Charlotte, I cannot begin to know what you are feeling but please know you are in the first line of defense for Trans people everywhere. Your humanity is a force for good and so important to the Trans & LGBTQ communities. In all this pain and suffering please try to find your joy and focus on it. We'll all be here supporting you for however long it takes to turn this debacle around. Peace ❤️💔❤️

Charlotte, as the mom of a trans daughter and a caring awake human, I want to envelope you in a virtual hug and say thank you for being you and doing everything you do for trans folk and the entire American community. I wish I could protect both you and my daughter from the evils of this administration and the ignorant people it preys upon (and convinces to spread more hatred). Please know you are loved and appreciated, daily, by your readers, and that we will continue to fight for you. Practice self care and whatever brings you joy in safe spaces with like minded folk, and stay strong 💪

This is a travesty and hurts the hearts of Trans allies. We will fight this administration and their ilk till the bitter end. Sending a warm blanket of comforting vibes.

You are not erased nor erasable. And we ALL must fight.

I’m also not great and had a massive panic attack 8 days ago that is forcing me to reconsider everything that I do as a trans person & advocate. As someone who typically regulates their emotional & mental health well, this is absolutely hell to live through.

Charlotte, my God. I am so sorry that there are so many jerks in the world.

I am behind you for the long haul. (Well, I'm almost 75, so "long" is relative.)

This just breaks my heart. I don't even know what to say. I love you Charlotte and I will stand up and fight for the rights of all transgender people to be who they are and get the care that they need. Please take good care of yourself. We need you.

I knew the leopards were going to start eating faces, but I didn't think Children's Hospital in LA would give up without a fight. Just give right up. It's such a nightmare that I've started having heart problems and vertigo. I don't know how I'm going to get my trans daughter through this. I just don't know. It's like the left has just conceded trans people automatically, without a fight.
