It makes me feel physically ill that we have allowed this administration to so boldly fall into malicious attacks against certain groups of people.
When I was a boy I was taught that America was the land of tolerance, a global melting pot of cultures. As a man I understood that was always a lie (what with the history of racism and sexism being pretty damn obvious), but even then I could never imagine us falling this fucking far.
the transphobia was there for nearly a decade before he became the 2nd president, it was getting worst every year since that time. i dare say it, it became problematic in '16 at the same time phobia against other minorities became a thing, and this cause overreactions.
When you were a boy, you were lied to. Same as me.
