i manage the website for the shop, and we had to cut down on new wholesale orders for the sale of the store, which gave me a lot less to do. but new stuff should be coming in again this month. the time for hours of data entry is nigh!

I am writing about this today. Transphobe logic is that trans people only have rights *until* they come into conflict with a cis person. And not just a cis person's legally defined rights, but a cis person's comfort or emotions (which are discretionary and not legally protected).
