To all lgbtq people too:

To my transgender allies, I see you.

I am sorry that you continue to be subject to a hateful President, a hateful, an unaccepting Supreme Court, and a hateful, cowardly Republican Congress. You are as human and as valuable as anyone and I honor every part of your identity.

I think many millions of us have mumbled versions of that, through gritted teeth, since we first got to know him.

It’s scary to think what else he might actually get away with in the next several months. He’ll still have the “amen chorus” in power until/unless we vote Democrats back into the majority in November. Even ONE house of Congress would slow things down. But I’m hoping we get both the House and Senate in November, and then the White House also, two years later.

Stop with the hate and bigotry! Don’t condone violence. Just let people live their lives as they see fit.

Peace ☮️
