Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Just messaged a local business I've been to before to let them know that because they're having a Harry Potter themed event, they've shown they are not a queer friendly place and they've lost my business. May be screaming into the void but I'll know that at least I tried. There's just no excuse.
