On this, the annual Transgender Day Of Remembrance, I ask the Allies among us to help.
Don't sit idly by while a trans person is harassed, bullied, or attacked. Don't turn a deaf ear to insults, misgendering, or bigoted speech.
Please say something. Please do something.
You could save a life.
I work in the public schools and can verify this to be mostly true. There are still way too many bigots out there, but they are declining in numbers with this younger generation.
