Watching closing arguments in the Chauvin trial and I'm stunned. So much of the prosecution's argument is devoted to proving that George Floyd is a PERSON, a HUMAN BEING. Because that NEEDS to be proven. 1/n #GeorgeFloyd Prosecuting Attorney, Steve Schleicher, started off by saying George Perry Floyd, Jr.'s full name and showing photos of him, as a child with his mom, as an adult with others. "He was surrounded by people...he cared about and who cared about him." 2/n

I am so over being told what I think when I see a penis. First, Freud told me when a young girl first encounters a ... penis "[s]he makes her judgment and her decision in a flash. She has seen it and knows that she is without it and wants to have it." #NotInMyName 1/n Now @jk_rowling, other anti-trans activists, and even Justice Samuel Alito tell me that, as a rape survivor, I'm triggered by seeing, or by the very thought of seeing, a penis in a locker room. (I've never had occasion to see anyone's genitals in a women's room.) #NotInMyName 2/n
