    My heart goes out to all the trans people.

    I don’t get this at all, you’re just trying to live. I love you folks, I do my best to be an ally, I wish I could do more.

      Scapegoating and distraction. The MAGAts always have to have someone to hate. Trans and immigrants are just the flavor of the week.

      I been saying it since November 9th. And check out my profile pic. It’s a Washington Nationals baseball cap. You don’t just do that. I’m deeply entrenched in this American nightmare. The 60% of Americans who are eligible to vote and do elected for a nazi government. The remaining 40% thought a nazi government was no worse or better than the status quo. So basically 30% of this country are Nazis, 30% can be reasonably assumed to probably not be nazis (though lord knows some of them apparently are) and the remaining 40% are so goddamn unaware of the nazis that they’re willing to stand idly by while nazis do nazi stuff

    From the comments section of the article, Erin clarifies:

    "To answer some quick questions about my latest story:

    • It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see

    • It does not impact American citizens

    • The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States

    • It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere"

      Ever since TSA was created I have been reluctant to visit the USA, it’s not nice being treated like a criminal when you visit a country as a tourist.

      And now it’s worse…

    It’s cool that one bigot can do that.

    Just goes to show you, don’t let your dreams just be dreams.

    Surely there’s a library book somewhere on Russian mixology, I’ve always wanted to learn how they make cocktails over there.
