"I believe that our trans friends, our trans siblings deserve our support and encouragement, endorsement and vindication now more than ever as the rising tide of transphobia threatens to engulf not just trans people but everybody who associates with them. It's being used as a kind of lever to open up all kinds of horror. But meanwhile, all lots of trans people are suffering. We need to show our love."
"I stand in absolute solidarity with the trans community forever and always. Trans rights are human rights. To all my trans friends: you are loved, you are cared for. Everybody has a right to good health, to safety, to have a voice and for their voice to be heard. Keep being strong."
