Mike Johnson has banned trans women from using restrooms at the Capitol today, on the day we trans people mourn and honor our dead.

Johnson cited "scripture" when explaining his position on the matter.

This was an open attack on Sarah McBride, the first trans person in Congress. And any trans staffers and visitors as well, but they have no visibility.

I figure this is going to tell us how much we trans people can rely on the Democratic Party over the next four years.

Because if they won't fight for her - one of their own - in Congress, well then the rest of us have no reason to hold out hope they'll fight for us, either.
