An exploding rocket is a success, but trans people can’t get hormones?
The existence of trans people is a danger only to fragile egos. A trans person is ‘dangerous’ only to people who believe that a trans person existing and having dignity threatens their own existence and dignity.
It’s easy for this guy to challenge transphobia
Listen to Jon Stewart do it. Stewart’s comedic approach regarding Leslie Rutledge, the Arkansas attorney general, was straightforward. He learned to see through organized transphobia. Reporters can learn to do this too. Ask real questions.
