Proud Boys crashing Drag Queen story hours, planned bludgeoning of Pride attendees, trans kids stripped of gender-affirming health care, trans kids banned from sports, trans-supportive parents investigated for child abuse, "Don't Say Gay" bills, ..

What is your last straw?

I'm horrified at the people who honestly see themselves as allies to my trans son who are categorically SILENT on what is going on in this nation around LGBTQ rights, specifically the attacks on trans youth.

Many won't even do the bare minimum of visibly signaling support via an #illgowithyou button or trans-supportive T-shirt or sticker. Most don't call people in on their social media.

But they LOVE to remind me they're allies when I post.

I get how frightening standing with people who are repeatedly being threatened with violence, are the subject of vile and hateful misinformation campaigns, used as wedge issues to win elections can be.

I get you don't want to be caught in the crossfire.

But god DAMN if parents like me and kids like mine don't need you to show up in meaningful ways right now, and the fact that most people aren't is both heartbreaking and maddening.
