@mattxiv My, my, so Vance likes to dress up as a drag queen as he persecutes trans folks. Makes sick sense.

I am so happy that Wordpeace is publishing 2 very political poems, especially The Second Inaugural Address of Donald J Trump, which is now published before the poem expired.

Plus, these trans men.

And these trans men…

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Last week, Ron DeSantis signed legislation into law requiring transgender people to use public restrooms that align with their assigned sex at birth.

The six trans men shown below were all assigned female at birth. I’m wondering if DeSantis REALLY thinks it makes sense for them to use the women’s restroom — and what Republican women in Florida would think about that.

If you ask me, anti-trans Republicans haven’t thought this out fully. Who agrees? 🧵👇
