Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker passionately defended trans youth at a recent Human Rights Campaign event, denouncing former President Trump as a "cruel bully." He criticized attempts to reverse LGBTQ+ rights gains and emphasized the importance of resisting authoritarianism. Pritzker reassured young transgender individuals that their rights and existence matter, stating, "We are here for you." Janelle Monáe echoed similar sentiments, highlighting that bullying persists beyond childhood and evolves into larger societal issues. Both speakers rallied support for continuing the fight against discrimination.
Bullies respond to one thing only ... a punch in the face.
And in the midst of this existential fight, this battle that seems to consume everything, we must not sacrifice the most persecuted for popularity.
I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them.
Bullies only win when we let them think they can.
