While the DoJ has been making this clear for a while, it’s still awesome to have the President just come out and say this.
I live in southeastern NC; our Sheriff came right out and said, “Yeah, we’re not enforcing this. We got better things to do.”
Oh, I see. It’s the federal government being the bullies here, not the state legislature that wants to force trans men and women into the wrong bathrooms.
If I was married to a swimmer, I’d demand he be shirtless most of the time.
It’s also super shitty that trans people need to ‘pass’ in order to live openly according to their gender identity in even the most forward-thinking of cities (not just in the US, but everywhere).
the GOP has no one but themselves to blame for trump. When all you do is feed your electorate red meat in war mongering, racism, sexism, homophobia, islamophobia, xenophobia, absurd conspiracy theories, disdain for poor people, smart people, tolerant people, and basically any one who’s ever visited another country…

Maybe my experience is different, but whenever I explain that I was a victim of child abuse (awful, awful, basically was held prisoner by my mother, abused), I am not told I’m a survivor. Or a victim. In fact, I am pressured to forgive or the listener explains away the abuse because they refuse to believe a mother…
I think society requires that narrative because we live in a climate in which people CANNOT deal with these problems on a large scale.
There are things you survive. There are things you get over or move past.
