Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.
One day that person went away.
And then I had a brother.
He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.
Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.
.@Gustodon I grew up with a brother, and we fought often as brothers do. He went away to war and saw unspeakable tragedy in the Battle of Fallujah. He volunteered to go back a second time believing it was the right thing to do. Conservatives would love to use this person as their model patriot.
2 years ago my brother went away but I gained a sister. These same conservatives who would have fawned all over my sibling’s story now want to pretend he doesn’t exist and otherwise destroy their life.
She doesn’t need me to fight her battles, but I’ll stand along side her and everyone like her every day nonetheless.
