In light of #RFKJr's announcement today of his plans to cut off life-saving #HealthCare for #trans youth, it seems appropriate to re-share this piece I wrote a couple of months ago.

We Must Stand with Our Trans Neighbors | Defend Public Health

Most of us have some hobby or favorite activity we do to keep ourselves sane amid the pressures of daily living and the increasing political madness that is the USA. For me, it’s performing in community theater, and that’s where I met Perry (a pseudonym). At 17, Perry was the youngest transgender person I’d ever known. Today, he and every trans person in the U.S. is in danger.
