I’m still trying to process the Trump administration’s latest attack on trans rights and identities. As I read that first article I just felt rage consuming me. I can’t imagine how trans people are feeling right now.
These policies solve no problem. They avert no danger. They balance no budget. They help no individual or group. They do not serve any governmental function.
It’s just pure concentrated hate for hate’s sake.
I wish I had more hopeful words that could help alleviate people’s fear. All I can say is that I support everyone who may be harmed by what may come. I offer my voice and my love.
Sometimes the most difficult trials birth the most promising futures. If we can win this battle now, perhaps fewer people will have to struggle to be accepted.
This fight should not be necessary. But hatred is the tool of the weak. Your strength is legion. We can prevail.
