22. Hey y'all, I want to make it clear

that I posted this because I am an ally. I do not have any trans persons in my family. I know one personally who has had to hide from his family most of his life. I have had gay friends all my life and I have a gay granddaughter. The transphobes and homophobes make me furious and I'm not sure what to do about them other than ban the hell outta them, but they sure do not belong here. I don't want to talk to them because you can't reason with them. You just can't. So I hope you won't yell at me for posting this. I did it because it made me so damn mad.
