I mean the idea that "the trans community is unique" in how it responds to folks "just asking questions" is bullshit and revealing because it's pretty normal for folks from all sorts of marginalized groups to identify someone as untrustworthy when that person acts like our lives are up for debate.

We are hostile to anyone being less than supportive because we understand where this two step you're doing into transphobia leads.
And that place you're softly stepping your way towards is full of the bodies of our dead friends, put there by folks just asking questions about our humanity.

Today's Black History fact: The reason vanilla is such an available flavor that we use the word to mean "common" is because a boy born into slavery, Edmond, pioneered the first commercially viable vanilla pollination technique at age 12 in Réunion and it then spread to Madagascar. RIP Edmond Albius.

'Masks are not a problem to be managed. They are a signal that someone understands the environment. Please do not write policies that discourage awareness or normalize preventable harm. Protect their brains. Protect their bodies. And invest in the air they breathe.” '
Proud dad moment.
My freshman daughter is openly masking at school — and wrote about it in her student paper.
In a culture that pressures kids to conform, choosing prevention takes backbone.
This isn’t about fear.
It’s about care.

So I realize that stopping fascism is #1 on the menu, but we must push HARD for Medicare for All.
Our taxes should be for the health and common welfare of the people. Prevention is the best cure.
We don't need another billion dollar bomber. We need billion dollar healthcare.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.
Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

From Stanford to Gallup, nearly every organization that produces good information about anything of importance is in one way or another beholden to federal contracts. They are also deeply connected to elite political and economic networks thorough interlocking directorates and affiliations.
