She did so well. She regularly does but wow she did so well. I wouldn’t have done anywhere near as well being harassed and coerced like this...about a situation when I was harassed and coerced. And the LOUDEST moments were Wendy’s face when Keke says, “You’re a woman in power.”

We fail trans people so many places before whatever interaction steals them from us. Whether at the hands of the law or community/family/lovers. The big problems are gender and all the “systems” or whatnot. But smaller? ARE THE KIDS IN YOUR LIFE SAFE TO EXPRESS GENDER?!
