   "Both of them were equally determined to make sure that trans people did not become the focus of this story. Neither of them believed that trans people ought to be allowed to speak for themselves. Taylor Lorenz is not Chaya Raichik’s adversary. She is her collaborator... Both of them set out to make bank and boost their brands on the back of a dead fucking kid.."

     @gwynnion recently in my personal life I’ve found myself having to back away from a friend because she hangs out with dangerous people. Her new boyfriend is an absolute psychopath and her best friend has developed this alcoholism related delusional disorder, and being around her feels really unsafe now.

     And I just passed by a post that said that Taylor is now in danger because of peoples reactions to her interviewing this bigot, and it has made me decide that yes, yes I do need to distance myself from my friend who has dangerous friends. Because this is what happens when people are not discerning about who they let in their lives.

     And my silly friend thinks that by letting anyone and everyone into her life and her home she’s doing a good thing by not being judgmental, it’s OK if she thinks I am judgmental, but I need her to understand that it’s not judgmental to look at someone and decide that their values, their morals, and the way that they live their life are not compatible with her life and maybe they shouldn’t be invited into her home.

     Jude Doyle does an amazing job of articulating the anger we trans people feel so often.

     Nex should still be alive. This world and its transphobia kills so many of us.
