Don't tell us if you voted for Trump. Just kidding... or am I? I'm just saying the church is a safe space because I will unalive you. When I went down to Austin with some other drag queens to protest Greg Abbott, I was disappointed he wouldn't stand up and fight me. Honestly, I think the easiest thing to do with the money we raise is take away his wheelchair ramps so he can't access the floor.

Some carry hate. We carry the largest trans pride flag to ever be flown in a national park and unfurled it on the side of El Cap to prove a point that trans is natural. Trump administration and transphobes would love to have you believe that being trans is unnatural, but species that can transition sexes can be found on every continent and in every ocean on planet Earth. So call it a protest. Call it a celebration. We are bringing elevation to liberation. They try to erase us from government websites and education systems and libraries, So we raised this flag higher than ever before so every trans person knows that they have people that love them in their corner. The people united will never be defeated.

I appreciate the opportunity to speak tonight, despite your attempts to prevent it. In just 60 seconds, I want to address a concerning issue. I believe that by imposing certain ideologies on impressionable children, such as the idea that boys can be girls and vice versa, you are endangering their safety, privacy, and the truth itself. Education must be grounded in truth to be valuable, and I see your actions as harmful. It seems you silence opposing views because you lack a valid argument. However, we will not be silenced. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to further discussions.

I am Karadansky, the President of the US Chapter of Declaration International. We are here in San Francisco to support the rights of women and girls, specifically lesbians. We believe in using the liberal state to protect ourselves and are grateful to be here on this beautiful day.

If you refuse to accept trans individuals because you are cisgender, you are a transphobe. Your prejudices need to be examined if this statement angers you. Regardless of your reasons, reducing us to our bodies is unsophisticated and disrespectful. While I understand trauma can be difficult to heal from, it doesn't excuse transphobia. We won't let you off the hook. Remember, we are human beings, not just our sexual organs. This message is directed towards cisgender lesbians as well.

I'm a straight white guy from Mississippi, but that doesn't define my capability to serve in the military. Harvey Milk, a navy diver, was discharged for being gay, and we lost valuable talent because of that. Now, transgender service members face similar exclusion. No one should be barred from defending this country for being who they are, nor should anyone have to hide their identity to serve. You face discrimination that I can't fully understand, but I recognize you as true patriots.

All legislation restricts freedom for the common good. Our constitution balances rights with the common good. If your views on others' identities make their lives unsafe and cause deep discomfort, it is our duty as legislators to restrict those freedoms.

We won't let fear win. Trans and drag have always been part of our world. Queer people are our coworkers, siblings, parents, and family. Drag is art, culture, educational, creative, and comedy. It's not a crime. I'm Scarlett Bobo, thank you. Translation: We will not allow fear to prevail. Transgender individuals and drag performers have always existed in our world. They are our colleagues, siblings, parents, and family members. Drag is considered art, culture, educational, creative, and comedic, but it is not a criminal act. My name is Scarlett Bobo, and I appreciate your time.

To all queer and trans youth, know that you are deeply loved and supported in this fight. We stand by your side every step of the way.

We will not let fear win. A world without trans people or drag has never existed and never will. Queer individuals have always been part of our lives—they are our coworkers, family, and friends. Drag is an essential form of art and culture; it is educational, creative, and comedic. Importantly, drag is not a crime. Thank you for your time.

If you corner a wild animal, they become dangerous. I dare anyone to stop me from using a women's bathroom or prevent a transgender woman from doing the same. This is a call to action for those in the US who are scared or have LGBTQ+ children. Arm yourselves, buy guns, and learn to use them. We need to protect ourselves and our transgender brothers and sisters, as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community. I would die for my girlfriends to ensure their safety and freedom. So go ahead, protect your kids.

I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't. If you're afraid of Trump, know that trans people will make this a very unsafe space if you don't protect them. How many of my friends need to die before you do anything? Remember Black History Month and recognize our existence despite what's coming from Washington. Be aware you are a guest in my house when you come into my classroom with strong queer and trans people who will collect you quickly. We need to fight back against fascism and corruption. If federal money relies on the dehumanization of trans people, we don't want it. Some of you care more about easy funding than trans lives. I'm speaking in support of agenda items 10 b and 14 b because Trump is threatening the trans and gender diverse community. Make Westborough a sanctuary city for trans people. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

I want to understand your views on transgenderism. Well, historically, the body is tied to who you are. Transgender ideology is a form of Gnosticism that says your body doesn't matter. This is false, leading to the deprivation of women's rights, rapes, and the loss of sports competitions and scholarships. It also causes anxiety, depression, and suicide. Those rape cases are from cis men. As a Black trans woman, I'm not a threat. It's harmful to weaponize rhetoric against trans people. We exist, even if you deny it. If my child came out as trans, I'd tell them the truth: they're not really the gender they identify as. You'll reduce this to genitalia. Those bathroom rapes aren't committed by trans women, but cis men. There's no such thing as a trans woman. I'm looking at one right now. You don't have any talking points. In 2018 there were two rapes in bathrooms and one in Wisconsin, one in Georgia, but by cis men. The translady doth protest too much, me thinks.

