Fuck every single anti-trans defender, enabler, and hater. Parker, you are loved and needed and very much appreciated.

Of the many meaningful points you make, I'm holding onto this one particularly: "[Y]ou can think, "Oh wow, think these people are totally deluded!" and still understand that trans people, like all people, deserve legal protections and the ability to participate in the world for who they are."

Daily I am "forced" to interact, tolerate, and even humor the vast swath of humanity who are convinced that an all-loving, all-powerful deity not only exists, but is intimately concerned with where one's car keys got off to. They deserve legal protections (and even enjoy extra ones). But if I were to start advocating for the end of xtianism, it would rightly be construed as bigotry.

Trans people have the right to exist. You have the right to exist in peace.

Thanks for writing this Parker 💜 I’m so so sorry this is the way things are right now, that identities are being labeled an “ideology” how sickening that it seems to be taking root. My ideology is "I love and accept my kids" my activism is "please stop bullying my kids" that's it. They're the radical activist ideologues with a regressive agenda, I just want them to leave us alone. Please. Feel free to think in your heart of hearts that I am a “child abuser” who is taking advantage of my child’s “mental illness” to what win the woke awards or some shit?? But please stop leveraging the power of the state to make my child and my community less safe. The past year ramping up it doesn’t feel like genocide is an exaggeration, and Knowles has clinched it with the quiet part out loud.
