Seeking your opinions and comments on a PSA type of document I have drafted

Hi team,

I've put together a public resource I'd love your eyes on before it goes wide.

"Beyond the Binary" is a three-page public safety handout designed for our communities — LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, advocates, and anyone who needs clear, factual guidance right now. It addresses the federal government's increasingly aggressive use of counterterrorism language against LGBTQ+ and especially transgender people, and translates that into practical, actionable information people can actually use.

It covers:

• What the government documents actually say — and what the facts show

• How the language of "extremism" and "terrorism" is being deployed, and why it matters

• Concrete steps to protect yourself digitally, legally, and civically

• Know Your Rights guidance if you are ever questioned

• Key organizations and resources

I'm seeking your feedback before I share it broadly — across community platforms, organizational networks, my Substack, and LinkedIn. The goal is for this to be genuinely useful and shareable: something people forward, post, and print.

The PDF is attached. Please take a look and send me your thoughts — edits, additions, anything that doesn't land right, or communities or resources you think are missing.

Thank you for everything you do.

Danielle
