The Threat to Same-Sex Marriage: A Cautionary Tale
28 SepI have said repeatedly to the LGB who chose not to support transgender people that: “You’re next. They will come for same-sex marriage.” But Cassandra is doomed to never be believed.

24 SepEvery time there’s a mass shooting in the US, my trans friends and I hold our collective breath. If the shooter turns out to be trans, it could signal the final days of our human rights in a country that is supposed to be a shining beacon on the hill for freedom. Trans people are rarely responsible for these mass shootings, but it does sometimes happen. There are disturbed people in every demographic, of course, but conservative white men are responsible for the overwhelming majority of mass shootings.

Experiencing Vaccine Side Effects: My Journey
21 SepI got the latest Covid and flu vaccines yesterday afternoon. Side-effects from my vaccines arrived overnight. They (as expected) triggered a fibro flare.

19 SepIn case you have been wondering, yes I am intentionally lying low. In today’s world, with all that the government is doing against trans people, it makes sense to avoid making too many waves. “Existence is Resistance” as the phrase goes.

6 AugEdit: This was “fixed” around 17:00 EST. Maybe it was an error? Or maybe too many people saw the attempt? Who knows?
Congress has started pretending parts of the US Constitution don’t exist. Presumably they did this to make the “Mad King” a bit happier. No, this is not sarcasm. Sections 8, 9, and 10 of Article 1 have been partially or completely deleted. You can find the altered version on the Congressional website here.
Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.
Section 9 had, among other things:
Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.
The full original text of the founding document of this nation is still available, at least for now, at the National Constitution Center. I personally have saved a copy of that page. It’s come to this. If we want to preserve our history as a nation, we have to do so individually. Each and every one of use should make a copy.
For now, the journey (as a nation) continues. How long that will be true, no one can truly predict.
