If we could just take a fucking breath and admit "our kids are people, we don't get to decide who they are," and stop using "BUT THE CHILDREN" as a reason to attack trans people, and autistic people, and whoever else we've decided not to like, that would be cool.

A) occasionally if someone writes something and I have a question they answer it
B) if someone writes something I really like they see me say, "Thanks I really enjoyed that."
