People who call themselves "gender critical" seem to think they're being critical thinkers instead of realizing their critical is more akin to parents who verbally & emotionally abuse their kids.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.
Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.
Remember them. And make the world remember them.

This is some nasty work. And on Trans Day of Remembrance no less.
Let's be clear, this isn't about restrooms at all. This is about grinding down the spirit of trans folks and erasing us from public life. It will not, can not continue. And cis folks of good conscience need to gather your folks.

Hey you, buy the precut fruit and veggies, no, I know it’s not cheaper, I can read, but you’re not going to go home and cut them and put them away like you said. You’re actually going to NOT eat them if they’re not pre-cut so you’re actually wasting money. You are welcome, I love you too.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Dear trans folks,
We have lived, thrived, and survived for generations without the cosign of silly politicians. And we will continue. They will never extinguish our light.
Honestly, truly, fuck anyone who tells you that you don't belong.

And they always claim it's for of fiscal reasons. Because somehow wanting money for education, health, and ensuring people have food and shelter is worse than wanting money for war and the wealthy.
We're about a decade in to this weird narrative where apparently centrists will always be driven right by us on the left but are somehow magically never driven left by the far-right.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
