I have escaped from domestic violence. The domestic violence was not just contained to the home, but also involved weaponization of systems. I hope to do a fuller accounting of what happened one day to bring light to this problem. For now, here is my "Thank You" note to Joe Biden & the VAWA.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. As we remember and honor the lives lost to hateful violence and stigma, we are in court to defend the rights of our trans civil servants—the people who work for all of us and who should be treated w basic dignity and humanity. @democracyforward.org @aclu.org
