It’s more horrifying, on a different level of horror, than the things we’re horrified about, though they are more lasting and more scary for us personally.
It's like a horror i can't take in because what can I do about it in the immediate term vs the horrors in DC which feels like we need to collectively do something
It seems to me we can’t do anything to make it better. We must donate to his family, and support trans people as much as possible. It is much too horrible to comprehend. I can already tell I won’t ever forget about it as long as I live.
Yeah I'm not saying there's been no coverage, I mean it more in a zeitgeist way. And for once I'm not being critical of coverage exactly. It's more a commentary on how bad things are
Maybe. I hope you’re right. But it’s also a big factor of transphobia against trans men particularly that violence against us is buried and obfuscated, and quickly forgotten. I truly appreciate you talking about him.

Like I'm not even blaming anyone we're all triaging
