30. Not on OP, but I stand with my trans brothers and sisters.

I thank the LGBT community for all they've done for equality and acceptance, as I do our brothers and sisters who are not Caucasians.

I know the fight was and is a hard one. Often dangerous, and full of people who would rather see them dead than acknowledge them as human beings.

You aren't the only one who wonders about some members of this forum, either. Some things I see posted by people who claim to be Democrats (not to mention Christians) still shock me, and I've been around the block a few times and have seen some crazy shit.

Oh, and I guess I should mention that I'm a strong feminist, going back more than 40 years, and I accept transgender women. Well, transgender people in general, really.
