Finn got ahold of Red Snek today. He didn't kill it but came close. Electrical tape will hold Red Snek together until I can get a new headset. *sigh*

On this #Transgender Day of Remembrance

Stop and think before you make that "tranny" joke. Stop and think before you point and stare. Stop and think before uttering that rude comment to a friend. These are people just trying to fit their square peg in society's round hole. They are human like you and deserve the common courtesy of a kind word or a smile. Their life could have very tough times that can be eased with kindness. And maybe, just maybe, that smile could save a life.

For the foreseeable future, Reps Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are going to do all they can to harass Sarah McBride. Including repeatedly using her deadname in statements and podcast/radio appearances.

If you're sensitive, avert your eyes.

What cunts!

While #Transgender Day of Remembrance is officially about those we've lost through direct violence, I choose to expand it.

We lose many more Trans people (and other groups) to indirect violence - suicide. Those who choose this option aren't doing so because the world is all sunshine and flowers. Their world and hope has been whittled away until they see no other option but to sleep forever.

Forced micro-dosing of hate & violence can kill you as easily as an asshole with a gun.

For those who followed my waiting room posts from yesterday;

When I was called back to recovery, I had to go past the rude staring people. As I passed I looked right at them and did a little finger wiggle type of wave. I hope they caught the #Transgender cooties!
