californians can like the way gavin is fighting trump and demand he support trans people. he’s our elected official. he’s supposed to listen to us. stop telling people to calm down when we’re demanding rights for trans people.

All, I have a book to finish, so unless something happens (hopefully not) I'm off. But please consider this a reminder: vet your sources. We're increasingly getting our news from social media; check who's sharing something before you repost it. This is especially true for platforms like TikTok.
