You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Gah, I hate those that sit behind your eye like that. I hope the drugs work.

So as the day progresses I am more and more angry about the NC statehouse vote. The fake fear of bathroom attacks or whatever. I do not even know. There is no cause for it, just isolating and humiliating already disenfranchised and often fragile people. FUCK YOU ASSHOLES.

You know who attack people is disproportionate numbers? STRAIGHT MEN. Ban them from my spaces!

Ok not what I really mean, but JFC PEOPLE.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BAN ALL MEN.

I think the big guns are working. But I'm also tripping balls, man. Good lord. I kind of like this loopy feeling (family of addicts, yay), but it's also disconcerting.

The fake fear of bathroom attacks or whatever.

Trans people are overwhelmingly more likely to be attacked (and killed) than to attack someone. But by all means, make them more unsafe by forcing them to use the wrong bathroom. Raaaaaage. #preachingtothechoir

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And, as has been pointed out elsewhere, who's going to check to verify someone's "biological" gender? What happens to women who aren't conventionally feminine or men who don't look masculine enough?

And, for once, I feel justified in saying "think of the children" - since they've proposed similar rules for schools. What happens when someone gets inappropriate while checking a child's genitals?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I would have so much more respect for these idiots if they stopped trying to cloak their hate in "concerns about women's health" and "we have to protect the children" and just flat out said "We hate and fear brown people, gays, and anyone's who's in the slightest way different from us, and we think women are too stupid to make their own decisions."

Okay, respect isn't really the word, but at least we wouldn't have to waste time with sanctimonious hand-wringing.

"We hate and fear brown people, gays, and anyone's who's in the slightest way different from us, and we think women are too stupid to make their own decisions."

I thought this was LITerally (said Chris Traiger-style) Donald Trump's presidential platform.

I would do like to organize a massive cross-dressing protest at the capital to form lines at the bathrooms.
