People keep telling me 47 won’t be so bad, that Democrats will immobilize him, ensuring he is a lame duck president. But… trans kids will always be Republicans’ low hanging fruit and Democrats first concession. See: National Defense Authorization Act’s (NDAA) healthcare exclusions for trans youth.

Fascists aren't just going after trans folks cause they hate trans ppl. They know for a fact that liberals won't risk anything real to protect trans ppl making it an easy way to legally accumulate power to use on everyone else. This is them sharpening their blade on them for y'all.

Holidays can be hard. Being misgendered and deadnamed during the holidays is harder. If someone you care about has new-to-you pronouns, start practicing now. Pro tip: practice telling stories about them using their pronouns, when you are alone. I do this when driving.
