Another trans person here. Wasn't born here. Neither was my wife. I didn't ask to be brought to this country as a child. I'd love to be able to leave.

I have spent my entire adult life voting in every single election and working toward making this a more bearable place for myself and others. A minority of this country is happy with what is happening. A minority.

A larger portion of Americans are actively doing what they can to push back, but fascists have had decades to enshrine themselves into every foundation of this country. It's not a matter of protesting hard enough or voting hard enough. There is a lot of work to do and those of us who have been doing it the whole time still are.

This victim-blaming bullshit has got to stop.
