Converting all restrooms in your workplace, community spaces, etc. to gender-neutral restrooms right now is literally the bare minimum for defending trans people from a federal legal assault right now. This should have been done ages ago.

@X
, how in the world will you understand how half our country feels if you only congregate with the like-minded?
Thatβs what got us into this mess in the first place. So stick around. Engage in some debate. Make your case. Learn different perspectives."
It is so funny to me to see people saying this over there. How will you ever know how LoliCrusader1488 feels if you don't stay on the web site he likes?
