8. There is nothing to fear, unless you have an agenda of ginning up a boogeyman out of thin air.

That is the score of demagoguery....just like Trump when he began his 2016 campaign claiming Mexicans are coming to rape you.

All a distraction, all sickening too. Focus on this non issue while we do next to nothing for working people. Nothing about gun violence, leading cause of death for our children. That is today's GOP on steroids.

My fear is they are focusing so much shame and hatred they're going to make life dangerous for many trans people.
