No trans person, parent of a trans child or trans ally should be saying ANYTHING to a reporter from the institutionally-transphobic Vichy New York Times except "fuck off."
heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

This is what Schumer is doing with the time he has left. Not stacking the judiciary or protecting a free press from government surveillance. Instead belong conservative Christian nationalists enforce a racist anti-Palestinian and frankly antisemitic definition of antisemitism.

LinkedIn has the most deranged suggestions. Like why would I want to follow Suze Orman, Mickey Morandini, or Ryan Reynolds?
