necessarily
putting
the
onus
of
the
people
doing
the
work
only
on
the
people
that
are
being
affected
right
is
that
starting
either
an
affinity
group,
an
arg
whatever
that
might
look
like,
is
definitely
an
easier
way
for
folks
to
be
able
to
voice
what
they
need
in
their
workplace.
What
they
need,
as
they
like,
walk
through
the
world,
is
that
you
know
if
you're
a
case
manager.
A
For
example,
you
know
if
you're
a
doctor
looking
for
those
trainings,
if
you
are
a
admin
of
your
company
requesting
these
types
of
trainings,
is
a
really
good
way
to
support
it,
but
also
raising
the
standard
of
how
you
can
support
trans
folks
right
in
your
company
in
your
workplace.
Whatever
that
might
be,
but
also
like
you
know,
I
think
a
huge
part
of
it
is
that
you
know
we
can
walk
out
of
this
conversation
in
the
next
30
minutes.
A
A
It
also
affects
how
well
we
are
being
productive
or
not,
and
that's
not
necessarily
the
way
that
an
individual,
don't
necessarily
have
to
think
about
right
in
terms
of
if
you're
a
cis
person,
you
don't
have
to
think
about
what
does
a
restroom
and
not
being
able
to
go
to
the
restroom
that
corresponds
with
your
gender.
How
that
might
affect
how
well
you
can
do
at
your
job
right,
so
understanding
is
also
a
great
way
to
build
empathy,
as
we
move
forward
right.
A
So
a
huge
thing
is
the
takeaway
from
this,
and
I'm
going
to
be
opening
up
for
questions
here.
I
know
keeping
it
short
for
you
all,
but
I
really
want
to
have
a
conversation
with
you
is
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
trans
person
are
isn't
necessarily
asking
for
much
right,
there's
not
necessarily
a
right
way
to
transition
or
the
best
way
to
accommodate
us.
A
We
just
simply
want
to
be
recognized
as
humans
right,
which
is
kind
of
hard,
depending
on
the
state
that
you're
in,
but
I
think
that's
a
huge
part
of
also
that
one-on-one
interaction
right
and
so
there's
definitely
myriad
of
ways
of
understanding.
This
shared
bond
of
humanity
that
we
do
have
and
deserving
of
the
same
dignity
as
well
as
the
respect,
regardless
of
gender
gender
identity.
A
So
I
would
love
to
talk
to
you
all
about
the
type
of
work
that
we
do
here.
What
building
this
type
of
transaffirming
space
might
look
like.
I
understand
that
I
was
brief
that
you
all
understand
more
than
just
pronouns,
but
I
also
want
to
kind
of
get
into
the
nitty-gritty
of
what
support
do
you
all
need?
Having
a
professional
trans
person
answer
your
questions
right,
quick
right,
so
I
would
love
to
kind
of
open
it
up
if
y'all
have
any
types
of
questions,
if
not,
I
can
ramble
on
about
how
you
can.
A
Cool
love,
it
love
it
love
it
love
it
yeah.
So
I
can.
I
can
tell
you
a
little
bit
of
self-disclosure
about
how
I
came
out
and
why
I
moved
away
from
hiv
prevention
into
advocacy
was
that
you
know
we
have
all
of
the
data
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
see
what
type
of
investment
we
need
into
our
communities
right,
especially
when
it
comes
to
not
only
like
you
know,
on
the
ground
like
one-on-one,
but
also
we're
talking
about
welcome,
please.
A
But
how
can
we
support
trans
folks
overall
right,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
like
we're
talking
about
the
lack
of
support
in
housing
or
a
lack
of
support
and
employment
and
how
that
bleeds
out
and
so
to
better
describe?
That
is
that
you
can
better
imagine
how
a
trans
person
here
in
the
here
in
austin,
at
least
right
gets
misgendered
at
the
testing
room.
For
example.
Right
the
moment
you
walk
into
a
testing
room,
you
get
misgendered
you
clam
up
after
that.
A
They
ask
you,
you
know
what
type
of
like
what
is
your
you
know
current
sexual
relationships.
How
is
that
looking
and
testing
and
the
kind
of
issues
that
come
up
with
that?
Is
that
the
moment
that
you
don't
provide
not
even
the
open
warming
welcome
is
that
they
clam
up
to
not
even
answer
the
right
questions
right
and
that
can
be
interactions
with
not
only
clients,
but
also
with
how
you
can
support
them
down
the
line
right.
A
A
How
do
you
bridge
the
gap
between
like
an
admin
who
doesn't
necessarily
want
to
start
creating
that
trans-inclusive
environment?
Is
that
your
question
great?
Yes?
So
we
have
done
trainings
for
a
lot
of
different
businesses
here
in
texas
and
where
we
go
in,
and
we
kind
of
have
these
questions
of
like
these
different
barriers
of
understanding.
A
I
think
that's
a
huge
part
of
it.
So
I
think
he's
talking
about
a
dei
kind
of
inclusion
right.
