This has been a tough week for many in the trans community - especially trans kids - who have seen members of Congress and legislators ridicule and target them. Today and every day, we see you and are fighting right alongside you. You are not alone.

When I was sworn in, I asked two trans youth to be by my side and to hold my bible because I wanted to make clear to any trans kid who was watching:
You may feel alone, but there are elected officials who are standing right beside you every step of the way. You are valued.

We're not going anywhere - transgender people can't be erased with a memo. Post a selfie. Call a friend. Attend our rally tomorrow. Everything to show them that we #WontBeErased
