"because we are no longer considered to literally to be a part of this population. We are looked at as aliens ...
And so this is why we need trans media. We need queer media to cover these stories, cover the good, cover the bad, so people know what is actually happening to our community members."

It's 2025 and this is no longer democracy. This is a dictatorship and any news outlets that are heavily covering trans stories, whether good or positive will be targeted by this White House administration. So that's why you no longer see the deaths, even though they would report you are correct, Katelyn would have.

usually report like, another trans woman was murdered or this trans person was, but they have stopped reporting that because we are no longer considered to literally to be a part of this population. We are looked at as aliens, so to speak. ⁓ and so they don't care if, if we are murdered, if we are attacked, if we are raped, if we are beaten, they don't care. And so this is another way for them to push us into the background for us not to be seen or our stories not to be heard.

And so this is why we need trans media. We need queer media to cover these stories, cover the good, cover the bad, so people know what is actually happening to our community members. Like, I don't, it's not talked about, but they are, I say, picking up our trans brothers, sisters, and in between every day, every day. But that's not being talked about.

this is one of the reasons why i launched Burns Notice. The editorial shackles are off in what I can cover there because I'm the one making the editorial calls. it's not perfect because i am not going to be able to do reporting that would potentially open me up to legal liability but it's not bad.

I'd love to hear theories on how the legislative branch can one day seize back all of this power they've voluntarily given up over the last 3 decades.
