This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific policies to try and eliminate trans people from society.  Trans people have always existed, in every society, but this fascist administration has declared a war against reality and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist.  Trump's executive orders say that trans children should be abused at school, in their home, in public, and at hospitals.  Trump officially equates transness with CHILD ABUSE.  Trump's orders are a decree to destroy all traces of trans existence from society, to punish every trans person and those that love them, and declares that all trans people are subhuman threats and liars who should not be allowed to exist publicly.  He is attacking children, he is attacking families, and he is delighting in his sadism.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

May the citizens of the USA one day rise up to reclaim their dignity and find the will to once again punch nazis.  What was once a nation that pretended to be ruled by law is now dominated by a mad king.
