As I think again about what the MSM would have done to, say, a Nancy Pelosi who was this unaware of anything that was happening in the nation. We would have had waves of nonstop articles about the worst speaker in history until she resigned.

This is one thing I’m grateful to the show Pose for covering in detail because so many have been lucky to have not lived it, but don’t understand what everyone can be (and is being) returned to. I’m *so* sorry for all your losses.

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

it would be nicer if we all lived in a world of debate club where everyone was free to express their opinions and never lied about their intentions or behaved in bad faith but that's not the world we live in and it is important to deal with reality as it is, not as we want it to be
