Explain that to a trans person who, if the republicans gets their way, will be considered a sexual predator and imprisoned(at best…) for simply existing in public.

Don't have to do that one. I am a trans person and I have more skin in this than most of you do. I understand the risks very clearly, but the difference is I actually have a spine.

I'd rather explain why I'm not voting for Biden to any of them than explain to a Palestinian child who has only ever known war and hunger why I'm supporting the people sending the bombs.

My sense of solidarity will not allow me to sell out Palestinians for my own safety or the safety of my loved ones. An injury against one is an injury against all. And what you people say about Palestinians today is what you'll say about trans people tomorrow. If the Democrats decide to nominate someone who wants to exterminate us next time, we'll be just as much as an acceptable sacrifice.
