I think it’s partly Apple’s fault for removing the headjack from iPhones. We used to be a society.
Jacob Lawrence, "The Swearing In," an image of American citizens gathered to witness the peaceful transition of the US presidency, which Lawrence created for a portfolio honoring Jimmy Carter's inauguration in January 1977
The fact that reactionary centrists are still doing the 'name one transphobic thing she's said' schtick shows that they have just agreed with her all along
