“I can tell them, as someone who is trans and who every single day spends my day talking with people across the political and ideological divide, I can tell you that most people are good and decent and kind, and we are not as divided as the algorithms make it seem,” she said.

Data released by the Human Rights Campaign corroborates that statement. It found 85% of Americans think trans people deserve the same rights and protections as everyone else.

This is a major reason I refuse to watch broadcast TV especially anytime near election cycles. The number of absolute garbage attack ads against us is enraging and I refuse to let them get me upset. And because these TV channels only care about the money they are getting and could care less if the content is complete misinformation, I refuse to watch the rest of the year as well. Freedom of speech should not be an unregulated engine for hatred but that is what we have I guess.
