We’re Wrong About the Rates of Trans People

I love Ethel and her way of presenting facts and reality. She points out that studies in high schools indicate that the rates of trans children are 3.+ and those questioning are 2.+. Plus she points out the reason more trans people are out is the same reason more gay kids came out in the 2000s, it was the left handed issue again. When being left handed became OK to admit more people admitted and openly lived as left handed. Despite everything, trans kids feel safer coming out in the US than ever before. Hugs.

Trump incompetence and corruption are an extention of white supremacy. MAGA may try to deny it, but they are the worst at judging their own racism.

While the Strait is showing how fragile and dangerous (not to mention polluting) the oil economy is, the Trump admin is spending 100s of millions in taxpayer dollars to cancel wind farms. Meanwhile, China installed three times as much wind power capacity last year as the rest of the world combined.
