It’s heartbreaking that there wasn’t a bigger mention that a life was lost while setting up for this event. Contract workers aren’t disposable, and this never should’ve been approved :ahem @mayorlightfoot :
@BrandonCCD1@ChicagoParks,how can we ensure @NASCAR isn’t invited back?

For this year’s #TransDayOfVisibility, we asked friends to share a message of love & solidarity with our young trans followers, and send a rallying cry to the culture at large that we will not stand for the right wing’s political attacks. Hate ends here: https://t.co/8NX335Eoju

I’ve never fought as hard for a story as I have for this one. It took months to find the right sources who were willing to talk and share their stories. For a while, I thought it would never publish but I’m so glad it finally has.

As I was getting off the plane last night, a stewardess asked what I was so excited about. I told her I'd won my election & was the first trans woman elected in Montana.
She immediately teared up. "My son is trans," she said, & began to tell me about all the joys/fears... [1/3]
