Everyone deadnaming Caitlyn Jenner because she's a Trump supporting ghoul who ran someone over with her car

This sentiment feels very poignant rn. The work continues, but remember to breath. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️ Women deserve autonomy No one should be illegal on stolen land. Protect the water. And do not succumb.
