I agreewith you zev. It can only be that the Rs know the next election is rigged. We just need literally OVERWHELMING voter turnout With all the Trump hyperbole attached if we have any shot of turning this around

zev, oof. we as trans people are not taking anything away from you and trans people have always been part of the movement from the beginning. marsha p johnson, silvia rivera, lou sullivan- a gay trans man. If you have never been a child that grew up into a trans adult and experienced what life is like in the closet as a trans person, please do not speak for us about our healthcare. the gay and trans communities have always crossed over. you are not losing anything as a gay man, or giving up your history of suffering through the horrific aids epidemic by standing up for trans people too. trans people died too. yes gay men still experience discrimination and violence. we all do in the lgbtq community. as a trans man, i experienced bullying and harassment from a young age i was read as too masculine of a girl, then a butch lesbian, and now that i have transitioned i am read as a gay man (i am bi/pan). we see it! trans people go through so much too. gay men are not forgotten, and you still struggle too. it is disappointing to hear a gay man express the same fearful sentiments as the right wing folks do, and i hope you inspect this element of hypocrisy. theres nuance to be discussed in trans sport, and trans youth healthcare, of course- but lets not throw trans people under the bus because you disagree with the *most militant* (and probably most traumatized) among us. please don't dehumanization and endanger us further. we are struggling as it is.

I am sitting here so fearful and in tears as I listen to your podcast. My heart breaks for my country as I witness the senate passage of the BBB. Decency lost to tyranny. I’m exhausted from attending protests and making relentless ##s of phone calls, I ask myself, what more can I do to end this tyranny??? Please, please pray for us. Happy Canada Day. Hold on to freedom. It is precious. 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦

So other than gay males, everyone else is just annoyingly “lumped in”.

I've lost many jobs bcuz of complex PTSD that wasn't properly diagnosed. Zev, I live having friendships with gay men bcuz they're true friendships person to person. Straight men get creeped out being friends with women unless there's sex involved. They push me away as they don't understand friendship not connected to gender or sex.

I'm not as upset about the Digital Tax being rescinded as much as it sounds like you are. I think there is more going on behind the scenes, in particular with the EU & UK, who also have an issue with US Tech like Google, Apple, PAYPAL, FB.

Dam, I thought this was going to be Live at 3:00 so I was watching the Canada Day stuff while waiting for 5stack. They incorporated The Order of Canada ceremony into it. Ryan Reynolds got an Order of Canada/
