    I find it really bizarre how Trump has really turned his focus towards attacking trans people in the last 6 months or so. Was it because the optics behind attacking immigrants was getting too negative so he had to find an even smaller group to pick on?

            such an innocent time, honestly, back when everybody could just pretend that he was an idiot the first time he said this. now, we get to live through the Most Pro-LGBTQ Presidency Ever, and figure out how to un-fuck everything in a way that won't just get ruined 4 years later again.
