Welcome to my corner.

You ALL are gems.

Self-care is very important.

Have a teaser treat in the form of an email subject sent out a week ago.

someone: oh so i take it you like What We Do In The Shadows?

They no longer have to read you your Miranda rights. If you are stopped or arrested by police, the most important thing you can do is ask for an attorney and stay quiet. You can memories your rights down below, but staying silent is also an option. Do not answer any questions, do not respond to them at all.

If you are going to a riskier event (i.e. more potential for police intervention) bring lots of water, and heat resistant gloves. There is a high chance they will throw tear gas at you. You can douse it with water or throw it away from the crowd with the gloves.

Do not engage any pro lifers you come across. The police are looking for any sign to engage. Do not yell at them, do not touch them, stay a good distance away.

Make sure at least one good friend/family member knows where you are and has the numbers for local jails and hospitals. Keep emergency contacts on you (but not visible).

Now that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and The White House have finalized new nondiscrimination provisions under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, it is more important than ever to know your rights and what to do if you face discrimination. 

To better explain what these protections mean, Out2Enroll partnered with trans comic artist, Dylan Edwards, on a series of illustrated discrimination situations.
