I think a lot of Trump voters - not all, but a bunch - are convinced that Democrats want to…

Cartoon: Nonbinaries Don’t Care About Your Bullshit
This cartoon is drawn by Nadine Scholtes. People online who hate nonbinary people are strikingly bitter about it, and for no reason I can understand. “What’s wrong with these people?” they growl, and go on and on about how “narcissistic” … Continue reading
