    I'm so over people "not connecting" with characters who aren't like them. You don't need to connect, you need to have empathy and compassion for human beings. Is that too hard.

    Trans rights are human rights, trans women are women, trans men are men, black trans lives matter. Denying someone’s humanity and therefore their worth to live like the rest of society is ugly & violent.

    Remember when the Bush admin. was nearly derailed for how poorly they handled hurricane Katrina relief? Puerto Rico still doesn't have full power, clean water, or fully functioning cities. This is disgraceful. How are we allowing the Trump admin. to get away with this?
