Yeah, no. Sorry, wingnuts. You can’t legislate that people be cruel and hateful in their hearts or in their actions. “You can be a hateful, terrible person to trans kids if the power of the constuhtooshun compels you!”

Oh, thank you so much for telling me how I, a trans woman, should feel about all this. Let me affix my smile firmly to my face and go forth bravely with the knowledge that it's all going to be okay!

My mother is a freaking Pollyanna. You know what it got me? A mother who never, ever defended me and told me to just look on the bright side, defending the people who spat in my face on the bus and punched me in the back of the head on the days I preferred to walk home.

Pollyanna is crap..
