Was that ever a thought in Tiger Wood’s mind? A Presidential Medal of Freedom — when accepted – sends a message.

Funny how the media (I’m looking at you, New York Times- and many others) are now worried about the safety of journalists after the election- but didn’t give a shit about the safety & humanity of trans people before the election.

“If you allow people to elaborate on why they think for example, gay marriage is not the right thing to do, then you mostly find very understandable reasons why they think that,” said Exner.

“They might come from a very religious background or they have fears on what this will make generally with how families stick together or how the role of the family in society will evolve.”
