My friend Eileen’s daughter Q is 10. I am crying - and I am not a crier - knowing that today was when she learned
“She found it unfathomable that we are down to “really old men.” I had been expecting the outcome, but forgot that for Q it was new and heartbreaking.”

I am 52 and I’m trying to remember when I learned.
How old were you when you learned that as girls and women we are fucked?

I have for a long, long time now expected patriarchy - I see it coming. I smell it.
Today on @NPR, @ConnieSchultz described it as “encore sexism.” We’ve seen it so many times.
By when you’re 10, and at times earlier, it’s brand new and it fucking hurts.

And I can’t stop crying because I want this world to be better for Q and for my nieces and for everyone’s daughters.
And every day I fight so fucking hard and it’s still so fucked up.
And I’m not a crier. But I see her picture and I don’t know how else to react.

Trans and gender diverse/non-conforming friends and comrades.
The above was an expression of my experience as a cis woman. Forgive me for not asking about your experience. When I say “women and girls” I mean cis and trans but it’s important to say both. Forgive me.
