“Failure isn’t an option.” Meet senatormachaela, the senator fighting to strike down a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for trans youth under the age of 19 in her state. ⬇️
on the condition that the bill be pushed to the top of the legislative agenda, signaling that she may have the support necessary to kill the bill in a vote.

Why do you think we’re not seeing more Democrats speaking out about the war currently being waged on trans people and trans youth in particular? You know, I would push back on that because I don’t think that this is a partisan issue. I think everyone should be pushing back, should be fighting and standing up against this assault on trans youth. I don’t think that transphobia is a Republican thing. I think that transphobia is a problem that needs to be addressed directly and head-on by people in positions of power. It should not just be Democrats that are pushing back on this. It should be Republicans. This is government overreach.
That’s a really important point. What kind of reaction have you gotten to your robust defense of trans kids? For the most part, I have received a very overwhelming amount of positive feedback and support. Every day, there are families or parents of trans children or trans children themselves showing up in the Nebraska Capitol to talk to their senators and talk to me. There have, of course, been people that are not happy about it, and they have expressed their displeasure in some unkind ways at times, but, you know, that’s their right.