Drag is an ancient art form that allows for creativity and self-expression. 6 Degrees is supporting the ACLU Drag Defense Fund to amplify voices facing injustice. You can help by shopping our bonfire campaign or making a donation. Designed by Mason Kaye, Kira and I are proud to support this cause and encourage you to do the same.

Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with unending love, so that our words may honor God. I believe performing gender is a learned behavior we're all exposed to. As drag evolves, it could be defined as a challenge to the fragile framework of gender performance needed to maintain power. From birth, the drag show might begin as we project cultural expectations onto a child, shaping behaviors through shame or affirmation based on how well they perform gender. This profoundly affects our imagination, self-worth, and how we relate to the world.

I attended the protest with Queers for Palestine as a trans, non-binary person. I strongly believe in the freedom of all individuals. It is important to acknowledge that queer people exist in Palestine and that there is a phenomenon of pinkwashing occurring. It is unjust to exclude queer Palestinians from the situation in Palestine. I stand here in solidarity with all Palestinians, as the current situation is deeply disturbing.

There's a saying in the queer community: be gay, do crime. This means to be transgressive and acknowledge that decision-makers have created rules that criminalize our survival and our existence.

I'm Senator John Fetterman, standing before my office, representing my core values. I'm unapologetically pro-military and pro-LGBTQ communities. There was a time when desegregating the military, women serving in combat roles, and who one loves were controversial. I encourage honoring the inherent dignity of individual identity. I'm choosing to stand with and defend the trans community now, even if it's unpopular. I'm calling to rescind discriminatory executive orders and honor the inherent dignity of every soldier, regardless of race, gender, love, or identification. This makes for a military that's fully compatible with being lethal and winning wars.

There is a lot of trans hate in the world, and it's frustrating. Pride means being happy to be alive. The hate mostly comes from the government and from within ourselves. The speaker believes that the hate comes from self-perception and thinks that the ideology promoted is harmful. They speak up against it because they believe that people who transition are attention seekers. They want the spotlight back and play the victim. Stay true, my friends.

We came to this public square for a peaceful protest to share what we believe society needs: the removal of the craziness surrounding multiple genders, because there are only two. We were greeted with hostility by the rainbow community. Some of our guys have bruises and cuts, but the police did nothing about the physical harm we experienced, even refusing to take details for a complaint. Young women also tried to harm our men, and while we didn't touch them, they blocked our access to a community space. We believe that if you have gender confusion, keep it at home. Public spaces should be free for all, with no priority to any one conversation. We should have been able to enter peacefully.

If we don't speak up against this nonsense, we'll lose women's rights, sororities, and our safety. We shouldn't have to expose ourselves to perverted men or surrender to this madness. Let's find our voices, ladies, and the men who support us. Otherwise, this will be our future. We can support trans people without compromising our own well-being.

We humans are capable of incredible things, yet in 2023, when someone identifies as trans or non-binary, it often sparks fear and anger. Trans people are simply human, deserving of the freedom to be themselves without fear or hatred. When allowed to express our true selves, we can shine brilliantly. It's essential to show kindness and compassion, embracing visibility and understanding. Let us be who we are without fear.

I need the city to protect me because the federal government won't. If you're afraid of Trump, prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space. How many of my friends need to die before you do anything? Remember Black History Month and that you are a guest in my house. My name in drag is Didi Delight, and out of drag is Dewey Cosgrove Batienza. I'm Laddie LaRouge. My legal name is Olivia D'Ambrosio, and public name is Libby Scanlon. I'm always misgendered and afraid to use public toilets. Imagine fearing our marriage rights being stripped away. Does covering legal fees for police brutality matter more than protecting queer lives? If federal money relies on dehumanizing trans people, we don't want it. I'm here to impart my sour grapes. Trump is threatening the trans community. Make Westborough a sanctuary city for trans people, and don't call someone "it." The kids are watching, and we're ready to vote you out.
