As was posted in my previous essay by Dervish a link to a Matt Taibbi article The Russia Story Reaches a Crisis Point is worth a read but it is the last paragraph that I want to deal with:-
HB 1361 was introduced in the Indiana legislature on Thursday. Its intent was to block transgender Indianans from updating their birth certificates.
The intent of this bill is to strip transgender people of the most basic and fundamental dignity.
HB 1361 seeks to deny the very existence of transgender people—with the cruel mandate that a transgender person’s birth certificate can never match the identity they live as and the person they have always known themselves to be.

This post wrongly called out MarilynW. I'm not taking it down because at this point the harm has been done. However, I refer you to this post, in which I apologize to Marilyn. There I explain exactly why my apology is necessary. I also specifically explain in detail what I did wrong and why it was wrong. In the future, I promise I will will not call out any member of this site on the front page.

However, he was elected by our "democratic" process such that it is/is not.
There have been many accusations so far among them:
So Obama gives his farewell speech and goes out with a tear in his eye. Then he gives Biden a stupid medal, because it is stupid now that Biden has it, and they both have tears in their eyes.
Once upon a time there was a man. A man with a plan, a plan to save the world from the threat of nuclear annihilation. Or so he once claimed, not so long ago. His name? Barack Obama, President of the United States.
U.S. special forces won a "glorious victory" in Afghanistan recently.
It seems that to defend themselves from Taliban snipers, they only had to kill 33 unarmed civilians, including women and children. A U.S. military investigation has cleared the U.S. forces of wrongdoing yesterday.
The LGBT community in West Philly is reporting that a violent man with a gun is targeting transgender women of color.
This is nothing new. And we've been saying this for years that trans-women of color are in eminently more danger than most of the other folks in the LGBTQ community.
