It was almost exactly two years ago we saw what was happening and decided our safest bet was being as visible as possible in the neighborhood. We live in one of the edge areas, more red than blue but not by a large margin. Wouldn’t want to make a bet either way on the neighbors standing up for a random trans woman being harassed. On the other hand, Rain, who they’ve had dozens of conversations with, who lent them sugar on thanksgiving (it really happens lol), who’s family shoveled their walk after the surprise snow, etc. - that is a different story.

I hope, anyway.
