Reminder that Sarah McBride is the first out transgender woman elected to congress. The Republicans are specifically targeting her and future transgender representatives by banning them their gendered restrooms of choice. As always, cruelty is the point.
It upsets me too but I don’t think being angry about it will change anything. I’d rather take a moment to learn a lesson from her because I’m not sure I’d be so publicly level headed about it.
She’s on a big stage and this is a big moment for a community of marginalized people. She needs to be strong, not just for herself, but the people who find a reflection of themselves in her. Her ability to stay calm in this silly storm is admirable.
