Happy Trans Day of Visibility #TDOV
Here’s a thread of pics of me hanging out, being Trans.
We’ll start with me sleeping through a football game w/ my dad and chilling in a kiddie pool. Little country-chunky-monkey James was trans, even then! 🥰
Then people will be all, “Why should we vote for you? What about when you caved on a weak deal and I lost my health insurance?” and they’ll be all, “See! This is why we lose!! You’re so busy attacking your own team! You must want fascists to win!”
Every f**king time with these people. And watch, they’ll concede on repro, they’ll hold the subsidies vote, which we’ll lose… then Dems will be like, “we’re proud of our hard work and efforts, this is why everyone needs to vote”

Wheelchair users have been trying for ages to raise awareness about their wheelchairs being broken so often when they fly, and the devastating impact this has on them.
@AmericanAir baggage handlers decided to give a demonstration of how much they enjoy breaking them 😡
Before we even begin to comment on how inappropriate and against the City’s OWN published guidelines this would be if true, @DougShipman needs to confirm if the City Council gave permission to a city-hired law firm to begin verification of petitions behind closed doors.
