Those in power hate losing control. That’s why bodily autonomy, sexual freedom, critical thinking, accurate history, and religious diversity are all their go-to boogymen.

Trans folk are just one of the more recent groups to be targeted.

I’ve known four out trans people. One was a piece of shit. The other three turned out to be amazing and empathetic people who all made my life better just by knowing them.

It turns out, when you deal with people being entitled jerks to you all day, that tends to make you a better person. Forged in fire and all that.
