I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

Every time, there's a swell of, "Why didn't she come forward for us to scream at her earlier in the process?" She's watched people like you scream at people like her her entire fucking life.

LOUDER You don’t have a right to be a senator. You don’t have a right to a social media following. You don’t have a right to a podcast audience. You don’t have a right to have people choose to have you on a show. If you lose these things bc of your behavior, your rights haven’t been violated.

DUE PROCESS IS FOR THE DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS, NOT FOR THE AWARDING OF MASSIVE POWERS. Nobody has a constitutional right to be a US Senator. You can just decide that you've heard enough, and that the Nazi-curious misogynist with a record of rape and abuse doesn't need to get the keys to the country.
