Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

The other night in my dream I was arguing with Bari Weiss because dream Bari Weiss was making fun of my disable brother.
I think this means I've been spending too much time on Bluesky.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
