Sky-high sin taxes for guns and ammo. Exorbitant license and permitting fees. Require frustrating bureaucratic hurdles. Make it fiscally difficult to own, use, and sell them to limit both the supply and demand of weapons.

The reason that trans people aren't willing to make "reasonable concessions" isn't that we don't know how to compromise (we have been compromising our whole lives), it is because the call for concessions comes from a paradigm that invalidates who we are.

As part of today's action pushing the Democratic Party to not throw trans people under the bus, I... wrote about Brideshead Revisited. I PROMISE IT MAKES SENSE.

To be sure, one should never count on rainbow capitalism or fictional Hollywood queers to save the day, but the existence of both served as a reminder that queer people were part of the fabric of American life. I agreed with right-wing gasbag Andrew Breitbart about very little, but I do think he was right when he said that politics is downstream of culture. What is happening right now is an attack on a culture that had by and large accepted queer people by a small rump of angry assholes who, nevertheless, seem to be winning more battles than not.
