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 To anyone "on the fence" (ugh...) about this, there are really only two options: You've never witnessed a person finding themselves, and seen sadness, depression & anger melted away by finally feeling like a real person - or you have, and you want to take that away from them and bring back the despair.

One of these states can be remedied. The other is unforgivable & makes you nothing short of a sadistic monster.
