I actually laughed out loud at this assessment. Pretty sure this is not how it went, but... bah, take my upvote.
Closeted trans person here. The fact that so many of you have dared to live as yourselves, and to keep fighting in the face of increasing odds, is the reason I'm still here.
Never underestimate just how much it means for the world that you exist, as you are.

Also: https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won/ gonna stop spamming this link now, but MAN it's infuriating that noone even considers this. They've been doing voter suppression for decades, how hard is it to connect the dots?
