When ever I encounter anything trans-y, I attack it. For example, any form that asks me about what gender I am, like at a doctors office, dentist, any sort of application, I make as big a fuss as possible and I demand to speak to what every management is available and tear into them. Same thing is anyone mentions or asks about pronouns. Or has a name label that appears to be wrong, say a boy with a girl's name at a store or a waitress, or a bank etc, I draw attention and make a fuss. I correct any person who tries to trans me during a conversation or at a social or professional event. I am waiting for the opportunity to encounter a man in the ladies bathroom. I strongly say that trans is NOT associated with suicide, that this a lie. If someone says I am "a transphobe" I attack that too, I dont run away and dont take it lying down. Lots of people hate me, but who cares. Sticks and stones.....

‘with persistence a drop of water hollows out the stone’

PITT gave moms and dads caught in a terrifying, heart-wrenching disaster a voice for sharing anger, anguish and hope.

No one else would listen.

Together we shall see the end of this horrible contagion.
