I hate that so much. It's really the culmination of The Right Wing's strategy to kick down. Find the most vulnerable people who are least able to defend themselves, make things worse for them and then continue to blame them for everything. Fucking cowardly bullies.

Solidarity with the trans community is incredibly important in the fight against fascism.

I'm a tall, white, bearded cis guy and I want to be an ally. Is there anything I can do in my day to day to help? I don't have any irl trans friends but I try to be extra polite in my interactions with strangers because I'm really worried that the way I look could put a trans person on edge.

    You would make some girls day if you as a burly man wore a "protect the dolls" shirt while walking in public downtown. I ran into someone from work who had a shirt like that and it instantly made me feel more secure at work. A lot of trans people don't have the option of being invisible so an Ally choosing to be visible can feel like awesome to see

    Unless an opportunity presents itself, just be nice and supportive to any queer and neurodivergent people you may know. Everyone loves good people!

    If you want to be super proactive, go to civil rights protests and get involved in helping vulnerable people like the unhoused. A lot of us struggle with poverty, and injustice for anyone is injustice for all
