FUCK OFF YOU ARSEHOLES. There is only so much professionalism, particular as a non-binary, autistic, individual, I can muster at the moment. Stop treating us as if we are "broken" as if we are "wrong". How hard is it to accept us as us? I want to cry at the way we are talked about.

I've gotten up to "Shakaar" in my DS9 rewatch, an episode about a lunatic idiot who gains political power and then crashes her world into civil war because she doesn't understand how anything works but thinks she's brilliant. So anyway, anything happen today?

“The guards often asked flight attendants to heat up the food they brought from home... “They treated us like we were their maids…” “In their eyes, the detainees are not the passengers,” another flight attendant said. “The passengers are the guards. And we’re there for the guards.”

It’s Trans Day of Visibility today, and we’re in an election campaign. I’ll definitely be watching to see who mentions trans folks’ rights and who doesn’t!

There are precedents in American history for this exact move and in some states, you might even still be allowed to learn about them.
