The Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, today upheld injunctions in two related cases against the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) and former Commissioner Jaime Masters, barring them from implementing the agency’s rule expanding the definition of child abuse to presumptively treat the provision of gender-affirming care as child abuse.

Gender Refugees: Escaping Hostile States for the Transgender Community

Refugees flee war, violence, conflict, and persecution. They are displaced families who have lost their homes in battle. They are environmental migrants forced to escape famine due to historic droughts. They are not, as we traditionally think of them, American families driving SUVs cross-country.

I have been watching Game of Thrones (yes, for the first time) over the last few evenings. Averaging about 6 episodes per night. Oh, yes, I see what all the fuss was about. 😮

Stopped tonight (under protest) after S2E6, "The Old Gods and The New." I'd have gladly kept watching but I really need a certain amount of rest.

This after going out last night to a local #trans #meetup group.

OTD in 2009:

I made my first announcement to my closest friends that I was #trans. It was on a social media site known as LiveJournal, which many of you have likely never heard of. I migrated off of that site years ago. You can see that post now on my blog at https://janetannelogan.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/announcement/ . It's no longer locked.

Barbara and I had discussed me making that post in advance, and she was supportive. This was my first attempt at transition. Then in August of 2009, she went back into the hospital, and I detransitioned to be able to care for her. Back then, we feared I wouldn't be able to be with her as Janet. After she passed in 2010, I grieved for a long time. Then I restarted transition and have lived as Janet since.
