NEW HYPERBOLE AND A HALF!!!

(AUTHOR NOTE: My publisher told me I could post a chapter from the new book. There were 25 chapters to choose from, but I chose this one. Because I wanted to give you a love letter. And it seemed like the most appropriate love letter to give you would be an extremely indirect one that screams, "DO NOT FEEL SCARED—I AM JUST INTERACTING WITH YOU!!")

If you oppose trans rights, you oppose rights for everyone. You may not see the connections directly, but they’re there. Trans rights are a harbinger of more freedoms for everyone. Suppression and elimination of trans rights is a harbinger of fascism.

The 6 month mark in any sustained crisis is always difficult. We have all adjusted to this "new normal", but might now feel like we're running out of steam. Yet, at best, we are only 1/3 the way through this marathon. How can we keep going? THREAD /x
