Hi, I’m Tess.

I’m a real, live trans person with an ordinary life. I’m lucky enough to have a job I like and a place to live. I have a wife and daughter and other friends and family who love me.

This administration wants to reinterpret foundational civil rights protections to exclude me and people like me from public life, despite dozens of court cases and the overwhelming consensus of the scientific and medical professions.

If you’re reading this, you know at least one real person whose life this policy will affect. Politics have consequences in the lives and well-being of your fellow humans. Vote accordingly. Donate accordingly. Do something.

I exist, and I .
