this is a baking account now

remember, journalists: you don’t have a “preferred” gender identity, bathroom, locker room, pronoun, etc. neither do trans folks.

I'm looking for a few writers for From Boise. Send me a dm or email me marissa@fromboise.com 💌

If you think Idaho’s in the PNW I’d really like to know why…and I’ll leave it there for now

Absolutely THRILLED to report that Pelican has been adopted!! 🐶 boise.citycast.fm/dog-days-of-bo…

it’s just a girl and her rice cooker against the world

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%. The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%. "Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare. However... Let's address that 0.3%. Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret: 👉Unsupportive families. 👉Transphobic environments. 👉Normal post-op distress. Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender. The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve. Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

all summer

“Deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.” Powerful words from Justice Jackson’s dissent.

Loved talking astrology with my fellow earth sign mami @eavitia_ and Gemini queen @iamemmaarnold! AND! We found out what Boise's sign is 👀

@audreydutton omg congratulations!!

My first day at ProPublica was today, and I'm so fired up! It's my dream job: spending all day, every day on investigative journalism that holds people and institutions accountable, and I get to do it from Idaho, with this amazing team of journalists. propublica.org/people/audrey-…

But wait, TERFs repeatedly insisted to me that my predictions of this very thing happening were never going to happen???
