Wow

I can only say wow...and I say with pride that he is my favorite president in my lifetime, and quite possibly our country. Sure beats the orange zest man child in the Oval Office now.

Transgender

I have heard the hateful rhetoric from Milo especially against transgender people. I am transgender, and although acceptance has increased, there are so many people whose ignorance has made my day so much more challenging. Sometimes people call Ann a man due to her larynx and height. Milo suggests if a transwomen cannot pass, she should just give up, and has dead named individuals on various campuses to illustrate his point.

All hateful rhetoric is wrong, and please I am not blaming anyone here. I am passionate since when I came out and endured abuse from individuals like these two people and their followers.