I
think
the
best
way
to
kind
of
like
tackle
that
is
that
there
are
organizations
as
well
as
a
lot
of
research
that
says
that
supporting
trans
folks
in
the
workplace
also
supports
the
understanding
of
building
a
more
diverse
workflow,
in
which
you
can
interact
with
a
lot
more
different
clients,
but
also
as
you're.
B
A
Yeah
for
sure
for
sure,
well,
I
guess
the
best
way
to
put
it
two
different
branching
ideas.
The
first
idea
is
that
folks
here,
like,
I
think
folks
think
of
it
as
like
a
trend
right,
so
I
want
to
kind
of
attack
that
idea
of
like
transness
being
a
trend
and
a
huge
part
of
it
is
that
the
work
around
normalizing
and
destigmatizing
trans
identity
has
been
around
for
decades
right
and
so
as
we're
moving
forward.
A
A
Their
affirmation
that
affirmation
and
finding
euphoria
also
supports
them
as
a
person
to
be
happier
and
supported
right
and
how
we
might
accommodate
one
person
for
how
their
gender
identity
might
find
barriers
in
which
not
only
their
pronouns,
but
also
how
we
can
support
them
as
just
another
human
being.
I
guess
I
keep.
I
keep
bouncing
off
this
idea
of
like
just
basic
respect
right
and
how
you
know,
for
example,
nicknames
right,
like
I
have
a
few
nicknames.
A
My
nickname
is
ginny,
for
example,
like
folks
change
their
names
all
of
the
time
right
in
the
same
way
that
it
might
be
just
social
transition
for
another
person.
It
might
be
looking
for
that
affirmation
to
stop
the
the
pain
of
a
person
as
they
as
they're,
identifying
what
their
gender
might
be
as
that
process
goes
on,
and
so
it's
also
supporting
that
person's
mental
health
as
well
right,
and
so
I
think,
that's
the
best
way
to
kind
of
go
about
it
in
terms
of
like
bringing
up.
A
Sure
these
international
trends
around
the
world
and
like
trans
and
gender,
expensive
identity
is
also
like
pushing
folks
further
to
the
margins
right
and
so
here
in
the
state
of
texas.
A
lot
of
folks
are
quoting
jk
rowling
in
the
uk
right
and
the
their
processes
of
stopping
and
halting
and
building
even
more
barriers
for
folks
to
receive
gender
affirming
care
right,
and
so
I
think,
that's
a
huge
part
of
what's
happening
around
the
world
right
now.
A
A
So
I
guess
the
best
way
we
talk
about
how
to
become
an
advocate
as
well,
right
and
so
becoming
an
advocate,
and
not
only
in
your
own
community.
There's
also
understanding
that
we
are
trying
to
build
a
pretty.
How
do
you
say
it?
A
pretty
expansive
referral
network
right
and
so
as
you're
going
back
to
your
homes
in
the
next
two
days
right
looking
around
your
communities
and
also
understanding
that
there
are
events,
there's
folks
and
advocates
pretty
much
in
every
community.
A
Even
my
partner
back
in
like
new
hampshire,
there's
a
huge
like
trans
community
there
as
well
right,
and
so
they
are
creating
events,
but
also
support
and
finding
where
folks
are
doing
those
trainings
in
your
state
or
in
your
city
and
then
bringing
that
in
right
becoming
an
advocate
also
could
be
becoming
more
active
not
only
in
your
local
government,
but
also
your
bigger
government
as
well
right
in
your
state
government,
and
so
a
lot
of
advocates
here
in
austin.
Live
here
in
austin.
A
Go
to
the
capitol
go
to
hearings
things
like
that,
it's
more
than
that.
It's
also
understanding
that
there's
mutual
aid
programs
to
be
able
to
combat
some
of
those
barriers
that
folks
might
find
for
even
food
insecurity,
right
or
housing,
and
so
building
that
referral
network,
not
only
in
your
your
business
but
also
in
in
your
lives.
You
can
also
give
that
down
the
line
to
the
folks
that
might
need
it
right
and
so
becoming
an
advocate
is
also
understanding
and
continue.
Educating
the
folks
around
you
right.
A
So
a
huge
part
of
what
we
do
at
tent
is
bringing
that
understanding
and
and
those
questions
around
like.
Why
are
trans
folks
being
included
in
like
reproductive
rights
right?
Why
are
folks
being
included
in
immigration,
rights
or
disability
justice
right?
A
huge
part
of
that
is
that
when
we
say
trans
rights
are
human
rights,
we
mean
that
any
issue
that
affects
a
trans
person
is
also
our
issue
right
and
so
being
there
for
folks,
in
every
kind
of
aspect
is
also
understanding
to
continue
the
education
and
spreading
it
further
yeah.
A
A
A
And
so,
when
we're
talking
about
how
pride
month
has
become
so
conglomerated
and
corporate
is
also
thinking
about
how,
when
we're
pretty
much
getting
down
to
the
brass
taxes,
are
they
actually
going
to
the
capital
of
their
state
and
also
supporting
as
well
right?
So
we're
bringing
a
lot
of
business
partners
to
be
able
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
tran,
their
trans
employees
right
is
that
are
they
actually
showing
up
or
they
actually
actively
harming
it
around
the
side?
