    I had two friends get angry at me (in one case yelling at me, the other storming out of our get together) when I brought up the new regime’s plan to end affirming care and legal recognition for trans folks.

    I’m kind of utterly floored - this is widely available information, and in both cases, they were completely dismissive and outright hostile. And both are folks I’ve known for a pretty long time. One is even a trans woman (albeit a rich Caitlyn Jenner type who is totally divorced from what most trans folks experience).

    It was a really awful way to end the first vacation I’ve had in years. Icing on the cake is I’m also having some kind of allergic reaction and my face looks awful.







  • We need to inspire people.

    This. Exactly this. Non-conservatives haven’t had anyone to vote for for years, only people to vote against. Biden was anyone other than Trump. They thought that would work for Kamala, but here we are.

    Related, when I tried to volunteer for the dems, all they wanted to do was have me make phone calls. I think in got an invite to knock doors like 2 days before the election. I tried to contact people several times to see how I could help energize the base or make sure people were registered and ready to vote. They kept asking me to make calls and send money. Now people like me are going to be directly hurt by these policies, the only question is how much.
