Status Updates From Worthy of the Event: An Essay

"A friend who is not trans anything that I know of takes to rebutting transphobic posts on Facebook. He explains the principles of transsexual transition, he explains transsexual politics, he explains what transsexual people want. [ ] It is impossible to not admire my friend's willingness to speak to the demons, to bear it; your heart is in exactly the right place, I think, but I want him to shut the fuck up."

Reads like lemon tekking on an empty stomach, transfixed.
