Been fretting about this, and struggling with what to write here that could possibly change hearts and minds. As a person of cisgender privilege who keeps himself very busy, it is seductively easy to just cross my fingers and hope for the best when it comes to the societal trajectory of minority rights. But it makes me sick, and scared, to see our current administration explicitly condoning this kind of discrimination. Where is the compassion for fellow human beings? And why is it so hard to believe the science that overwhelmingly refutes the notion of immutable and infallible binary biology-aligned gender from birth? Are Republican priorities (building border walls, “saving” the unborn, growing the economy at any ecological cost) really more important than cultivating a society of mutual love, respect and tolerance?
