For anyone feeling targeted by this meme, here are some ways to help:

• Donate to trans focused charities, like Advocates for Trans Equality or the Transgender Law Center
• Support individual trans people. Surgery is expensive even with insurance due to time needed off work.
• Please god just listen when a trans person says you’ve done something transphobic. The vast, vast majority of trans people don’t speak up about every little thing because we are drowning in transphobia. Generally if someone has said something it’s because it genuinely bothered them, even if it wasn’t ’that bad’ it may be intimately linked for them to past trauma; roughly 40% of trans people meet the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis, compared to less than 5% of the general population.

Fucking sick. The people going along with this need to be brought before the ICC. (No, I don’t need anyone to explain to me why it won’t happen.)

Dude must smell like the inside of a vet’s office.

If you’re a gay cop and want to be at pride off duty while dressed as a cop, you’re either malicious (I mean, cop, so that reads) or too stupid to be trusted with a gun. Which, again, cop, so that also reads.

The Atlantic article indicates PBS executives were involved with the decision and removed it from PBS.org, which an affiliate station presumably couldn’t do.

Is POV (the PBS series) not a nationwide, PBS produced program rather than an individual station program? The Atlantic article mentioned at the end talks about POV having a trans gamer themed episode canceled because of potential backlash.

As the Trump administration intensifies its attacks, PBS has bent the knee in another way to dampen potential blowback by removing a scene in an Art Spiegelman documentary in which the graphic novelist Spiegelman discusses an anti-Trump cartoon. PBS also pulled a gaming documentary with trans themes, only to relist it after The Atlantic asked about its deletion.

Sounds like it’s not just the local station engaging in shenanigans.

Anyone who thinks the inclusion of trans people in public life is a battle worth laying down can kiss my trans ass. I’m not a bank, my donations are drawn from a limited well, and I’m perfectly fine with moving that money to a trans focused cause instead.

Oh my god, a common pervert has been blowing into my ass this entire time and not a trained musician??

God dammit, PBS, right before pride month? They already took your fucking money. Why should my trans ass be donating to make up for it?

oh fuck I’m late!
