Pushback 11

This one is a quickie because I keep swearing I will take the weekend off but then a bunch of good people show up and push back. Given that transfolks only make up .8% of the population and the recent order banning trans athletes affects only TWELVE athletes, I think it's important to highlight the bravery of the trans ally community for showing up and shouting. The right wing's favorite philosopher (Jesus) is famous for saying, "whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me." (Not that trans kids are the least, but they are treated as such, along with migrants). I am pretty sure Jesus is not downloading our personal data alongside Elon and "big balls," is what I'm saying.

Finally, a quick shout out the good people of Cincinnati. We appreciate you.
