Why you should make some - or a lot - of noise
It's happening. But geez, it's not loud enough. I'm talking about bullying/cyberbullying of
transgender people. Please, I beg you, do what it takes to END the violence. Anytime someone
does this crap, let your voice be heard. US Representatives, US Senators, State house and
senators, governors, state or city board of ed - all need to hear our voices. Thank you.

ezs note: I, for the life of me, can't understand the need for a bigger
butt. But if you really feel the need, whether you are a transgender or a
woman from time of birth, go to a board-certified doctor, never
anyone else. OK, time to get off my soapbox.
