Damn, can a transwoman, or transpeople in general get through the first full week of the New Year and new decade without being disrespected?
Sadly, the answer is no.
We have a moment in which the entire trans community is bursting with pride at one of our own getting an historic federal appointment by the president, only to have tabloid newspapers and comedians turn it into a fracking joke.
