Imagine losing custody of your cis-gendered biologically male child because a teacher caught them playing with barbie dolls, or my little pony toys. Or vice versa.

I would have been an instant orphan.

you call your friend by a nickname? believe it or not, straight to jail.

They want trans kids silent. They want trans kids dead. Fuck them. Fuck silence. I’m going to fucking scream.

drove to missouri recently. close to the border i saw a barn with a freshly painted swastika, very ornate.

once we got over the border i saw a house with the message “please stop hurting me and my animals” spray painted onto the siding.

not a place i go if i can help it.

I’ve lived in Missouri. No matter where it appears on the map, Missouri is in the Deep South.

Missouri sounds like misery.
