Charlotte-I'm so sorry that the Tr$mp 2.0 fascist Huns are coming after you and other trans folks like this. As a straight white guy with 73 years on the planet so far, I don't face what you all do personally but I take all this lying about gender from the #convictedfelon 's administration very seriously: it's SO damned WRONG!

I hope our country lasts long enough that we can reverse all the insanities we have seen so far -- and all the ones that will be inflicted on us.

It appears that we may need to consider overthrowing this terrorist regime by whatever means become necessary, just like the colonists broke free from tyrannical King George III...

Sending love and support to you and the many others living in fear and anger over this insanity. I can’t pretend to know what you going through; I just know I wish you didn’t have to.

I immediately thought of you after watching Hunter Schafer's TikTok. Absolutely terrifying. Sending you all the love 🩷

I don’t know what to say except that we who care about human rights have to be louder give what we can show up and work to get out the vote. For you and for every one of us.

This is horrifying and incomprehensible - except as the deliberate fascist othering of a vulnerable group so relatively small that they aren’t considered a threat as a voting bloc. I’m proud to be an ally, Charlotte, and will be more than willing to be a way station on the rainbow railroad into Canada if and when the need arises.

I am sickened by this and ashamed to be an American right now. Every member of our congress who allow these actions to take place should be ashamed also.

Since trans people only make up about 1 % of the population, this is particularly disturbing. These verbal attacks on trans women, more than trans men, are very dangerous to trans women in this country at this time. I fear the attacks could become more physical than verbal. I know everyone here would support you. I’m praying for safety for you and all other trans people.

Oh friend, it is the worst of times and the worst-est of times. As your trans sister, I’m in this with you to the bitter end. But one day, together, we will fucking win this stupid fight. ✊🏳️‍⚧️

Stay strong. Those against you have the loudest voices right now b/c they are backed by a demented man, but I still believe that more of the country is in your corner, and if not outwardly in your corner, quietly believing that as long as it doesn't harm them in any way, people should be free to live their lives.
