Are you frustrated because you don't have good rebuttals to anti-trans rhetoric?
Are you always like DAMN, I should have said *this!*
NEVER FEAR!!

Attorney General Matt Gaetz's "not involved in sex trafficking" T-shirt has a lot of people at his confirmation hearing asking questions already answered by his shirt.

How I am living:
▪️I am sleeping with my remaining siblings in an old dilapidated house.
▪️The house has broken windows and doors!
▪️There is no electricity, no water and even no kitchen or bathroom.
▪️There is a toilet used by four families —about 45 people!
▪️We do not have beds or even mattresses.
▪️We sleep on the ground.
▪️Each one has a very thin blanket, which started to be useless by the start of winter’s cold spells!
▪️We do not have billows!
▪️Some of my children have to carry water for a long distance and some go outdoors to look for food!
I wrote this because many people have asked how and where I am living!
⚫️We have no slippers!
The dilapidated house is the fifth place I have, along with my family, lived in since the start of the ongoing genocide!
Don't be alone today, literally or figuratively.
Knit closer. Build what they can never have because they're amoral spiteful empty husks.
Hold my hand. Please. I'm scared. And I know we can do it together.
Things I'm thinking about tonight:
- please check on on your trans friends. "Hey bud! Was watching the game last night and saw like 15 anti-trans ads. It fucking sucks. Can I buy you an election-day coffee and donut to make up for it a tiny bit?"
If you see something happen tomorrow, something racist, something transphobic, write down the details as soon as you can, then call 1-866-OUR-VOTE / 866-687-8683!!
