Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot.
She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor
Update from Miss Major's partner: "Miss Major is at home on hospice. She is comfortable and surrounded by love."
Donations and good wishes still needed. Anything above and beyond the needs of her care will go to continuing Miss Major's legacy through Oasis, the retreat for trans people she built.
More details here: Stonewall Veteran Miss Major Griffin-Gracy Has Entered Hospice Care
"I would want my legacy to be: If it ain’t right, fucking fix it, whatever it takes,” Miss Major Griffin-Gracy said. “I’d want to be remembered for trying to do the right thing and care for all people.”

trans people : if you're trying to raise money for food or afford gender affirming surgery , feel free to share all the ways people can donate
My sweet wife Marissa just used her last dose of estradiol that we have and we could use some support in affording her next refill. You can support us on PayPal here, or you can buy a copy of her gorgeous book we've recently self-published here!

Her name is Theresa Kachindamoto, and she is a senior chief - political leader of a region with a population of about 900,000 people.
She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.
So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.
She’s not just an anonymous do-gooder; she’s an effective political leader despite incredibly difficult circumstances. Theresa Kachindamoto.

Below the text is a picture of Theresa Kachindamoto. She is a dark skinned woman with short hair. She is outside and smiling. End ID]
got worried checking the dates on this post and seeing 2016, knowing how risky this kind of political activism is
good news: Kachindamoto is still in office, and last year (2024) she received honorary doctorates from 2 universities and was given the African Genius Award 🙏
