they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

This world is so full of beautiful variety. One of the joys of life is becoming ever more sensitive to delightful differences. How dull and mind-less must be the lives of those who cannot see this. And those who fear it and seek to destroy it are truly cursed.

Those people hate themselves so much that they can’t stand to see anyone become happy with who they are meant to be.

Who gets their sex ed from school tho? Like are there actually kids out there who trust their school authority? I didn't. I got my sex ed from Deviant Art and Fur Affinity.

They can erase it. That's why trans Americans need to raze Washington DC, and dox the fascist pigs.

Now after the shooting they are talking about setting up a government group to look into connections between trans people and violence. They are demonizing trans people. What about the connection between far right white males and violence? They won’t stop until they demonize all minorities.

Trans, NB and Intersex folks have always been here, and you all will outlive Trump and his cronies. Fight back. Get the truth out there. Be louder than the politicians and talking heads on the internet.

They liken us to cockroaches, so let's see how they deal with us being twice as hard to destroy as cockroaches.

Well, this kind of crap is also such a waste of energy and dumb. What do they think they will accomplish? Erasing those things from existence? Nothing will disappear and be lost. It (that lifestyle) will all just go underground again for a time, until it can re-emerge again, after the hate thugs go

I'm sharing this. For I PROUDLY stand with the Trans Community. And always will. For Trans Rights are and will always be Human Rights. All Transphobes are Domestic Terrorists they should be jailed. Everyone who reads this and is a Trans Ally or Trans, take the best of care. #TransRights 🏳️⚧️

I'm scared for the Trans Community as a Cis person, this is why I'm speak up! Please do share ALL this thread and take action for we must speak for Trans people OFTEN. All Transphobes are inhumanely EVIL ghouls! Deaths of Kids should NEVER be politicised for such an evil gain.

I think they believe that if they stop talking about LGBTQIA people, we are all going to simply stop existing and there won’t be any new ones because they aren’t talked about. Ignoring the fact that we have been here the whole time, whether we are talked about or not.
