It feels like constant whiplash; every day there’s something new.

People have this thought about Nazi Germany of, “How could people ever let it get that bad? Why didn’t anyone stop it?”
Take a look at America right now, this is how it happens.
Imagine if the whole of the country emphatically condemned the North Carolina bathroom ban; drew a line in the sand saying that trans people are deserving of the same rights, protection, and dignity that anyone should have.
“It doesn’t affect me.”
“You’re not in North Carolina, why do you care?”
“uuugh, you’re being so sensationalist.”
This is yet another step on the path of transgender genocide that America has already been traveling, and the general population thinks it’s ok.
I say they think it’s ok because most folks aren’t screaming at the top of their lungs drawing attention to it. If you saw a fire spreading in your building, you’d call 911, you wouldn’t wait for it to become a blazing inferno first.
The fire is spreading in the United States, why are you waiting to say something?
“You know, people like you are the reason Trump won,” a family member told me in 2024.
That family member is still watching the inferno blaze, and even hosts the people who set the flame.
Yeah, people like me.
