Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Sending love and solidarity to all trans+ people and those who have lost a trans+ loved one through violence or state oppression and neglect.
And a special thought for those who will have taken their lives without ever disclosing their trans identity.

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist
JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:
“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”

The reason you don't give ground on trans rights - beyond the simple morality of it being wrong to do so - is because you don't give ground on rights period, and if you're willing to let it slide for one marginalized group it means everyone else is just a matter of price
First they came for the socialists etc. What if they came for some really small marginalized group of people (0.05% of population), and because we tied ourselves in knots trying to keep everyone happy, we never got into power, and never achieved anything.
