      So quick thread about yesterday. When I woke up, the last thing I expected was a scotus victory for the millions of people who worked so hard for dignity and equality and justice. And a day after 15,000 people marched to say #BlackTransLivesMatter. I also felt maybe a little off?

      I thought of Pauli Murray, the legal genius who fought to get the sex provision into the 1964 Civil Rights Act. She said that it “is exceedingly difficult for a Negro woman to determine whether or not she is being discriminated against because of race or sex.”

      She didn’t live to see the recognition that the same provision protected the rights and humanity of queer people like her — today she might have identified as trans or queer. At 1:26pm I strategically placed some Murray books behind me for this hit.pic.twitter.com/SerTEgC39n

      Anyway, by sunset it became clear: my baby had been waiting for a marginally better world to make her appearance. She was born at 10:23pm and so far so good. Grateful to everyone who helps make this world that much less cruel.pic.twitter.com/lyhdwJR26k
