(541 posts)1. Agree! Here's the text of the email from today:
Its Transgender Remembrance Day. Where to begin? I think right up front with pointing out yet again that yes, Donald Trump won the election, but he did it with only 22% of Americans voting for him. And you can be, wait a minute Bill, kids dont get to vote for him so you need to exclude kids when talking about this election. But this election was all about todays kids and their rejection of everything Donald Trump stands for.
So much of this election was Republican anger at the majority of Americas kids for not being white enough, their version of male enough, Christian enough, or straight enough. Of all the young people Republicans were lashing out against this election, none had them angrier at the future of this country than transgender kids and their families who love them.
With how incredibly cruel and fundamentally corrupt Republicans have become, the idea that transgender kids are at the top of the Republican anger list shows transgender kids must be doing something right
Yes, hard times ahead and so much senseless, needless suffering for millions of kids and their families. But nothing sums up todays Republican party better than a bunch of con men pretending they know better than the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. They dont know better.
Theres right and wrong in this world. Every day we are seeing more of just how wrong Republicans have become.

So 44455C if you are looking for a half-cup jar of really good Garlic. Its easy. No need to put the Granulated Garlic in your basket, the 44455C code does that for you and for free.
And I still owe you a catalog of spices featuring the moms of transgender kids. It really is like, once you see these kids through the love of their moms, any sense of doubt evaporates. These kids are exactly who they are and just trying to live their best lives. They deserve everyones support.
At first we were held back on the catalog project just by not having the story writers and communications people we once had. As time progressed and Republicans began to target transgender people as part of their 11.5 election strategy, I began to feel, even with anonymity, any details at all were too dangerous to share. I will still get this figured out.
And to all those facing these Republican needless waves of hate, please hang in there. The future is so much brighter than the now. The Republicans are already flaming out spectacularly and its still two months from the inauguration.
Nobody elected them to be cruel to trans kids. They were elected to provide cheap eggs, milk, and hash browns. Once they deport all the poultry and dairy farm workers and everyone responsible for picking, processing, and preparing potatoes prices will skyrocket and Republican support will crumble. Then we will see a brighter future. Not long now.
Remember, you are loved.
