Focus on failing infrastructure, not further marginalization of vulnerable populations
 

Trans people are 4x more likely to die from suicide or murder than cis people, and that’s a conservative estimate. It’s primarily because of social stigma and bigotry. Stop this nonsense and start focusing on building a better Virginia. In January Richmond was without water for 6 days. Roads are in disrepair. Buildings need renovation. Get your priorities together. Stop causing harm to people who already suffer from stigma. Tax dollars that are used to hurt and exclude people is not something I signed up for; if you support this kind of thing then you are hurting yourself—we’re only as free as the most vulnerable people. You’re next, honey.
