The new year was just two days old when the news of a transgender person in Oklahoma was murdered. The attacks on trans people have been ramped up in recent months. The media, in my mind, is complicit in fomenting some of the anti-LGBTQ bigotry. Trans people are being made to become invisible because of policies that wish to deny our existence.
It is time that we stand in solidarity for the right to be who we are. No one can tell us how to live our lives. I will not go into a closet because someone feels uncomfortable being around me. That's not my problem. many have sacrificed much to have what we have now and I'm not going to relinquish because of some bigoted politician, preacher, or anyone else.
