John,

As it’s Pride month, we wanted to say again something we have been saying for years, and regardless of the time of year: abortion rights and trans rights are inextricable. The fight for one is, and must be, the fight for another.

Reproductive rights activists must stand up and unequivocally fight back against the horrific assault on the rights of trans individuals. The fight for full bodily autonomy and freedom connects us all.

As we monitor and rally against anti-abortion legislation making its way through governments and courts in the wake of the Dobbs decision, we must ask ourselves, are we doing the same for the deluge of anti-trans bills and proposals? And, more importantly, are we doing enough?

We commit to the fight for all to be in control of decisions about their own bodies. Donate to help with this fight.

From connecting how anti-trans activist claims about ‘de-transitioning’ echo their same claims about the myth of ‘abortion regret’ to using our social media platforms to call out anti-trans bigots (and then call out Twitter when they try to censor it!), we are committed to the fight for bodily freedom for all.

This fight requires longevity. Give today to support that.

Sincerely,

Shireen Shakouri
Deputy Director, Reproaction

P.S. Celebrate Pride this month by donating to say bodily autonomy is for everyone. Reproductive rights and trans rights must be fought for side by side.
