No court ruling or executive order can reduce the beautiful symphony of biological complexity and nuanced identify down to the narrow confines of transphobic bigotry. They can just make life unfair and miserable.

The GOP is spending tens of millions of dollars on a campaign to make others afraid of less than 1% of the population. This is a distraction. This is scapegoating and evil.

Screenshot of a transcript. Text reads:

We are a resilient people. We will not be bullied. 
We will stand together as a united nation.
We will speak with one voice in defence of our national interest, our sovereignty and our 
constitutional democracy.
By staying true to our values, by harnessing our unique strengths and endowments, and by 
forging a common purpose, we can turn these trying circumstances to our advantage and propel 
our country forward. 
As South Africans, we stand for peace and justice, for equality and solidarity. 
We stand for non-racialism and democracy, for tolerance and compassion.
We stand for equal rights for women, for persons with disability and for members of the LGBTQI+ 
community
We stand for our shared humanity, not for the survival of the fittest.

So grateful to be living in #SouthAfrica. Oom Cyril left no doubt at last night's #SONA about being #ProudlySouthAfrican in the face of disinformation & bullying from the current US administration.

I'm in South Africa: It's not a risk, it's already happened,with numerous PEPFAR clinics forced to suddenly close doors and cease services with ZERO opportunity to plan for patient care. The immediate impact on patients and frontline health care workers is horrifying.
