amidst all this, the only trans member of congress is getting slurred and deadnamed in front of congress and it’s being posted all over RW internet
danifroom.bsky.social Danielle Froom 🏳️‍🌈 @danifroom.bsky.social · 13d
In the last 3 days, the Supreme Court ruled trans people have (again!) lost access to valid passports, a federal district court legalized bullying against (only!) trans kids, and Cornell University joined the growing number of colleges agreeing to discriminate/ban trans people. When is it enough??
