How injustices compound: Many protestors are people who‘ve lost health insurance during COVID.

I was arrested on June 2nd, 2020 with around 100 other protesters in Los Angeles. While I was ziptied and facing the wall, two male officers joked behind me about my gender presentation: "Do you think it's a female? Are you sure?"

-due to lack of access to a safe abortion (bc of policy written by pro-lifers), poor Black person has baby.
-baby is put up for adoption.
-baby is never adopted bc baby is Black.
-baby becomes too old & is forced onto the streets.
age-old story.
I emailed my parents the clip of me on CBC talking abortion and Alabama, and both my parents separately asked why I say pregnant people.
I said to be inclusive of trans men.
My dad was like, Got it.
It’s that simple. No fuss no muss.
