❤️ WISCONSIN: “I’d like to apologize. My eyes were opened. I’ve learned a very lot about this group of people.”

Larry came to testify against the anti-trans youth health care bill, but had an epiphany and changed his mind.

RFKJr is trying to undermine trust in vaccines. His spreading of disinformation will lead to more deaths. Especially deaths of the most vulnerable among us. Please make sure you are up to date on vaccines.

Self-censorship is how “well-meaning” people/orgs justify abandoning anyone not like them to save their own skins. It rarely works in the long run and hurts other vulnerable people along the way. For shame!
“First they came for trans people but I did not speak up because I am not trans…”
It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump.

To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too.

But we are all in this together.
