I am in my favorite city in Texas, it's a happening Saturday night, Wurstfest is going on, and I just have to pass the city by.

I am alone, visibly trans, in rural Texas, and there are crowds everywhere. And all it takes is one jerk to make my life very complicated very quickly.

This is what they want. To make us go away, become invisible and get your vote while they drive us away.

But at least the guy at Chicken Express called me ma'am. I hope the next generation of politicianscan undo this mess.
