"I’ve been reluctant to say this all day, but the schadenfreude I’m seeing over
Kristi Noem’s husband spending thousands of dollars on his cross-dressing
kink...
I’m struggling to understand it. Maybe I even question the intent.
I don’t feel schadenfreude. I don’t feel amused. I don’t feel the least bit
satisfied.
I just feel angry. Angry at everything, really.
Most of that anger is directed at the Noems and people like them who have built
careers and fortunes off ostracizing and demonizing and dehumanizing trans
people, seeking to obliterate us while they do what they’ve been doing in
private.
They’ve made attacking trans people a core element of their political brand.
They have shamelessly and ruthlessly sexualized our existence. They have
declared us the canary in the coal mine for the fall of Western Civilization.
They have framed us as humanity’s furthest point in distance from God.
I’m sitting here, on Trans Day of Visibility, in a country I served which does
not recognize my service, from which I cannot leave with an accurate passport
that will keep me safe abroad, upon whose roads I cannot drive in a growing
number of states with an accurate driver’s license, to workplaces that will not
hire people like me or hospitals that will not treat people like me or
businesses that will not serve people like me."
