“I graduate in two years. But I’m more concerned about kids in elementary or middle school who are coming up and realizing they are queer…and finding out that teachers can’t protect them,” they said.

I can set an automatic message to go out monthly! Lol. Bc MK, in my view, you are always right. I know you don't like this kind of hero-worship but it's just the facts.

Basically using family dysfunction as a wedge/divide and conquer strategy. Like at the more granular level...it's not about the gender. It's about families acting wack toward their own kids. I think? It's about a culture that despises children, too.

Part of why this fascinates me is because turning parents against their children isn't easy to do overall. Most parents with trans kids support them! So the idea that parents are really generating all this stuff is,well, not true. But the right is getting parents to participate.

I am becoming obsessed with how the right wing has generated all this anti-trans animosity among parents specifically. Even turning them against their own children. The abusive-family dynamics of our national politics...now combined with a newfangled gender fear. Feels historically significant.
