Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

This idea has been circulating online that if there is violence at a protest, the non-violent people should sit down to distinguish themselves. In case you thought this was a viable tactic, DON'T DO THIS. Stay standing and mobile. Your ability to move is your best asset in a protest.
