There's throwing trans women under the bus, and then there's deliberately and explicitly driving the bus over them.

Inexplicable. Inexcusable. Unconscionable.

it's been three months since we got back from this trip and the single thing that sticks out most vividly in my dad's memory was our tour guide in Bulgaria telling us his country had 9 million people in 1989 and has 6.5 million people now

no thanks
