It's Trans Day of Remembrance. I don't know a single trans person who hasn't lost another trans person in their circle. Please hold them in your hearts today, even if their names are new to you.

And remember all of us who are out here, doing the best we can.

That has to be one of the most entertaining deliberations I've ever seen on #TheChallenge. So many previous storylines colliding in the most chaotic way possible
