I need to know what happened! Don’t tease me, God!

Fingers crossed!

If any of you see the value in this, I’d love if you would share. I’m trying to create a movement to show the beauty and humanity of the transgender community. Thank you. ❤️

You misspelled “guillotine.” Pretty sure that can be used as a verb…

absolutely rolling with laughter as he listened to the story, with a massive smile on his face.

Representation matters! And it’s never too early (or too late!) to learn empathy. ❤️

like every day for their Spanish-speaking classmates.

Not only have they been wonderfully good sports about it, and enjoyed the experience, but it’s been truly heartwarming to see the Hispanic kids fully enjoying the story in ways they usually don’t. I had one little boy (who is usually so quiet)

But for today, I will also cry. Because my heart is truly shattered.

I have never felt so helpless.

I will do what I can to fight the good fight. I will do what I must to protect my family, and the people I love. I will ease suffering where I can, and push back against the blatant hate and fascism rising in our country.

My country, the country I grew up in, the country I was so proud of in my youth, literally hates me and everyone I love. They want my child dead; & my family torn apart, as well as the families of the people I love. They want all Americans everywhere to be poor, uneducated, complacent, and broken.

They want to criminalize the love and support my husband and I give to our child, and make it impossible for him to exist at all.

They want to tear apart beautiful LGBTQIA+ families.

I have aged years these past two weeks. I have never in my life felt so exhausted, so heartbroken, so angry.

They want to reimplement racist practices in hiring, housing, and everywhere else, so the odds are stacked even higher against minorities than they already have been.

They want trans kids, like my son, to be violently shoved back in the closet - even if that means they die in the process.

They want women to give birth to as many children as possible, whether they want them or not, or literally die trying.

They want kids to go hungry at school if their parents can’t afford lunches. And they want to gut the education those students receive.

I live in a country where the people in charge want the sweet Hispanic children at my school to be thrown out of the country, out of their homes, and don’t care if they’re separated from their families in the process.

It was so weird, I just suddenly recognized how much heartbreak I was feeling, and all at once, I was sobbing. One of those gasping, wretched, devastated sobs that shakes your whole body and makes you scream even as it chokes you.
