Hey. I'm concerned about the wording in one of your World AIDS Day posts. "HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects men who have sex with men, particularly MSM of color, and trans women." This wording seems to imply that trans women are men who have sex with other men. I think it would lose that implication if you listed trans women first.

Hey! Thanks for that catch. That was certainly not my intention; language around HIV is tricky, and the HHS isn’t great about setting an example. I changed it to “HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects trans women, as well as men who have sex with men, particularly MSM of color.”

When you get this ask, list 5 things that make you happy then pass it on to the last 10 people who reblogged from you!

Hanging with friends and family, walking on a nice day either by myself or with family, playing video games with friends or my sister, having a good night sleep, and watching my favourite youtubers. I’ll tag and message the people who I’m passing this on too :)
