I am horrified but not surprised that soulless vultures are using an unspeakable school shooting to attack the transgender community. I feel it’s important to stand strongly in support of the many many wonderful transgender people I am lucky to know, and denounce this false outrage.

I’m fine with politicians who are good at riling up the people I don’t like, but if they don’t support trans people, I won’t support them at the ballot box.
