Next up, they're going to erase the remaining letters
I'm surprised they haven't.
It's a weird one, probably this is because I always try to see the bright side but I have mixed feelings. On one hand writing off just trans and queer people feels even more targeted and evil than deleting all letters.
But on the plus side, the fact that LGB haven't been removed makes me feel slightly hopeful? This is a clear step back obviously. But it makes me feel that finally the idea that gay, lesbian, bisexual people exist and don't need conversion therapy has actually sunk in and we can't be erased so easily.
Now we have to keep pushing to get "TQ" similarly unerasable. ๐ช
How does that old saying go?
"First they came for the transgender people, and then they stopped there."
