The shock and outrage they feel at ridiculous and oppressive laws is very valid and unfortunately all too familiar for those of us in the transgender community.

It would also be nice if cis people with platforms actually spoke out publicly for a change and didn’t just message their trans friends privately to say that it sucks but keep quiet otherwise to avoid losing their newspaper columns

Don't argue with them about due process. Quote the Constitution.

Betrayal by the people closest to you sucks. But there's something freeing about not being able to count on anyone but yourself. It's a hard lesson I've had to learn many times over.

I was the weird feminine kid growing up, but I literally had multiple people, including my own brother, tell me that they had lost a "role model for healthy masculinity" when I came out. That felt a little weird. My mask never slipped once I learned to conform as a teenager. This really resonated

Innocent until proven guilty. So yes, he's an innocent husband and father. Unlike your boss, who is a convicted felon that belongs in prison.

EXACTLY. When it ws targeted towrd maj Black ppl, white America had no prob w/ it😶 The practice isn’t new; those targeted & the extremes to which it is being practiced hve expanded😶 But as in all things negatively & disproportionately impacting Black ppl in U.S., THAT #FACT is ignored/disappeared

Getting old is when your doctor prescribes you a new medicine that says "Take with food," but you already have a full breakfast of other pills. 🙃

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

*taps mic* Hey Millenials! You know what we're not gonna do? We're not gonna fucking watch that new HBO Harry Potter show because R*owling is a reprehensible human/transphobe/acephobe and we're not giving her money. Okay? OKAY?! Yes, I mean *you*. Also read a different book. Hell, *write* one.

There's a reason no one has ever been released from the prison in El Salvador. And it's not because the people inside are guilty. It's because Bukele doesn't want anyone knowing what goes on inside. So once you're in, for literally any reason (or not reason at all), you're never coming out.

Trump’s State Department found no evidence linking Rumeysa Ozturk to antisemitic activity or terrorism, but ICE snatched her off the street and dispatched her to a prison 1,000 miles away with no hearing. This is a hallmark of fascist regimes and utterly incompatible with Due Process.

It's dark. I'm a kid in the backseat, while my parents bicker at each other in the front seat and the bridge is out ahead. I'm screaming silently but nobody hears me. Powerless to avert the tragedy. This recurring nightmare plays itself out every day during my waking hours.

1,100 pieces against trans people in just 4 papers over 1 year. Almost 1 a day per paper. With absolutely no recourse at all. Is it any wonder that trans people are both angry and terrified?
