Self care Saturday, July 29: What I hear when you say “basic biology”


Damn ess jay doubleyoos:

All joking aside: Trans readers, you’ve been through hell this week. Even if you’re not American you’ve been exposed to a firehose of rhetoric discussing your disposability. And I know if I am so, so done with cis people turning me into a kickball that I’m not likely alone. I want every cis person dispassionately arguing that I deserve no healthcare, that I’m too expensive, that I’m not worth enough, I want them to feel, for just a fraction of a second, the pain and fear we have to deal with just to leave the god damn house.

I will not have my value debated. I will not stand to see yours questioned either. Take a break. Vent here.

-Shiv

    First they came for the transgendered people…

    Quite an accomplishment, when you think about it, for such a minute fraction of the population to stand atop the scapegoat list when the tweetmonkey reaches for a red-flag distraction from his own fuckups. This speaks volumes about the insecurities of Trump Chumps.

    That joke is a very good answer to a question that has no reason to be asked in the first place.
